A Bad Combo: Expensive, Slow Greens & Pace of Play
Expensive. The weekend rate is $79.44. You can play the best course in the metro area (Annbriar) for $77.
This course is no Annbriar. You can play another outstanding golf course with excellent greens for $7 more (Gateway National). Other better courses at a better price are Stonewolf & Spencer T. Olin.
One thing a course cannot have is slow greens. The Golf Club of Wentzville greens were soooo slow.
Place of play was awful too. No rangers. On the back nine, there was 2 groups on a tee box.
Several fairways have rough spots. Holes 1, 3, 4 & 13. Two tee boxes in rough shape. Holes 5 & 15.
Enjoyable Course But A Bit Overpriced
The weekend rate at the Golf Club of Wentzville is $68.50. This a fun course, enjoyable and playable course but does not stack up to these courses with better design: Annbriar ($77), Far Oaks ($70) & Spencer T. Olin ($57). Rates are similiar or even lower. I would be happy to pay $8.50 more to play the best course in the STL metro area - Annbriar.
.
The course was wet from over 2 inches of rain. I thought overall the conditions were good. Pace of play was not good. Waited on every shot. The course is mostly flat except for holes 1, 9, 12 & 16.
Winter Weekend Rates Too High With Carts On Path Policy
Some public courses are now going to a carts on path policy, once the zoysia grass goes dormant. The Golf Club of Wentzville is one of those courses.
The course has only reduced their weekend greens fees by $12 for winter rates and you have to keep the carts on the path. This rate and cart policy is not going to bring people out to play. It was the emptiest I've ever seen the parking lot on a weekend - with a nice, sunny, fall day with the high's in the 60's.
The greens were on the slow side today. However, the overall conditions of the course was good for mid-November. The course also has new golf carts.
You can find courses with lower weekend green fees and allow carts in the fairway in the off-season. I would look for these and not play this course until the Spring time. They are losing a lot of revenue with this cart policy.
Pricing gone mad
Use to be our groups favorite course but like many courses lately, they have increased prices to insane levels and cut back on amenities. Pro shop has little to offer as far as merchandise or food/Beverage. Staff could take some customer service training.
I like the layout and the back 9 and is always fun, but not worth $60+ on a weekend with so many options in the STL area.
One Of My Favorites To Play
I always like coming out the Golf Club of Wentzville to play. I know it will be a friendly, relaxed vibe at this course. One of the few golf courses who let you take carts out to the parking lot. Nice layout, not overly difficult. The difficult holes are 5, 8, 9, 10. Overall the tees, fairways and greens are in great shape. The course is reasonabily price for the weekends at $63.
The only issues I saw were the 5th tee is in rough shape. The rough just off the fringes had quite a bit of dead, brown grass.
Fun Course To Play
Always enjoy playing at the Golf Club of Wentzville. A relaxed, friendy vibe you get playing here. The price of $62 on the weekend is right for the course you are getting.
In general, The course was in great shape. Tees, fairways and greens. The greens had good speed to them. They have been watered a lot. Huge ball marks when your ball landed on the green.
The only issue with the conditions of the course, was the rough, especially around the greens is mostly brown and dead.
The pace of play was slow on the first nine but got better on the back because a twosome dropped out after nine holes.
Excellent Conditions On A Fun Track
First time playing the course this year, I last played it August last year. I was really impressed with the conditioning of the course. Can't get much better than this. With a weekend rate of $62, it has an attractive green fee rate.
It is in better shape than the Landings at Spirit ($72), Annbriar ($75) and Aberdeen ($72).
The greens had a good speed to them. It was the best this course has looked since I started playing here. Get out to The Golf Club of Wentzville this year.
great course challenging and fun!
Great course good condition very friendly staff! Love the in the cart GPS makes it very nice for yardage wherever your at throughout the course. Play often and will continue to play as much as possible.
Course is in great shape
This course is worth every penny and an easy cart path only course. I really like how they give a heads up almost every morning so I know what to expect when I get there. You can get updates at https://www.facebook.com/GCofWentzville . Over all a great course, friendly staff, and I like to see that the pro shop is getting new/different items.
Good Conditions
The Golf Club of Wentzville is a fun, playable golf course that is always in good condition. Fairly wide open golf course with very few bunkers. On the front side, it has 3 harder holes (5, 8, 9). On the back side, the harder holes are 10, 14 & 17.
Overall, the condition of the course is very good. The only issue of the golf course is there are some rough areas in the rough. This is because of the excessive rainfall we had in late July. However, the course is planting grass seed with straw in numerous areas on the course. The white tee box on hole #5, was the worst tee box on the course.
The course is concerned about slow play because there was a ranger out on the course watching this.

Tee Box on hole #5 has been worked.
Thank you for your kind comments,

Tees, Fairways & Greens in Great Shape
Overall, the tees, fairways and greens are in great shape. The greens were a bit on the slow side.
Due to significant rainfall/intense heat, that started around the end of July and went through most of August, there are sections of the rough which are not in good shape. These would include holes 1, 3 & 14. However, the course has numerous places in the rough where you see newly planted grass seed/straw. They had also put some new sod in some of the fairways. Good to see a course making improvements to the course.
The $60 green fee is in line with the overall shape of the course. It is a fun, playable course to play.

Our greens will vary depending on when they are worked.
Thank you for your comments,

An enjoyable course in good condition
A fun and enjoyable course to play that was in good condition. The clubhouse is pretty small and isn’t much to look at but the two people working in there were friendly.
It seemed as if some top-dressing had been applied as the greens look like they are recovering from being punched a while ago. There was a lot of sand on all of the greens and hopefully that will make them nicer later but it provided for an uneven putting surface while we played.
The front nine was more interesting than the back nine. Thought that the holes on the back side all seem pretty similar and straight, with a couple of them right by a city road. However, the two par 3s did have fun elevation changes.
The greens and tee boxes were mostly in good shape. In addition, I’d say the fairways were excellent. For a sunny Sunday, the course was crowded and busy but it didn’t lead to a slow round. We got a "hot deal" rate but not sure I'd pay the full weekend price as it was a bit expensive for the quality of the course.
Nothing too exciting or difficult but a track that was in good all-around shape that I will play again.
Cart Path Only in Winter Months - No One Monitoring This
When you walk into the clubhouse, there is a sign that all Whittaker Golf Courses are cart path only from November 1 - March 15. Which is fine and many courses are moving to this. However, there is no course ranger to monitor this. The group in front was driving in the fairway as they pleased. I saw others doing the same thing.
The condition of the golf course was in good shape for early March. It is one of my favorite golf courses in the area. Fun, playable and a fair price.
In summary, if your policy is to have all players keep their carts on the cart path - then someone needs to ensure this is going on.

We do have a course advisor cart that our staff uses to monitor the course. We get out on the course often and may not always be in the course advisor cart. Additionally, we are staffed less in the fall/winter months but we do get out on the course.
Thank you for your in put,

Thank you for the five stars. The course has been in great shape and worth every penny.

Just A Fun Course To Play
Always like playing at the Golf Club of Wentzville. A fun course to play that has a nice variety of holes. A $30 greens fee during the week, in the off-season is nice.
They are always trying to make the course look nice. A conscientious effort today to rid the course of leaves. Leaf blowers and mowers to eliminate most of the leaves. Placing new sod by several tee boxes.
Hole 9 is the most difficult hole on the course. They made it more playable by removing several trees on the right side now.
The only issues i saw were some bare, low spots in some of the fairways. Hole 1 green is revovering from an oil leak from a mower. Greens on holes 2 & 3, had some minor tire tracks on them.
Recently Aerated Greens, Greens Fees Too High
Overall, this is one of my favorire courses in St. Louis metro area. A good mixture of easy, moderate and hard holes. Fun to play and usually in decent shape.
The greens were recently aerated and they do have some fairway drainage issues on a few holes (3, 4, 5). The top half of the 1st green has damage to it from oil leaking from a mower.
I thought the price of $62.50 was too high, considering it is late October and the greens were recently aerated. You can play the best course in the St. Louis metro area (Annbriar) for $70 - to show a comparision.
No refund for rain
This golf course will not give money back if it rains. Never had a course rob me of money like this before. This has to be the worst course in the St. Louis area.
Good Course
Overall, the course was in very good shape. Greens were in great shape. Pace of play was an issue as it backed up on the front 9 and the overall round took 4.5 hours. Enjoyed the course.
Just to clarify, the GCOW does not have in cart GPS.
Thank You,
