St. Genevieve Golf Course
Played On 04/08/2024Good Day for Golf and An Eclipse
Drove down from Saint Louis for the eclipse and decided to play golf ahead of it. This was the first time playing the course. The layout was pretty good, however, the greens are very small. The greens had recently been aerated so that affected a number of putts as it was not grown in yet. The staff was friendly, and pace of play was good with a 4-hour round. The total eclipse did not disappoint nor did the course. I would play it again after the greens are back to normal conditions.
Monarch Beach Golf Links
Played On 12/28/2023Very Nice Resort Course
I played this course while on vacation and played with 3 locals. The course was in good shape overall with the greens and bunkers in excellent shape. Most fairways were open and forgiving. The staff was great and super friendly. One disappointment was no driving range and only warmup cages. The course was very pricey but that was expected for such a high priced resort. I enjoyed the company I played with and the course was fun.
The Ocean South at Pelican Hill Golf Club
Played On 12/27/2023Enjoyed Pelican Hill South
I played the course when on vacation. I played with two locals who knew the course. The course was in great shape and the layout was awesome. The signature hole #13 along the ocean was awesome. The fairways were contoured such that most shots slightly off line were funneled back into the fairway. Nice amenities (range, locker rooms, etc) and staff was friendly and helpful. The course is pricey but was more reasonable with a twilight rate. I enjoyed the round.
Paradise Valley Golf & Country Club
Played On 09/30/2023Course in Decent Shape
I played the course for the time in several years. We played the blue blocks which made the course challenging. The greens were in great shape and the fairways were not bad. The cart paths are terrible and need attention/repair. They had a beverage cart but did not have water on the course. They should make people aware of this fact so they can get water at the turn. I do recognize they have made improvements to the course over the last two years but still have a ways to go to compare with other top flight courses in the area. However, for the price they charge for a weekend round, it is a good value.
Talega Golf Club
Played On 08/28/2023Talega is a Fun Course
I played Talega while on vacation however I have played it before. The course was in very good condition. The layout is pretty cool, but it helps to play with a local that knows the course and targets to aim off the tees. We finished the round in 4 hr and 15 mins. Each time I have played Talega it has been a fun experience.
Eagle Glen Golf Club
Played On 08/25/2023Enjoyed Eagle Glen
I played the course for the first time as I was visiting on vacation. The course was in good shape and layout is very nice. The views of the surrounding mountains/hills were awesome. I played with some locals who gave me tips as we played the course. They had two beverage carts who came by three times during the round. Very good course amenities. The only negative was pace of play was slow at 4 hrs and 50 minutes. I enjoyed the course and would play it again.
Gateway National Golf Links
Played On 08/10/2023Gateway in Great Shape
Played on a Thursday and completed round in 4 hrs and 10 minutes. Greens in great shape as were the fairways. They had a drink cart and the young woman driving was pleasant and came by three times during our play on the course. Gateway has always been a top 5 public course in Saint Louis area and it did not disappoint.
Pevely Farms Golf Club
Played On 03/29/2023Good Course
Played on a Wednesday as the weather was awesome. The course was in good condition although the fairways are still dormant. The course was wet so it was cart path only. As a result, the place of play was really slow, a 5 hours & 10 minute round. The driving range was also closed due to the wet conditions. Pevely's layout is good and a fun course to play.
Orchards Golf Course
Played On 02/19/2023Enjoyed the Course
This was my first time playing the course in almost 20 years. Loved the layout. The course was in OK shape considering it was winter. The rate charged for a Sunday was reasonable. The course was cart path only so the round took 5 hours to complete. The staff was great. Amenities were good (driving range, putting green and bar).
Arrowood Golf Course
Played On 01/25/2023Very Nice Course
I played this course for the first time. Considering the recent rains, the course was in good condition. The greens were very fast and rolled true. We played the round in 4.5 hours which was right on pace. The layout was great and hole 16 was cool with the 442 yard par 4 hole downhill to an island green. The rate for the course ($60) was very reasonable. They had a beverage cart, driving range and grill. A great experience and is certainly worthy of playing it again.
Talega Golf Club
Played On 01/23/2023Challenging Course
Considering the recent rain, the course as in decent shape. Greens were fast and rolled true. Couple issues with several bunkers without much sand and some spots in fairways roped off due to rains. The layout is amazing and was very challenging in the high winds. I played with locals who played ready golf and we finished the round in 3.5 hours. I enjoyed the course and will be back.
Meadowlark Golf Course
Played On 01/20/2023Good Muni Course
I played this course for the first time. Recent rains impacted the course such that fairways were soggy resulting in cart path only. This slowed play resulting in a 4 hr and 50 mins round. The greens were in good shape and rolled fast. The staff was friendly and I was paired with some locals who were great to play with. The course just celebrated 100 years and you can see they are doing some work to make upgrades to cart paths. The cost to play was reasonable compared to other courses in SoCal. I did enjoy the round but would likely play other courses in SoCal which are better courses IMO.
Thanks for the 3-star review and kind words about our course. The cart path only restriction certanily slows down play and 4hr 50min is not a pace we hope to acheive during normal conditions. We hope you will come back our for another round once the storms pass.
Stonewolf Golf Club
Played On 02/20/2023Hey, We’re Playing in Winter
Got a 60F+ day in February and took advantage of the opportunity. Stonewolf was in OK shape for winter with some rough spots (ie bunkers/some greens). The course had 90 degree for carts which was nice resulting in a 4.5 hour round. The course rate is very reasonable in winter. The staff was great and range/putting green and bar were all open. Pleasant day and round of golf.
Forest Hill Golf Course
Played On 11/03/2022Fun Course
We played the course on a weekday as part of a golf trip. The layout is awesome. Loved the two short par 4a that challenge you to try to drive the green. The greens were in great shape and some were challenging to putt on. The fairways were a little dry due to the recent drought. The staff was super friendly and the value cannot be beat. I would play this course again and would recommend it.
The Ocean North at Pelican Hill Golf Club
Played On 09/17/2022Nice Course but Expected Bettee
We played this course on a Saturday. The layout and course amenities are excellent. However, the greens and bunkers were not perfect. The greens were full of divots and spike marks that made the greens roll untrue. Expected better from a course at the cost point. Bunkers do not look like they had been groomed that day. Also, the main putting greens was closed so no putting/pitching warm up. Pace of play was slow as we had to wait on the 8th tee box onward. They did not have a marshal keeping play moving. The views from the course was spectacular so it is worth a one time visit. But at the price to play did not correspond to the conditions of the course so I likely would not replay as I can play other courses in SoCal in better condition at a lower price.
Gateway National Golf Links
Played On 08/18/2022Innsbrook Resort Golf Course & Clubhouse
Played On 06/02/2022Enjoyed the Course
Innsbrook was a fun course to play. The course was in good condition and the staff and amenities are excellent. The weather was ideal except some of the fairways were wet from rain two nights prior so it was cart path only. This slowed up play. Also, as it was a weekday, a number of others on the course were singles or pairs and this slowed up play by us allowing these smaller groups to play through. The driving distance from St. Louis (~1 hour) makes venturing to this course less than ideal, but I did enjoy the course and would play it again in the future.
Mystic Oak Golf Course
Played On 05/28/2022Pleasantly Surprised
Played this course for first time. The greens and course were in great shape. The off course facilities were not great. A good value and I would play it again.
Missouri Bluffs Golf Club
Played On 11/16/2021Winter at The Bluffs
We played yesterday at this course which has a nice layout. The course was in good shape. But the course has shifted to winter mode which means all carts stay on paths. This cause pace of play to be rather slow (4 hours, 50 minutes) and added some lengthy walks to hit your next shot. As we finished the round near the end of the day, the clubhouse was closed so we had to go to a nearby bar for a 19th hole.
Pevely Farms Golf Club
