If you are a resident of University City, then Ruth Park might be a cheap option if you are thinking of playing golf. However, if you are not a resident, then I would recommend never going to Ruth Park. It is fairly cheap for residents but way to expensive, for what you get, if you are not a resident. The gentlemen in the pro shop are not too kind and the course itself is horrible. I was actually playing a round there with a friend of mine when, while getting ready to swing my driver, a sprinkler shot up about 10 feet from me and started going to town. We had to leave the tee box and wait for it to finish. The crazy thing is that that has happened six or seven times. The course isn't in that good of shape that they need to water it while people are playing.
