Lake Forest Country Club is a beautiful country club in Lake St. Louis. The course is well manicured and is in wonderful condition. It was designed by renowned local architect Gary Kern and opened for play in 1985. If you are not hitting straight, you will undoubtedly find trouble in the form of 35 year old trees, very large sand traps a little smaller than the Mohave Desert protecting the wide and plush zoysia fairways and greens, lakes, creeks, OB, etc. If you are hitting reasonably straight you will have some success because all of the grasses are in excellent condition and you will have consistent lies. 3-putts will regrettably be common on the LFCC greens because some are very large, measuring up to 120 feet wide, with medium complexity and are pretty slick. On the day we played they were running at about a 10. Also, like many top-tier clubs, Lake Forest accentuates the course with many plants, flowers, natural grasses and landscaping. The club is also reasonably priced for a private club. If you live in the Lake St. Louis area and are looking for a golf, tennis, pickle ball and swimming home you need to visit the club.
