The layout is nice for a course the is on flat terrain. It was in good condition. The pace of play was poor. A twosome backed up a foursome, a twosome, and another foursome on one tee box. At the turn the two other golfers we were paired with stopped for some food. Ten minutes later they still didn't have their food yet.

This is a great course out in the country that I found while traveling through the St Louis area. It is a very well designed course that is fun to play. It is difinitely worth the drive.

Quite a few holes have blind shots. Greens roll nice if you get a line without any divots. No one repairs their ball marks. Difficult course for beginners. One par four is a 200 yard uphill shot and then a 100 yard carry over water. The 18th is a par five that is a 250 yard uphill shot that was playing into a 15 mph wind. Then you have a 75 foot drop off over water with a 100 to 125 yard carry. Your second shot will be a long carry or try to layup to the 15 yard wide plateau without going long. I paid $10 on a hot deal and felt I paid too much.

Front nine is cut through the woods and a beautiful setting. Back nine is open. Greens are in great shape. Fairways were in good shape except for a couple due to the heavy rain they had a few days before.

The course is in great condition, both fairways and greens. It is a fun course to play. The only drawback was the pace of play. The wind makes the course play long for short hitters. Saw several groups not playing ready golf. No marshalls to keep pace moving. Five hour round on a weekday when the course wasn't packed. I would still highly recommend playing the course if you can.

I was enjoying the round until the final three holes. The pace of play was good. Then the twosome in front of me became a foursome. Someone had to leave fora business call and they retuned. It took over 45 minutes to play the final three holes. A par 3 and two par 4's. A group of four two groups ahead of me took at least 15 minutes on a tee box while they talked to the beer cart girl. By the time they left the tee box, nobody was ahead of them on the par 4. This totally ruined what was relaxing round.
