In Volume 3 of The Confidential Guide to Golf Courses, Tom Doak published that.

“The old-money stalwart in St. Louis, this is Macdonald’s furthest venture westward, and played host to the 1947 U.S. Open. Thanks to hilly property, many of the fairway bunkers are invisible from the tees, but as one of the members I played with remarked, “You know where they are – anytime you hit a bad drive, you’re in one.” In addition to Macdonald’s usual templates, the 9^th and 13^th are excellent three-shotters, and the par-3 3^rd [a second consecutive par-3 hole] is one of a kind.“

St. Louis Country Club received a score of 6 out of 10 from Tom Doak and scores of 6 and 7 out of 10 from two of his co-authors.
