Reviewed: Played on:Mar 8, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

Wide variety of fairways with uphill, downhill, backhand and flick shots, several ace runs, beautiful views of the lake in winter from atop the hill. Yellow DiscCatcher pins easy to spot. Way more fun than the old Creve Coeur course. I'm sure I walked at least 3 miles, because it's .9 miles from the parking lot to the basket near Dorsett road,.The course plays in a giant counter-clockwise loop. For a nice detailed description of holes, read Calvinc44's review.

Cons:

Dirt tees, lack of signs and trash cans ( so far). No big deal, and I feel the installation of pads, signs and cans should be postponed. Why? Because this is probably the most dangerous of the 390 courses I've played; this a multi-use park with a zipline,jungle treehouse, ball park, tennis court, mountain bike path winding onto fairways, hole 4 is a throw over the road and the mountain bike path! Hole 8 has tennis courts to the right, and I grip-locked my forehand and it went over the tennis fencing and almost hit a player. It's J.A.M.O.T. (Just A Matter of Time) before someone gets seriously injured, and the Parks department gets sued, and moving and parked cars will get hit, and the course will either need to be totally reconfigured or yanked. My playing partner completely, even more vehemently agreed with me. This is an Obstacle Course for all the non-players to navigate without being hit and hurt, or having their property damaged. The park was very crowded on a Monday afternoon, can't imagine the weekend traffic. Perhaps someone could sell large sheets of Bubble Wrap and helmets at the entrance to the park...

Other Thoughts:

This IS a lovely park. All the holes offer a different feel, and are quite challenging.I really wish I didn't have to say the above in the "CONS" section, because a lot of work went into installing the course, just not a lot of thought into designing it safely. If this course didn't have all the hazards to avoid, I would rate it a solid "4" ! Before you rate this review as helpful or Not, please play the course; you'll see what I mean. This would be a fun Glow Round course when all the 1000's of people leave at dark.
