We went to Crystal Highlands GC with a good friend to play our first round, and the staff is very friendly. The course is in fantastic condition, with really fast greens, lots of heights and steep terrain, and it looks stunning from the tees to the greens. We had a great time playing and will be returning soon. To share with my friends, I produced a YouTube video.

Absolutely fantastic, I put it just behind Annbriar, Difficulty is on Par with Annbriar, but obviously not the Fairway condotion and green conditions and type. Great Clubhouse, restaurant was closed, and this is my only pet peave, they had premade sandwiches that were dry, worth about 1.00 in food cost and they charged 7.50, come on people I had a barbecue sandwich at Tapawingo that was so big I couldn't finish it for 8.50.

One of the best public courses in the St. Louis area, Crystal Highlands was stuck in purgatory as a Union Pacific executive retreat for nearly 20 years... but it's *finally* been sold by UP and reopened to the public by its new owners. These owners inherited a gem of a course in absolutely excellent condition as of early August 2021 thanks to very little play over the past few years. It's a bit out of the way, but well worth the drive.
