Save the frustration for another day

If you're a good player, you'll love the course. If you're like me - that is to say lousy with occasional flashes of brilliance (and an equal amount of cheating), you can still love this course, but you must resign yourself to the idea that you're dating above your station, so to speak. I was lucky enough to play alone today and one I played through the only foursome on the course, I was alone. There are no flat lies on this course (to include 3-foot putts), but that is the result of the breathtaking landscape into which the course is carved. I lost 6 balls today (lousy as I am, that's an anomaly), because the rough is rough, and thar be snakes in them woods! At a certain point, I felt that feeling we all feel, and then I looked up. And I saw a par-5 that reminded me of a Bob Ross painting, lots of happy little trees and a fairway that journeyed off into the distance. I put away my concerns for any flashes of brilliance, cheated a little more than usual and enjoyed tender fairways, undulating greens and elevation changes that forced me to take photos at every opportunity. Play the course, and if you're good, it'll push you. If not, relax and take it in.

Super friendly staff, made it easy to find my way. I'll be back.

Snails pace

The starter got our foursome out early so we were anticipating an early finish, but it was not to be. The foursome ahead of us was drinking and the marshal came by on hole 15 to check a complaint from behind us. We weren't being pushed and were keeping up so we let it slide even though tree were two open holes ahead of the offending group. Staff was friendly and accommodating.

Great course, great staff

It was a quiet day at the course and I was immediately greeted in the parking lot upon arriving. The starter was incredibly friendly and helpful in getting me set up with the pro shop and driving range. They had a cool little chipping facility next to the driving range that I enjoyed as well.

The course was beautiful with an abundance of elevation changes making club selection vitally important. Many of the greens are well protected with some obvious sides to bail out on if you aren't feeling particular accurate.

Overall I loved this place. The only thing that could have improved this course would have been me being a better golfer... I really explored the whole course.

Narrow and long

The is not for beginners course. Having extra balls is beneficial. It was very fun for a 86+ golfer. Just hard. It is called Branson Hills for a real reason. The hills and water is everywhere. I'm sure after 3/4 times of playing the course I might break 90.

Course is beautiful and was in marvelous shape. My wife and I have played over 300 courses throughout the US and this is right up with the best of them. Interesting fairway grass with sharp edges and don't know if the grass type or recent rains were responsible for seeming lack of roll. Only real complaint was that the course required a lot of hilly walking even when riding a cart. This was tough for us old geezers. However, the sheer course beauty and condition more than offset the complaint. Played in 3-1/2 hours and it was like playing our own private course.

Very nice

The first thing that stood out to me was that I saw no houses the first 5 or 6 holes. Then I saw maybe 2 or 3 after that and they were kind of overlooking not on the fairways and were very expensive looking.the course was very good and in good shape all around. I started playing by myself but a couple of groups let me play through and then a man and woman let me join them the last 8 holes.i was well pleased with everything. Would play again.

Beautiful course

Keeping in the fairway is a must. Lots of woods and cheeks. Dramatic elevation changes. Beautiful views. Course is in great condition despite recent heavy rains. Greens are in good shape. Several are very large with lots of texture. A bit pricey for the midwest but worth it especially if you can get an on-line discount.

Keeping in mind that rain has plagued the area for quite some time, this day was beautiful weather wise and the conditions of the course weren't really that bad; course design and superintendent management should be credited. Play was very slow with several foursomes (it was an annual gathering) but finally by the 17th hole had surpassed them all. Not really keen on their idea of trying to charge a $25 cart fee for a rider/non-player; that's b.s.
