Solid StL course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 26, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Every type of hole you could want exists on this course. Tight line wooded holes, wide open bombs, short skip shots, sweeping downhill shots, water shots, etc.

Right now hole 3 and 4 are somewhat overrun with water, but we just picked a decent spot to tee off and hole 4 is actually really fun with a sort of island pin surrounded by the current standing water.

The holes are for the most part secluded from the rest of the park, save a few out in the open, but the don't interfere with major features except potentially people fishing.

The entire course is well manicured and signed, as long as you get a map to direct you across some of the awkward transitions from hole to hole it's relatively painless.

Cons:

Current wet conditions make 3 a lot tougher than normal, and the pad for four is entirely underwater.

Other Thoughts:

If you are in the area this is the course to play. I played 5 other courses in the area (Jefferson Barracks, Crystal City, Endicott, and Logan) and this was my favorite of those top rated contenders.

My first real course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 27, 2010 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Varied terrain Hills, woods, open field, water hazards, etc

Nice park overall.. has restroom facilities.

Cons:

Muddy after a rain in the lower fields, rickety walk-way made with wooden pallets that tend to break when you walk on them- be careful! Nice thought though, keeps us out of the mud!

Other Thoughts:

My nearest 18 hole course, and I feel fortunate because it's such a varied course.

Pros:

everthing that makes a course great,elevation changes, wind, open fairways, wooded shots, a couple ace runs, very long par 5s , water hazards,concrete pads, signs, dave macs true masterpiece

Cons:

not enough bathrooms , WARNING this park eats discs

Other Thoughts:

this course has come a long way from its start, it now has concrete pads thanks to the jc sharpshooters, hole 12 is known as the snowman by locals for the eights that can easily be writtin on your card! some more bathrooms and this course would be perfect for a large a tier event best course in st.louis area
