Nice Course

Got to course early from Ft Leonard Wood. Rate of play was not bad at all. Staff were nice. Great course and layout. I really enjoyed my round. Next time I'm in town for training I will make another tee time.

Nice course for the Rate paid

It was a beautiful fall day. the scenery was great. Play was a little slow, because of the fivesome in front of me. Course was in good condition. Enjoyed the hilly terrain.

Lake Golf

It would have been a perfect day had the speed of play been better. They did not have marshals working. There was a threesome in front of us hitting 3 and 4 shots on every hole. Plus twosomes every where. We let some of them play through but it made our round 5.5 hours.

Bear Creek

September golf! Bear Creek was in excellent condition. Even though the leaves are just starting to fall, the greens have been cleared of those that have. Greens may be in the best condition since I have been coming here for several years. I have told friends, if going to the Lake Ozark area, set a tee time at Bear Creek.
