Normandie Golf Course

Too many things to list, but don’t waste your money here.

Course is in terrible condition has been for about three years now

The course was in pretty good shape but the staff was exceptional. Pat went above and beyond to ensure we got out after a big event. The tee times were backed up but he managed the situation very well and we ended up being the first group out and finished in 2 1/2 hours. If all golf courses had a Pat taking that kind of personal interest in their patrons it would make for a better golf experience!

Loved the course layout. Pretty long front nine. Rained hard. Course unplayable. Tried to get a rain check on rained out back nine. Pro shop said i could get a nine hole refund through Golf Now. I tried but pretty much impossible. No way to contact Golf Now. Course got my money, it would have been nice if they would have given me a nine hole rain check, or something. Frustrated.

A little slow on pace of play on front 9 due to holiday and 2 foursomes holding pace up, rangers did a good job speeding pace up, 3 hrs front 2 hrs on back A lot of blind shots but overall a very interesting course and will play again

Normandie has “good bones” as a friend put it. But currently it is not being well taken care of.
Long grass just off the fairway made for numerous lost balls. Cart paths condition is so bad that you are are more safely advised to avoid them. Groups were randomly started on 1 and 10 leading to long waits for the back nine. Fairways had large areas of just dirt. Sand bunkers had little or no sand.
It was a poor experience on what could be a fun layout.

Course was in terrible shape. Fairways we 30% bare, traps were hard and crusty, tee boxes were hard as a rock and in poor condition. Greens were in pretty good shape. Pace of play was very slow. I would not recommend this course for snyone.

Cheapest round of the year with hot deal $10 so any course is worth that wouldn’t pay much more. Greens were terrible rough was knee high in some spots. A lot of rain so will give it another shot when everything dries out. For the value can’t beat it but wouldn’t pay more than $20

Awful paid for 18, finished 9 at 3+!hours, gave up. Bad tee boxes, mud galore, bugs, rotten drainage etc... SLOW,

The staff was great - kind and helpful! I enjoyed the course layout - it forces golferse to think about different length and types of golf shots.
On the other hand, the condition of the course was quite poor. Staff and maintenance have their work cut out for them. Washed out area due to the rain. Fairways are struggling. Bunkers are rock solid. Greens are okay. It was difficult to enjoy the different style of holes due to the conditions of the course.

This course is a joke. The fairways were dirt or extremely patchy grass. The rough was extremely inconsistent and the greens were covered in crap. Save your money and go elsewhere

You can tell that the course has a lot of history but lacks the funds to give it a nice upgrade. Very wet not the courses fault but very messy.. it looks like they just shut it down then opened it up. No clean up from a long winter.

Here’s the deal: I never review stuff. Golf courses, auto shops, restaurants. Hasn’t been for me. I use reviews. I’m just a jackhole and don’t pay it back. Here’s the payback: this course is the best publicly-accessible layout in St. Louis. It has character. It has great long holes. It has great short holes. Half-pars? Try the par 3.5, 250 yard 18th. Try carrying the burn with a long iron on the approach to the 10th—a true par 4.5. The short par 4s are gorgeous. The long par 5s are stern and smiling. The par 3s are healthy, unique, and exciting. These are world class golf holes. So many of them are. This course has terrain. It has true hazards (looking straight at all the people complaining about the bunkers: don’t hit it there). It is thoroughly fair, and the best example of strategic design I’ve found in the St. Louis area. Every hole on the back nine is a gem—like, wow, what a golf hole. The green complexes are elegant and riveting—and delightfully quick. And it’s so. dang. cheap. Show up here and appreciate real, fun, thought-provoking golf. Here’s to the staff, and the green staff. You’ll see me back soon and often.
