Located in the heart of the Ozark Mountains , courses in Branson are nestled among rolling green hills and surrounded by dense forests , caves , sparkling lakes and springs , and endless mountain views . In fact , golfers in this part of the country call their brand of the game “ nature golf .”
Ozarks National The challenging Ozarks National , top-rated in 2020 by Golfweek magazine as the “ Best Course You Can Play in Missouri ,” has reintroduced native prairie grass , which serves as a natural habitat for local wildlife at Big Cedar Lodge . In fact , the Big Cedar complex manages a herd of North American bison roaming the fields around the perimeter of the courses and proudly notes the facility ’ s sustainable practices for water usage and organic fertilizers .
Coore and Crenshaw challenge players from the back tees of Ozarks National with a layout of 7,036 yards on a tract that demands challenging tee shots to narrow fairways and creative , yet visually appealing , approach shots . The course was named by Golf Digest as the “ Best New Public Course ” when it opened in 2019 . One special course feature is a 400-foot beam-and-plank bridge that connect the 13th-hole tee box and fairway 60 feet above an ambling creek .
