Always in Tip-Top shape

I always look forward to playing rounds at Gateway National. The greens and fairways are ALWAYS some of the best around the STL area.

Completely Soaked

The course was practically underwater! Hard to find a dry spot to advance your ball on your next shot. Greens rolled ok but pretty slow because of the moisture in them.
Needs a good 7-10 days of dry weather to completely dry out.

Getting better but a ways to go and still too pricy

Gave this track a try again today even though I said I would never play this course again because it has been in really bad shape for the last 2-3 years.
Must say I was impressed with the progress they have made. The greens rolled really good and the fairways have definitely improved. Still need to work on the tee boxes. Feel like your hitting out of the rough because they still do not mow them down very short and it is hard to find a level lie on some.

Greens are almost completely overtaken by some fungus

It hurts me to say such harsh things about this course because I have always loved the layout. But the greens are simply unplayable! Bunkers are hit and miss but majority of them are rock hard and have no sand. Fairways are actually pretty nice; but some of the tee boxes have almost no grass. Talked to management afterwards and they said they just hired a new superintendent so let’s hope for some vast improvements quick!

Randy,

Thank you for playing, and leaving a comment. We did just recently hire a new superintendent. We are working through some issues still left behind from the former superintendent. We are working hard at making the playing conditions at our course great for all of our guests. We hope that you will come back and see us again in the future.

One Word...AWESOME!!!!

I have been hearing about this course for the last year and finally made the time to make the trip down there from STL and let me tell you, well worth the drive! The course is challenging but fair and was in great shape, even though the greens were aerated the week prior, they still rolled very true! I love the scenery and some of the holes are absolutely beautiful!
Will definitely make it back there again!

Very good bang for your buck

Really enjoyed playing this course. A lot of holes where water comes into play starting with #1. Fairways were really nice and greens rolled true and at a good speed.

Unbelievable, best course in the area!!!!

Golf now hot deals pretty much dictates where my buddies and I will be playing. This course is by far the best course in the area. The progressive tee boxes give players at every level a great challenge. I was completely surprised at how dry and maintained the course was with the amount of rainfall we have received. WILL DEFINITELY RETURN...and maybe play from the tips next time!!!

Good value

This course is a really great layout witha ton of risk reward holes. A course that had a lot of character with rolling fairways and beautiful views.

Short but Very Narrow

Front 9 was very narrow and tight; a real shotmaker's 9; and the back 9 opened up quite a bit. Some of the fastest greens I have played in a long long time!
