Directions:
I-55 to exit 150; east on Hwy 32 (becomes 4th St., then White Sands Rd.) through Ste Genevieve to a right into the park. 1st tee across from the 1st pavilion on left, across from nursing home.
This course is a challenge because of the hills, the tee pads, and the basket design. The hills will take a lot out of a player, and will "Water Works" an errant throw. The tee pads are grass, and some of the tee signs are badly placed. The baskets, made locally, have much smaller chain coverage and a bowled basket.
But, the course has water, woods, roads and other OB, and makes good use of the land in the park. Some holes play much longer than the distance, some much shorter. #7 in particular is a tough uphill. The baskets are not helpful to even slightly off-line putts, but that should help your short game.
As of 8/14/12, holes 1,2,6,7, and 8 have been moved. Please check the map on the website.
