Sugar Creek Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Sugar Creek Golf Course offers some of the best scenery of any course in the St. Louis area. Golfers can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside from the course's elevated tees. The course opened in 1990 with several improvements made in the following years. The layout is a manageable length at just under 6,100 yards. It is player-friendly enough for beginners to approach with confidence but there are also challenges in store for more advanced players. Water only comes into play on one hole but there are stands of trees lining the narrow fairways. The golf course will generously reward accuracy and good strategy though it is not overly punishing if you are slightly errant. In addition to the course, Sugar Creek G.C. also boasts an expansive practice range with 35 hitting stations.

Beautiful Course
This course is great for golfers of all levels. The amount of care and work the staff put into this course really shows. One of the most friendly staffs I have ever came across. Will absolutely be back. I would give my experience six stars out of five if I could!

Great first time at Sugar Creek
Solid course and pace of play was tough on a busy day but the greens were in solid shape and I only had to drop balls 3 times
Thank you for leaving a review of your recent experience at our course. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the course and that the greens were in great condition. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the busy day and we appreciate your understanding.
A lot of unrealized potential
Three stand-outs:
Pace of play was slowest I have ever encountered - nearly 5.5 hours to finish on a Sunday afternoon.
Multiple times 2 groups waiting on tees.
Second, the the tee boxes were the worst I have encountered on any course (public of private). No grass and hard as concrete. Gave up trying to put a tee peg in several times.
Third - the cart paths are in dire need of repair apart from only a few places where asphalt has recently been replaced. A bone-shaking ride.
It’s a shame because the course is pretty and a good challenge (tight/blind fairway shots). Has a lot of potential. The staff were also very friendly.

Greens are like shag carpet
Can’t get myself to hit a put hard enough. I get trying to protect the greens, but for f sake cut them once in a while. Makes playing miserable especially for a 5+ hour round.

We hosted an afternoon party in the clubhouse. Everything was absolutely perfect! The setting is gorgeous & the staff could not have been any nicer!
Definitely consider Sugar Creek for your event

Vastly Improved!
Played this course two years ago just as it went under new management. The commitment to improvement is clearly evident. In a couple more years this could be one of the hidden gems in the area. The layout reminds me of courses at the lake of the Ozarks though narrower and shorter. I don’t like the par 3 uphill hole - too gimmicky. Otherwise I found the holes mostly memorable which to me is a key to a nice layout.

What a difference
It's amazing what new ownership and some fantastic groundskeepers can do to turn a course around. I used to golf this course years ago and quit playing here because it was just in terrible shape. Now the fairways and greens are looking outstanding and should prove to be one of the best looking courses to play this summer.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Sugar Creek Golf Course.

First Class All The Way
Weather has finally gotten nice enough in the Midwest to get outside and play some golf so my brother and I decided to play a course we had never played before…Sugar Creek. We were beyond impressed to say the least. We have played all around the country and Sugar Creek is up there with the best of them. From the grounds to the friendly staff, Sugar Creek is a first class club all the way.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Sugar Creek Golf Course.
Like a new course
First time playing in a couple of years. Couldn’t have been more impressed in the upgrades they have instituted. I will definitely be going back, often.

Nice improvements
Looks like theyre putting money into this course, summer should be in good condition. Just wish they were better organized, we were a twosome and 3 older people just pulled up in front of us while we were waiting, and said they had to start on the 6th hole because of frost, couldve let us go, no etiquette, on top of that they were slow. We skipped 1st hole and it was fine after that. Would be good to have a starter just so it doesnt get out of hand.

Much improvement
Course was in terrible shape a few years back, but they have obviously spent lots of money on it recently. The front nine's layout is odd, at best, but the back nine is championship level, especially 12 thru 18. Overall the course still needs some work as the turf isn't as full as it could be, getting a good lie on the fairway is rare. The greens have some dead spots, and the tee boxes need a ton of work. As hard as they seem to be working at this time, I'm sure these issues will be handled in the near future. The folks who work there are very nice and seem to love the job, lots of smiles. I'm looking forward to going back and enjoying the round at a much improved golf course!
