Summary:
Amazing course. Play it a couple of times and it becomes an old friend. My favorite in Missouri. Challenge for all levels of players. Great Practice facilities. Wild-life everywhere on the course. Kind of close your eyes as you drive up to the first tee and then open them all the way - you'll be stunned by the beauty of the course. As good as you're going to get anywhere.

Customer Service:
Top notch. The club house is a double wide trailer but it doesn't matter...I go there to play some the best golf in the US not get my back waxed or eat cold soup. The staff is very nice and attentive. Customer service should include the quality of the course from hole to hole and therefore the customer service is second to none.

Summary:
This is my favorite course in OK or MO by far. There is a tee box for every level of player. The course is just beautiful and always in top condition. Hole 15 has the best view of the hole course. The staff makes you feel like you are the only one out there. The clubhouse is a trailer and there is no food service but I'm not there for the food or clubhouse. Practice facility top notch also. If you are going to play in Branson you have to try this course, you won't be sorry.

Summary:
Played this on 4th of July Holiday weekend this year. Greens fees can be a little cheaper at different times of day and days of week. This course is a BEAUTIFUL Fazio resort design. It's a can't miss course in Branson. It's expensive but worth it. It has spectacular views like a mountain course, lots of waterfalls and water hazards. Variety of types of holes. Fairways are very generous which is great at a resort course, but to play well, you have to place your shots. Quite good condition. Range/practice area is fantastic. However, I would give it a D for clubhouse facilities. Very small temporary building with very small pro shop. Food service is very, very limited. But they do have beverage girls on course. Starters/Range supervisors appear to be retired guys who probably volunteer to work for greens fees so they are both locals, very helpful and friendly.

18th Hole is a purposeful duplicate design of Pebble Beach's 18th hole (there is no ocean to cross to the left from the tee but there is a definite hazard) and you can immediately sense similarity.

Customer Service:
I had an issue with pro's attitude toward's lightening/thunderstorm in area. He said that since they didn't have a siren, that anyone playing played at their own risk. However, obviously they haven't had a tragedy occur like I have seen. I would NOT have let people t-off from elevated tees (soft spikes or not)with an ongoing lightening storm in area. We had about a 45 minute delay until we played and the day still turned out great!

Similar Courses Played:
Karsten Creek in Stillwater, OK. An even better Fazio design but it's a tournament course.

Fantastic Fazio course. View from the driving range must be 40 miles. Lots of elevation changes and memorable holes complete with water features and caves. Conditioning is top notch with very true greens.
