What are the best courses in the area for a short armed guy lol?
I don't live in St.Louis, and not familiar with all of them, but played quite a few.
As a noodle arm myself, I can say:
Quail Ridge was a lot of fun
Same for Jefferson Barracks, original.
Also enjoyed Indian Camp Creek.
Not a fan of Wilmore.
There's a good amount of options for shorter driving folks.
White Birch: Super short old school course.
Quail Ridge: Short and mostly wooded. My personal favorite in the area.
Jefferson Barracks: I agree with Bogey, super fun and not too long. If courses in the area had a captain it would be this course. The Bunker is next door but is longer and more challenging.
Indian Camp Creek has some longer holes but I believe the pars are forgiving, especially from the short tees.
Willmore: The most played course in St. Louis, but is hit an miss in quality and popularity. It's location is a big factor in how many people play it. Whether the grass is mowed or not can really impact enjoyment.
Hudson Park: Another short wooded course.
Woodland Chains: On Illinois side and doesn't play too long.
Unger: Mostly wooded or tight fairway shots that are pretty short except for 7 and 9.
Wilson: A brand new course on Illinois side that plays short. I'm pretty intermediate and shot a -7 on my first round there. Really nice park.
Fort Zumwalt: I don't remember too many long holes. Mix of open and woods. Not a favorite of mine - Not much of a fan personally.
New Melle and La Vista are the two best courses in the St. Louis area overall (I consider Eagle's Crossing to be outside the area). La Vista plays pretty short overall from the red tees, and I didn't find the white tees to be too difficult distance wise. I believe New Melle plays a little longer and has a lot of distance variety pin-side, but also has short tees.
