Florissant Golf Club

I enjoyed this course, it was a great value and I will be back. It's an old country club course from the 60s that's 6500 yards from the tips. It's now owned by the city. Conditions are great 9/26. Fairways are wide, rough is short, bunkers are nicely maintained but infrequent. It's an easier play, but the holes run up and down the hills which makes it interesting. There are a couple tee shots at the top of a hill which are nice. Rates are good. Fairways are lined by homes but set way back, never noticeable. Fairways and greens were firm Some holes I liked: Hole 6 blind drive par four that crests hill to a green below. Hole 12 long uphill par five with a raised green at the top. 16 another par five with a blind tee shot 18 par four with green perched on top of steep hill.

This place was not great. Tee boxes and fairways hard as a rock. Greens were long and very slow. Course layout is one of the worst I’ve ever played on. The rough had not been cut and was very long. Good luck finding your ball if you are not on fairway. Damn near impossible with the high grass. Cart paths need attention. A lot of not great areas on the course. The best thing was the fairways, they were cut and a little thin but okay. Would never play here again. $41 seems high for this place.

Called last week and made a tee time for today 10/14 at 11:30am and gave them all the info they requested. Arrived today at 11:15am and found the course closed and no one at the course. Would have been nice to receive a call, text or email notifying me of the closure. One of our group drove 1:20 and I drove 1:00 hour to get to the course. Thankfully other courses were open despite the earlier rain and we played elsewhere.

A great golf course isn’t just measured by the condition of its greens—it’s measured by how it makes you want to come back. This club strikes that balance exceptionally well. Every hole feels intentional, rewarding good decisions more than perfect shots, which makes each round engaging regardless of your handicap. The course is consistently well maintained without feeling overly manufactured, and the pace and atmosphere allow you to appreciate the game the way it was meant to be played. The staff understands that hospitality is part of the experience, not just a service, and it shows in every interaction. It’s the kind of place that reminds you golf is as much about patience, strategy, and enjoying the company you’re with as it is about the scorecard.

A great partner to the golfers and neighbors in Florissant.
