Ameristar Casino Resort Spa in St. Charles runs its Topgolf Swing Suite inside Charter 18 Modern Tavern. The resort describes it as a virtual experience that lets a group live out its sports fantasies, which is marketing language for the standard Swing Suite package. What matters is that the bay sits in a proper tavern with food and drink service.
The game set covers virtual golf and the Topgolf target games, plus multi-sport titles for people who do not play. Call (636) 949-7777 to check on availability, since bay hours follow the tavern rather than a separate published schedule. Weekends here are busy, so booking ahead is the safer plan.
The resort itself is one of the largest in Missouri. The casino floor covers 130,000 square feet. The hotel is an all-suite AAA Four Diamond property with 400 rooms, and there are seven dining venues and twelve bars across the complex. A conference center handles business groups and a full day spa handles everyone else.
Suites are contemporary and larger than a standard hotel room, with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen televisions, and sunken living rooms. Upgraded suites add whirlpool tubs, wet bars, and a second bathroom.
Entertainment goes well beyond the gaming floor. RYSE Nightclub runs lights, mist, and a modern club setup. Bottleneck Blues Bar books live music, and the property keeps a full entertainment calendar through the year. A sportsbook operates on site, and there is an arcade for younger visitors.
Dining spreads across the seven venues and includes an upscale steakhouse and a 1950s-themed lounge. With twelve bars in the building, finding a drink is never the problem. Between the tavern that houses the Swing Suite and the rest of the lineup, a group can eat and drink here for a full weekend without repeating itself.
The pool is seasonal and runs both indoor and outdoor, with a sundeck and lounge chairs. The aRa Spa handles treatments and is described as a full-service luxury day spa. A 24-hour fitness room operates for guests, and valet parking is available alongside free self-parking on the property.
The setting is the Missouri River, and St. Charles is one of the better small downtowns in the region. The Lewis and Clark Boathouse sits 0.7 miles away, and the St. Charles Convention Center is about 1.3 miles out. Historic Main Street and its shops and restaurants are a short trip from the resort.
A local trolley connects the property to the surrounding area, which makes an evening in town easier without moving your car. The resort is pet-friendly, kid-friendly, accessible, and air conditioned, with free Wi-Fi and a business center. Boyd Gaming runs the property, and its rewards program covers rates and offers.
Guests rate the resort 4.2 stars across roughly 14,810 Google reviews, one of the largest review counts on this list. That volume makes the score meaningful. For a golfer in the St. Louis area, this is a solid social bay inside a genuinely large resort. For coaching or a club fitting, use a dedicated indoor golf facility.
