The Links At Dardenne

Hole 8 at The Links At Dardenne gives a clear sense of what this public 18-hole course in O'Fallon, Missouri is about: a 556-yard par-5 that wraps around marshy lowlands, where environmentally sensitive landscapes and resident waterfowl and deer are as much a part of the round as the Zoysia grass fairways and bentgrass greens. Hole 6 adds another layer, a 395-yard par-4 with a semi-blind tee shot and a shallow green that demands precision on the approach. Yardage plays from 6,568 down to 4,875 yards, giving the layout range across different tee selections. The course is one of the most-played courses in Missouri on Hole19. The clubhouse bar serves draft beer and cocktails. The pro shop is stocked with the latest golf gear and apparel. A Kids Zone with bean bags, big-screen TVs, and Xbox consoles runs Thursday through Sunday from 5:00pm to 9:00pm.
