My dad was in from North Dakota, so the fact the temp was in the low 30’s on the first tee box wasn’t going to stop us from playing. I did come prepared with a cart cover and little heater so it wasn’t bad at all, and we played all 18 without any complaints about the cold. For winter conditions the course wasn’t in bad shape at all. The greens and fairways have come a long way since last year, butI hope the cart paths are on the to do list because they are getting pretty rough. We had a great round and I think we were the only two golfers around for the time we were there.

We played on a warm day in January. It had just rained the night before. The course was a bit wet but played very well. The greens rolled nice and appeared to be in good shape for the most part especially for January. I am looking forward to coming back once things green up this spring and see what the course really plays like.

We had the course to ourselves which was surprising being the temp was in the 40' with very little wind and some sunshine. The staff was professional and friendly. We didn't set any course records for score, but probably came close to the fastest round record. I'm looking forward to coming back this spring and playing this great layout again.

I had a great round of golf at the Acorns even though it was about 40 degrees and windy. The girl working inside was very professional and the price was rock bottom thanks to a GolfNow hot deal. The greens rolled very well for February in central IL and the fairways were in good shape as well. I'm looking forward to playing this course again in the spring.

Quail Creek is as good of a laid out course in the Saint Louis area I have found. I am glad to see that they are cutting trees and making an effort to improve the course this winter. With the huge dead spots on nearly every green and the poor shape the tees are in, they have their work cut out for them. Hopefully Quail becomes more competitive in price and quality of course soon. This course has enormous potential and I hope their efforts to fix it go well.

Getting to play Gateway National for $20 dollars and some change was well worth it being the course is in great condition for February in IL. Obviously the condition of the greens and fairways are not perfect this time of year, but this course more than makes up for it with it's amazing layout. Also the staff was very helpful and professional which is what you'd expect from a top notch course like Gateway. Can't wait to come back and play this spring.
