Creve Coeur

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 12, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

-- Excellent use of land. There is no water and the elevation isn't huge, but it's well used as are the trees.
-- Port-o-potty.
-- Distance variation isn't great (187-319, not counting the long tee on 8), but the longer holes (4 and 6) tend to throw uphill and the shorter holes (7) tend to throw downhill.
-- No. 5 is probably the signature hole: 291 feet downhill; it's mostly open for the first 240 feet before you need to a hit a 15-20 foot wide gap in the bushes to reach the basket. No. 7 (214 feet) can play as an island hole. Hole 8 is tucked into the woods with an elevated pin with a drop-off behind the basket.
-- Excellent concrete tee pads; they are a little narrow but plenty long.
-- Excellent baskets.
-- Tee signs are adequate with hole number, distance and a basic map.
-- No filler holes.
-- Water (spigot).

Cons:

-- No map on site.
-- Limited shade.
-- No. 1 plays alongside a street (residential, so not a lot of traffic), so throwing into the road is a definite possibility.
-- No seating at tee pads. Not a big problem at a 9-hole course.

Other Thoughts:

-- Not a lot of cons for this 3-disc course. It's good (not great), but it lacks distance, water and amenities that could make it a 4-disc course.
-- Course flow is mostly good, but finding 2 can be a challenge: You can see the 4 basket and 5 tee pad and sign. You have to walk past the 5 pad, and 2 is tucked into the tree line on the left. Also, on 9, the basket you see in front of you is No. 5. It would be a great hole (about 390 feet slightly uphill with a low ceiling. Instead, you are playing to a basket on the right, in the trees.
-- The community center does not appear to have regular hours. It appears to be more of a "reserve for special occasions" building.
-- There are other recreational activities on site (a half basketball court and a horseshoe pit), but those don't really interfere with the disc golf.
-- A nice covered pavilion with numerous picnic tables is near the parking lot.
-- The alternate tee on 8 (417 feet) offers the only hole longer than 320 feet.

Great, Simple Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 26, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course was easy to follow and well laid out. The variety of shots was great with both longer drives and some shorter technical shots. The elevated basket was a nice plus!

Cons:

The course is very simple and doesn't have any "iconic" holes. Pretty simple, city park style course.

Other Thoughts:

Although this course is small and not very "memorable," the great signage, scenery, and elevation changes make this hole a fun one!

Unusually Good Nine, but how do you pronounce Coeur? 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 20, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Creve Couer is a really good nine hole course design where you'd least expect it. Boasting large, level, landscaped concrete tee pads, a bench on every hole, next tee signs where needed, informative tee signage and new DisCatcher baskets, this course has distances ranging from about 200 feet (on the 'Stonehenge' ace run 7th) to nearly 400 feet (playing the longer tee on 8).

Did I mention that hole 8 plays to an elevated basket position with a steep drop to the creekbed ravine just beyond? Fortunately, first timers knew that going in because they've already been down there to play the gap-running dogleg left on hole 3 (which seems to play a bit longer than 256').

The course packs in a great deal of variety in a few short holes, and is a fun challenge for casual through intermediate skill levels.

Cons:

They only had room for nine holes, but made the best of them. Big arms who like to show 'em off won't get much chance to do that here. The course slightly favors RHBH throwers (OK with me, but it's obvious to mention it). Finally, the finishing hole is a little bit of a letdown after the really well done 8th.

Other Thoughts:

There was a large group of friendly locals we chatted with (Hi!), so the vibe feels right here. Finally, no Tracy, we're not stalking you: just happened to be the closest course to our hotel and we had an afternoon tourney round to get loose for!

I Agree With ElementZ ! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 12, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

I'm sold on this little course. How I would love to have Creve Coeur as my home course. I think it has three and maybe four really, outstanding holes. The park is not big. It looks like maybe three city blocks around. The course starts right by the parking lot and a picnic shelter. The course has nice concrete tee pads. The tee signs have the usual info on one side (hole #, par and distance) along with a hole sponsor. The other side of the signs have the hole # in big readable letters which helped with navigation. Not that it was hard to navigate here. The baskets are yellow Discatchers with the yellow bands and numbers on them. On the ground beneath the baskets are patio blocks set that point to the next tee pad. There are benches at each hole.

I think # 3 is the signature hole on this course. It's 256', slightly downhill to a thick grove of trees and bushes sitting a small gully. There is a tiny window, maybe 6 foot wide, in the grove. The basket sits on the far side of the grove. I doubt that many players ever hit that window but it's there and everyone will be going for it.

Holes # 2 and # 5 are both similar to # 3. They both are downhill throws where you have to hit the window in order to have a chance at the birdie.

# 9 is another hole I really liked. It's just a simple little anhyser toss through the woods but I liked it.

# 7 should be called Stonehenge. The short 214' downhill throw is to a basket surrounding by landscaping rocks. Hence the name Stonehenge. This hole could really be improved if they would add one taller stone, like a pillar maybe 6-8' tall. Put it right in the line of a RHBH. A tall well placed rock could add about a 1/2 stroke to this hole.


Cons:

I wish # 6, the raised basket, was utilized instead for # 9.

Only 9 holes.

Not much I can come up with.

Other Thoughts:

Reviewer ElementZ, who loves this course, puts it in the top 5-10 courses in Illinois. Heck, I would place it in the top 5-10 nine hole courses I've played anywhere! Creve Coeur is truly a great play. I highly recommend a trip here.
