Bluffs

First and foremost, the staff here is always very helpful and friendly. The course was in good shape, tee boxes, fairways and rough was excellent. Greens and green surroundings were spotty, but that is expected early in the season after a long winter. Keep up the good work guys and I'll see ya again in late may/June to see this course in all it's glory!!

The Bluffs is a decent course.

Good time they give complementary bucket of range balls with tee time purchase. No GPS though.

Beautiful Friday at The Bluffs

Decided last minute on a whim to play one of our favorite course in the St. Louis area when the weather finally cooperated. Had a mid morning tee time. Got there early, and it was no big deal to hop right onto the course. No hassles given even though we had booked through Lastminutegolfer. We golf here multiple times a year, and always have a great time. The pace of play was spectacular on this day. Despite cart path only rules, still finished the round in under 3.5 hours. Even saw a deer up close on the front 9. Great course worth every penny even when paying regular rate, but discounted rate is the icing on the cake. Highly recommended. This place does tend to jam up on beautiful weekends, so go during the weekday if possible.

Look for Hot Deals, then it's worth the price

This is a course for your top 100 list. It's well maintained, the greens are true and generous and the approach shots to all greens offers a fair shot. This is a scores course if you are accurate, otherwise you can run into a lot of trouble, Woods surround many holes. Don't let that score you, it's very open. Look for a Hot Deal, the greens fees were $100 when it first opened, have been reduced to $75, still al title steep for me.

Great course in winter conditions.

Very nice course, many scenic holes. Quite a challenge from the tips, I think, but we played the middles because we are old. Winter conditions prevailed, so hard to say what normal conditions would be like. Full price is high for St. Louis area, not sure it would be a good value at full price for the average golfer because it is probably too difficult to really enjoy. It would have to be in pristine condition to warrant that price.

quality layout,great condition,one of a kind views

generous landing areas,demanding greens,variety of holes,
you will hit many different clubs into well bunkered greens,
enough risk/reward to entice you, lots of elevation change
demand solidly hit, well chosen clubs from different lies.
views around you will distract your attention from your game.
large, well stocked pro shop and spacious bar/restaurant
only add to a great experience

Great course. Tee boxes way back.

The course was nice. It was really soggy and the gold tees were moved back to a few yards in front of the blacks on most holes. The pushed back tees, wet conditions, and cold weather made it play really long.
Staff was great and the course was very well maintained. I Will be back. Also, this course always spaces the tee times appropriately. I wish more courses did this. It makes the round much more enjoyable when you are not waiting at every tee box.

First Time Playing

Beautiful Fall Day and Great Course

This is the first time that I played Bluffs but the facilities are top notch, the staff was friendly, and the course has a great layout. Some would say that the par 3s are all the same elevated and long, but I didn't find that a bad thing. The course starts and ends with a Par 5 and both holes were challenging and fun.

Course is in great shape but the recent aeration of greens was a slight impediment but expected for this time of year.

We played for free. The Golfnow rewards program is outstanding and to save 130.00 by using their site is proof!

Great track, beautiful course.

I love this course, it is my favorite in St. Louis easily.
However, I was pretty disappointed this time because when I showed up to play, the greens had been very recently aerated and were in poor condition.
I would think that I would have been warned before I paid that they had been plugged, or that I would have been offered some sort of discount because of the greens. Instead I still paid premium summer months greens fees in late October on aerated greens...
I understand the necessity of aeration, but greens fee paying golfers need to be made aware or offered discounts.

very challenging

Probably the best daily fee courses in the St. Louis area. Tees, fairways, bunkers, and greens all in great shape. Has the look and feel of a PGA layout. Definitely coming back!

Top flight course

Beautiful course, a real treat after playing so many cookie cutter subdivision courses. Challenging without being impossible for the average golfer. Just be realistic about which tee box you should be using.

I am never disappointed in the condition of The Bluffs. I only play it once or twice a year because of the cost.

Favorite Course in the Area

This, Annbriar and Tapawingo are the top three publics in the area, hands down, though not necessarily in that order.

I really enjoy playing the Bluffs. First year I felt good enough to play it. Got out there 3 times and every time I enjoy it more.

The signature Par 5 with the bluff tee box is awesome! Love watching my drive fly for what seems like an hour!

Any time I see this course on golf now for $55 or less I start to salivate...

Challenging course in great shape

It is a very challenging course with a number of long carries over hazards or waste areas. Play was a little slow from it being cart paths only, due to the morning long rain, but that is perfectly understandable. It was great to play the course at a Hot Deal rate. Hope to play again soon.

Awesome Course

This is one of the best courses in STL area. Play was awesome, tough pin placements that day, love that range balls are included with greens fees, club house is very nice, cant say enough good things. Definitely one of the best public tracks in the stl. I play there as often as my wallet permits.

Great layout, well maintained and friendly staff.

MO Bluffs is a beautiful course. With the wide range of of tee box options it lets you make the course as challenging as you want.
Especially with deals from golfnow.com, this course is well worth playing!
Really enjoyed the layout, the condition of the course and practice areas were great....and the staff was very nice.
Can't wait to play again!
