Crescent Farms Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Formerly known as the Players Club at St. Louis, Crescent Farms Golf Club has undergone more than just a name change with a major course renovation that included lengthening the fairways and reconstructing the bentgrass greens. The course has a parkland layout with mature trees lining the fairways and plenty of water coming into play throughout. There are also numerous strategically placed bunkers that appear along the greensides. Golfers will come across several risk-reward opportunities where good course management and accuracy are the key. One of Crescent Farms Golf Clubs toughest holes comes halfway through the golf course. The par-4 ninth hole begins with an intimidating tee shot protected by two fairway bunkers, a hazard to the left, and tall native grasses to the right. The challenges don't end there either, golfers are then faced with a second shot to a heavily bunkered, sloping double-tiered green.

Great layout.
Great course layout. Course rewards good shots with scoring opportunities. Most holes have a bail out side left or right which gives you a side to err on. However they over booked our tee time by letting a group go out that didn’t have a tee time so I felt rushed the entire time which I hate.
Used to be a member when Players Club
i think they’ve done a beautiful job with the main 18 holes, I played. Hard to give 5 stars when playing in the first week of February, but you can tell that’s what it’s going to be.. Zoysia fairways a fantastic upgrade over bermuda.4 level tees on every hole, a great upgrade. The greens yet another upgrade, even the bridges over creeks were nice.The clubhouse was way better than before. Come to think of it, what did the board do with all our dues and assessments?
Not great at all.
Definitely not worth the price. The course is not in condition for the price to play. Not worth it. Also overbooked with no management with regard to tee times. Wouldn’t come back until this is addressed.
Great staff, nice layout, great pace of play first thing in the morning
The staff is very welcoming and friendly! The layout is nice and can be demand if you play the wrong tees. The greens are big and very receptive of approach shot. It is the end of July and the greens may be a little slow to some, but that is because the staff is ensuring that the greens don't burn up and die in this heat. I enjoyed my round and would come back if I'm in town again.
A Windy day of golf
The course was dry but was cart path only which distracted from our pleasure.
Make sure there are no weddings
Terrible course management. They set me off on hole ten. After playing one hole, the marshal let me know that there was a wedding occurring on hole sixteen. So it was nice to get out and play five holes of golf on a beautiful Saturday. The marshal and clubhouse also allowed at least four groups to tee off after me, so all of them almost certainly ran into the same wedding.
The Best of The Lake Package
