Comments
We had a permanent tee time for the first couple of years Quail Creek Golf Club was open. That was over 30 years ago and, obviously, the course has matured quite a bit. There are 5 tees so players at every level will be able to find an appropriate distance. Number 15 has got to be one of the hardest holes in St. Louis. It is a long par 4 that doglegs left around a thick wooded area with the second approach shot over a wide and deep creek to a tiered green. People inevitably try to cut across the dogleg only to lose their ball. If you can’t draw your ball around the dogleg you will likely end up in the adjacent fairway. Quail Creek continues to be one of my favorite public courses in St. Louis. Some of the holes are quite challenging but the I always have a good time when I play here.
I enjoyed reading your reviews. One suggestion is to list the date you played the course. For example, your review for Quail Creek was accurate for 10 years ago. I quit playing Quail Creek over 5 years ago because the course was not being maintained. The course is only a few miles from my house, so I used to play it atleast once a week. Recently the course reopened under new management because the old management group walked away from the course last year. I played 9 holes there last week. The new management is making progress. The fairways & greens are in relatively good shape given the hot summer. The traps are unplayable now pending planned improvements.
