Rating 73.6

Quail Creek Golf Club is tied for being the most difficult public course in the St. Louis area. Designed by Hale Irwin, the course is laid across rolling hills laced with meandering streams. The layout requires accuracy with narrow fairways and hard-to-read greens. Water hazards come into play frequently as do trees and bunkers. It is a formidable test for any skill level. Most of the holes have a risk-reward element, making the course more accessible by placing an emphasis on strategy over strength. One of the most memorable holes is the par-5 ninth. It will favor golfers who successfully cut the corner, making it possible to reach the green in two. This tricky hole demands accurate mid-iron play. Quail Creek Golf Club finishes with an interesting par 4 that has water along the left side of both the fairway and green.

It's a good course for what it is. Really tight fairways that punishes wild swings. Greens were in fair condition. Some burned spots but overall an enjoyable round of golf.

Looks good

Course in decent shape. Several improvements made to course in the way of using links like tall grasses and rough. A couple greens had brown patches, but otherwise the fairways, t box, and greens were in good shap. I have always liked the lay out

Horrible ownership and customer service. Do yourself a favor and play somewhere else for an extra $10.

Hale Irwin hasn’t been back and for good reason

Quail Creek was once known as a great and challenging course (early 90’s). I would say at one time it rivaled the current day Tapawingo. Unfortunately the course is now a shell of its former glory- standing water in sand traps, cut trees left to rot lining some fairways, rough cart paths, and a course that appears to be struggling to survive.

Maybe one day we’ll see this course return to what it once was and should be.

Great Layout, Ok condition

You can't beat the value you get for your money at Quail Creek. The layout is great, the course condition is Ok, but the greens were much better this time than they were when I played 3 months ago. I would definitely recommend, we played 18 in 4 hours on a busy day!
