Mid-am qualifier at Whitmoor this year I believe. Would love to get out there for a practice round

22

Thanks man, appreciate the offer. I would love to get out there too. Doesnā€™t look like weather is going to let us anytime soon though?

23

for sureā€¦it can be quirky if your first round is a tournament. Letā€™s set something up in the Spring. We have 36 holesā€¦I imagine the MidAm will be on the South Course.

South course is narrow but fun! Who am I kiddingā€¦ Theyā€™re both fun!

25

Awesome, thanks for the offer, as well!

I played in some tournaments there as a junior, but itā€™s been a long while.

Excited to play it and meet some fellow Refugees!

Looks like the local qualifier is at Winghaven 8/12.

Hello fellow St Louisans, been living here and golfing here for ~8-9 years. Just found this forum and wanted to see what other St Louis golfers were active on here.

Hereā€™s my list of best St Louis (and extended surrounding area) public courses that Iā€™ve played:

  1. Tapawingo
  2. Pevely Farms
  3. Stone Wolf
  4. Annbriar
  5. Gateway
  6. Far Oaks
  7. Forest Park- Red Bud/Dogwood
  8. Acorns

Of course, for most of these places, the conditions and slow play can make the experience great or not so great. Iā€™ve got a regular crew but would love to play with some other St Louis golfers.

Annbriar and Gateway are awful low on that ā€œbest ofā€ listā€¦ lol

Welcome to the Refuge!

We definitely need to plan some NLU-St Louis meetups when the weather turns. I play at Glen Echo and The Legends mostly, so if there is interest there, Iā€™d love to host. There are also some public options I have been wanting to play, mainly Missouri Bluffs.

@slick_willy check out the RACDG thread, too. We will be hosting some regional events that should be a great time.

I used to play in STL all the time. Moved away unfortunately, but am moving back, hopefully, soon.

My favorite public courses were:

  1. Annbriar
  2. Spencer T. Olin (Alton, IL) stop by Fast Eddyā€™s after the round
  3. Aberdeen
  4. Tapawingo
  5. Pevely

Good to see some NLU supporters and knowledgeable golfers in STL. Now that the weather has turned and hopefully the rain has slowed down, who wants to set up a game?

Iā€™d be down. Catching up with this thread, I canā€™t believe the comments on Normandie. I wouldnā€™t recommend that course to my worst enemy.

32

Normandie has great bones. Conditioning leaves a lot to be desired.

33

Maybe I need to play it again (vowed to never play it again last time), but imo it has the bones of an elderly person with osteoporosis.

Take away some trees and grass over most of the bunkers and itā€™s very legit.

Tree removal would be a massive help. I always liked 18.
