Great Course but slooow!

As always at Forest Park, course in great shape, but super slow play because everyone flocks there when it’s 60 degrees in November in the STL! And of course, like every course in this area, no one knows how to use a divot tool to fix a ballmark.

SLOOOOOW play in November!

Course is great, in great condition for November. The biggest drawback continues to be slooooow play! It has been that way every round this year at Stonewolf, no rangers anywhere, always a foursome Lollygagging in front of you, never letting anyone through. Todays group was 4 geriatrics dressed liked they were on an arctic expedition, and played slower than molasses in January, playing for pink slips. Mind you this is a Tuesday afternoon 4 hours to get it done, what is a Saturday like, ooofff!

Burning Tree

Nice course, waaaay too crowded for a Wednesday. Only able to get 9 holes in, after having to skip two holes due to a tree on fire! There was a log jam on number 4 of Dogwood of about a dozen people. At least we got a rain check for 9 holes.

Bad shape

It’s Late September and the course continues to recover from spring flooding/heavy rains?! Many dead areas in fairways, the back nine is in slightly better shape. Definitely not worth more than a day of or before hot deal, don’t even think about paying weekend rates! Most greens had been aerated today, so putting was a waste of time.

Pretty Good

The STL golf snobs May turn their noses up at a par 3 course, but for 10 bucks as a hot deal it’s pretty darn good! Greens are in very good shape, puts to shame some of the big dollar courses in the area, and get this Metro Least bumpkins: ball marks repaired here! Nice little place to hone your short game. Only draw back are the tee boxes in desperate need of water, bring a hammer and nail to get a broken tee in.

Nothing to write home about, crabgrass infested tee boxes, long fairways in need of a mow. Greens in pretty good shape, rolling true and holding shots. Overall not bad for a hot deal definitely not worth full price.

Overall decent course, but another Metro Least course with greens that look like moonscapes! When will the STL bumpkin learn to repair their ball marks?

Course was in fairly decent shape, except for the crabgrass, must be infesting 80% of the greens. 3rd time playing here, second time the same dufus on the hi speed mower shadowed us! Cmon man! Give us some space!

Great Course

Wonderful course, well maintained, but like most courses in the area STL bumpkins that don’t repair ball marks and their beaver pelt divots, it can look like your standard Normandie muni! C’mon people! Pace of play was really poor for a Wednesday, our twosome smoked thru the back nine (started on 10 today) in about an hour and ten, only to crawl thru the front 9 in 3 hours, ugh!! Besides that, beautiful place, keep up the good work!

Retry darn good

Not sure what that other review was all about, this course is not that bad! Fairways are in decent shape greens very soft and holding just a little bit fuzzy. I just wish that golf now when describing the course would also list the days of league play, but I guess if you do your homework and look on the Internet at the courses website, you can find that out and not show up in the middle of a two-man scramble! We will be back, this course is in really good shape.

Great Course

Probably the best course in Southern Illinois! In phenomenal shape, best fairways I have seen this year. Layout is great, can’t wait to come back. Only drawback, and it’s not their fault per se, are the amount of unrepaired ball marks! C’mon people! It’s common practice, this is not your muni dumpy course, take care of your messes!

Not too bad, not that great. Fairways very thin, still looks like March. Super slow play especially for a Tuesday at noon. Stuck behind a 3 some of hackers, with a 4 some of octogenarians in front of them. The one ranger I saw couldn’t be bothered, parked under a shade tree talking on his phone! But the price was great on Golfnow.

Great course, greens in great shape. Only downside was the bumpkin in a Blows sweater mowing on every hole, don’t know if it is Mow Monday or what, but really annoying with this clown with us on 18 of 18 holes.

Brian in the pro shop was most helpful. Greens on this course are outstanding, definitely the best in the area. Our rough wet spring is still affecting every course, this one too. Cart path only makes for a long day, and super sloppy, lift, clean, and place even in the fairway.
