Our world-class golf course at Pevely Farms, which opened in 1998, was laid out by one of the greatest names in golfing architecture - Arthur Hills, who has created more than 100 courses and renovated dozens more. Among the courses that bear his trademark are Oakmont, famed site of the 1994 U.S. Open; Oakland Hills, site of the 1996 U.S. Open; Bighorn Golf Club, where numerous golfing showdowns have been held; The Golf Club of Georgia, site of the Nationwide senior championship; and the Tournament Players Club at Eagle Trace, site of the PGA Honda Classic.

Pevely Farms, a once-thriving dairy show farm, has been transformed into a world-class golf experience by one of the greatest names in golf course architecture, Arthur Hills. He has delicately sculpted this 18-hole championship golf course into the natural beauty of the Meramec River Valley. For any golfer visiting St. Louis, this is a must-play.

The layout, playing at over 7,100 yards from the championship tees, features manicured zoysia fairways and bent grass greens. Hills' layout will appeal to golfers of all skill levels and will provide an excellent challenge for the scratch golfer as well as pleasure and fun for the occasional player. While many courses have one scenic hole or two, Pevely Farms has one postcard-worthy view after another. From the many challenges in elevation, to the carries over water, to the fir trees and oaks along the fairways, to the breathtaking vistas of the Meramec Valley, every detail of our course stands in harmony with its surroundings.

General Review
Pros: -Interesting layout. Does require a selection of shots.
-Usually in very good shape for the price.

Cons: -Not in the most convienent location.
-Some of the holes are gimmicky, and feel like they were really squeezed into the location.

Overall Thoughts: I'm a fan of Pevely Farms in large part due to the afforability and the upkeep of the course. I would recommend checking it out, but be aware that there are 3 or 4 holes that seem really out of place and simplistic.
What do you usually shoot for 18 holes?: 80-90

General Review
Pros: -layout, 6+ big drive holes, a good number of strategy drives, as well
- great start lines for most tee shots
- tough, longer par 3's
- the wind is always up, creating the necessity to hold the ball against the breeze to keep it in play.

Cons: - course conditioning around prime approach areas
- lack of yardage markers, on course
- practice facilities, huge hill on the driving range, difficult to gauge true yardage during warm up.

Overall Thoughts: Pevely Farms is one of those spots you come back to ever so often because you always know the green complexes will be fast and firm, the bunkering and sand will be consistent and even when you do not core/shoot well you will have fun meandering through the valleys and rolling hills of Western St. Louis County.
What do you usually shoot for 18 holes?: Under 80
