Excellent variety as far as wooded and open holes. Nice concrete tee pads from the red tees. Great course for beginners as well as advanced players. Nice tee signs.

Can be difficult to follow at times--longer walks from hole 12 to 13 and from hole 13 to 14. White and blue tees difficult to locate unless you hook up with a local.

Busy course when weather is nice. Alternate pin placements would add to the experience.

I love the woods...and this course has lots of woods...and a long arm isn't needed from the concrete pads...nice pads and baskets, plus a practice basket...there are several good ace runs, but those same holes quickly turn into boges and doubles if you hit a tree...first 3 holes are basically open, then you get into the trees, open to trees and trees to open on the next 7 or so...hole 10 & 11 are my favorite on the course, if i remember correctly it's 10 that is kind of a hilltop to hilltop with a severe chasm in between, and then 11 is a nice little downhill ace run with the putter...12 is back up a hill with a little Anny on it...last 5 holes are playing basically in the open, but are surrounded by trees...it's a really nice park with really nice amenities, bathrooms throughout, walking path, and playground for the kids, plus some nice pavilions...

pro tees aren't marked really well...it's a long walk from 12 to 13 or 13 to 14, i can't remember the numbering, and then once done with 18 you kinda have to walk back through the 13 or 14 fairway to get back to the parking lot...

this is my favorite course in the STL area...although Sioux Passage and Endicott are a close second, this course mixes the best from both those courses...the park is a super nice park that has gotten more and more popular as the area populates, there's a dog park there, and some nice walking trails too...keep an eye out for walkers and for park rangers...i was warned by a ranger for having my dog off leash, it was just a warning but if it happened a second time I would have gotten a 100 dollar fine and been banned from the park for 1 year, how they enforce that i don't know...but keep an eye out for the ranger, they're out there...
