Absolutely fantastic, I put it just behind Annbriar, Difficulty is on Par with Annbriar, but obviously not the Fairway condotion and green conditions and type. Great Clubhouse, restaurant was closed, and this is my only pet peave, they had premade sandwiches that were dry, worth about 1.00 in food cost and they charged 7.50, come on people I had a barbecue sandwich at Tapawingo that was so big I couldn't finish it for 8.50.

One of the best public courses in the St. Louis area, Crystal Highlands was stuck in purgatory as a Union Pacific executive retreat for nearly 20 years... but it's *finally* been sold by UP and reopened to the public by its new owners. These owners inherited a gem of a course in absolutely excellent condition as of early August 2021 thanks to very little play over the past few years. It's a bit out of the way, but well worth the drive.

This is a beautiful golf course with rolling hills and scenic views. The grounds are very well-kept, with pristine greens. Difficulty is moderate to somewhat challenging. There is also a nice driving range right by the clubhouse. I like to warm up by hitting a few balls there before playing. I've played many courses in the St. Louis area, and this may be the nicest around. I highly recommend this course.

Course is in great shape (especially for winter golf), personell are friendly, price is comparable, and Bistro has a variety of delicious foods.

I don’t know if it was just the pin placement the last time I played, but the greens were challenging at best, impossible at worst. Expect to three putt more than usual. That being said, the course is beautiful and well maintained. Staff is great.
