This was the worst course I have ever been to in my whole entire life. Unputtable. Ungolfable. Old and deteriorated. Signs litter the club house which was locked during normal hours stating to call the greens keeper on his cell for service. The course should be shut down until they make the needed corrections. The fairways we're higher than most ruffs on any golf course. I played two holes of golf and lost six balls in the process. The crazy thing is is that I hit all the balls onto the fairway. That's whenever I gave up and wanted to get a refund. when I spoke to the manager he told me that the course had previously been shut down and they are trying to bring customers back after making renovations. The truth is is that they have got their work cut out for them. He told me they have been spending four years trying to revamp. Four years in my opinion is a long time. in any case dont waste your time. I would have given this No stars if the option was available.

Well maintained and friendly staff. Golf carts are nice

The title says it all. East Saint Louis area has been a declining area for the past 20 years and so I was excited to possibly find a hidden gem in it but i was extremely disappointed and only golfed 15 of 18 holes. First, The place looked like it had been ravaged by some kind of fire. Second the greens were unkept and the fairways were more like difficult roughs. The green was worst with a ton of gouges. Third, The guy who ran the course (Or some kind of worker) was behind us giving us pointers because we were beginners taking more strokes than normal and holding up his game but we were trying to have fun. After 6 holes we got kind of discouraged by his constant chirping so we skipped a hole to get away from him. Fourth, The cart was horrendous and would jerk if you held down the gas pedal down. After 9 holes we stopped to eat the only lone hot dog in the stand. we had to share a hot dog! lol. The pros were that the stag was cold as ice and the price to golf was $10 bucks but in reality I had a superior experience 5 miles down the road at another course for the same price. The only way I would go back is if someone paid for me or if I got some coupons for a free golf to try the course again when its in better conditions.
