Outstanding course
Great staff great course. Was a nice day for the month of April. Course was great condition
Beautiful day
Very nice day to get out and chase the ball. Good to get away from the covid-19 stuff
great course, poor weather
the 2 fair ratings are only because of the weather, we love the course
Fun course
Early spring round, course was in good condition although the greens were slower than times I’ve played before. My only complaint might be that without gps on the carts they could do a better job marking yardage on the cart paths or at least have a stake at 150 in the middle of the fairway. I’ll definitely be playing there again this season.
A very nice course with a lot of elevation changes. It was in very good shape for November. There was a lot of leaves though. I believe if your going to charge normal rates you should be mowing the fairways and ruff to mulch the leaves. Golf balls should not have to be searched for when they are in the playing area.
course is in great shape
We love playing here its always in good shape and staff is very professional and friendly. Great food also.
Great conditions for August heat
Course conditions were very good. This is a challenging layout and offers a little bit of everything. I only wish golfers would put aside the egos and play the right tees. Tough to watch people play too far back. This course is in my regular rotation; I’ll be back!
Fun course
One of my favorite courses at The Lake, hot deal on Golf Now make it worth the drive from Springfield.
Challenge
This course was a tough. Lots of elevation changes and blind landings and shots. The greens were soft but rolled true. Fairways were very well maintained, not that I was in them much. With the exception of a few holes, if you are a 10 yards off the fairway player this course will be a challenge. Staff was friendly as well. The only downside is the is only one place to get beer on the course and no beer cart. Finished right at four hours. Will be back.
Bear Creek Valley
Great little golf course. Kind of hidden, but a good course to play. Pace of play is usually good, except Day I play 9 July 2019. Had some cronies out playing and it was slow. Still played 18 in just over 4 hours. I will play this course every time I’m in the Ozarks!
Great place to play
The course was in great shape and very challenging. The layout makes it impossible to walk it- but the hills and design are a treat! The water hazard on #1 hole is creative and beautiful. The back nine provides large hills and slopes and Beautiful scenery.
The lady behind the counter at the pro shop is a very nice and professional person.
It was a great time playing here and we will return every time we visit the lake!
Great Sunday afternoon
The Best kept course at LOK that I have played so far. Cart paths in great shape, greens are fast, fairways mowed close.
One of my favorite Lake of the Ozarks courses and best value.
The course is always is good conditions. Very interesting layout with different holes. Course is not tight; but,, you must keep control of your golf ball because it is not wide open on most holes. It is just an exceptional value!
