The layout of this course is wonderful (although 9 and 11 are a little quirky). The greens are slow but roll very true and they are receptive to a good shot. The pace of play was great. However, the fairways are horrible. Several times, I had difficulty finding my ball on the fairway. I am not from the St. Louis area and made my decision to play here based on several (I feel, inaccurate) Golfnow reviews. Except for the greens, the course conditions are fair at best. This course has the potential to be a fantastic golf course if the fairways were improved. I hate to be critical, but I want to be fair to my fellow Golfnow users.

We played on a warm and windy Friday (2/16/18). Course conditions were reflective of the mid-winter time frame and some recent rain. The fairways were quite damp. As you would expect, it was cart path only. The condition of the greens was very acceptable. And the traps were well maintained. We played the front nine in 2:20 (okay considering cart path only). However, on the back nine, two new groups were put out in front of us. This slowed down play considerably. We played 7 holes in 2:20. Because of our own personal time commitments, we chose to leave. All things considered, I would play this course again. My guess is that in 3 to 4 weeks the course will be in outstanding condition.

As stated in other reviews, two distinctly different 9's. The Donald Ross front 9 is old school design and very straight forward. Having the opportunity to play this 9 is worth the price of admission alone. The back 9 has a couple of "different" type holes (10 & 11). It is very hilly. Also there are a couple of holes where you must be aware of oncoming traffic before you hit your tee shot. But all in all not a bad layout. The course conditions were fine. The greens rolled true and the fairways were a little sparse, but okay. The staff was very nice. If you are looking to experience a bit of golf history, I do recommend this course. For the price, you really can't go wrong.

This golf course is nice layout. Very straightforward. The course conditions were good. The pace of play was excellent on a Saturday afternoon. My wife and I played in 3 hours and 20 minutes. I would recommend this course.

I played Azelea and Magnolia. Azalea was in very good shape. Fairways greens and tee boxes were very nice. We were a twosome. The foursome in front of us let us play through. We breezed along. Our back nine was Magnolia. This nine has a few minor issues with crabgrass. Still not bad. Play was a little slower. But we finished 18 holes in just over 4 hours. All in all, it was a pleasant experience. I recommend this course.

The course was in great shape. Greens were fast and rolling true. We played in about four hours. Some tees were a little hard. But overall it was a great round of golf

The course played firm and fast. The fairways haven't quite come in. But the greens are in good shape. You get a true roll. The practice area is better than average. The staff that I dealt with were very friendly and accomodating. An excellent value for the money spent.
