What an awesome golf course

Courses like this cost a great deal more in other areas. I can only assume since it's located in an area with older tourists limits the play: thus the reasonable price. I can almost guarantee you will enjoy this course if you try it out.

Maintained well and super staff.

My daughter and I enjoyed this course very much. It was well maintained. Sand in traps need to be loosened up. The staff was very friendly and attentive.

The course was beautiful.

Saw some turkeys. The course was brutal. I was tired when I finished. !8 was one of the toughest holes I have ever played.
I am glad I played the course. I should reword that last statement; The course played me. Ed.

Excellent course but not recommended for the beginner

Challenging and GREAT course but not for the average golfer. Large undulating greens and narrow fairways are not always forgiving. Must keep the ball in play (fairway) to have a chance to score. The course was well maintained. We played from the "Green Tees" at 7046 yards and had a blast.

Great course!

This would be a 5 star if pace of play was what was told on first tee box, 4 hrs and few minutes. Greens fast and tricky. Blind shots. Simply a roller coaster thrill ride!

Multiple elevations and blind shots make this course challenging, but fun.

The course is very scenic throughout with multiple elevations and blind shots. Hole number one is elevated a hundred feet or more overlooking a winding fairway and is difficult for the first timer to make a club selection (driver or something less). Every hole had its own set of challenges with breathtaking views. A few holes restriced the carts to cart path only and with all of the elevation changes, it was very exhausting for those of us who do not always hit it down the middle.

Spectacular!

This is a course every golfer must play. There were a few spots near tee boxes that need a little work. That was all. Period! Fairways, greens were beautiful. Layout of course was done very well. A great tribute to Payne Stewart.

Another wonderful course!

Rolling hills with great elevation changes along with water and creeks running parallel as well as crossing the fairways makes this a very challenging course. Wonderful is all I can say!

Breath taking views

This course is one of the most beautiful you will ever play. The Ozark landscape in beautiful. Many streams and beautiful waterfallls. All natural not man made. The course is in great condidtion. You will remember this round of golf for a long time. I suggest you play the combo tees or the silver unless you are a single digit handicap. This is a tough course.

Don't play early, workers on every hole, bunkers not raked, greens not cut and therefor wet and slow. Great layout, elevation changes, great condition

Worth the money, a must play. Not cheap, but typical for Branson area.

Exciting layout!

The course has significant elevation change, makes club selection tricky. Probably the time of year, but it needed some maintenance in places, and the greens were still sporting aeration holes that made delicate putts pretty random.

1 of the 2 best courses in Missouri here in Branson, MO

Payne Stewart is an excellent golf course from all angles. The course is beautiful and challenging. The ozarks are in full view all around the golf course. One word of caution, if you are not the straightest of hitters you should either bring alot of balls(12-18...seriously) or try another course in the area.

Very scenic, challenging, course

Great track with some very challenging holes, and many good ones. Several semi blind shots were very costly, but I would really enjoy playing this course again. The course was in very good shape, especially considering that I played in mid November .

This course has great views and great holes but is also extremely challenging.

You have to pick the right tees blocks for you ability for starters but you should also pick them for the approach shots as well. Quite a difficult course and a few holes which I think are a bit unfair, but overall worth the play.

Beautiful scenery, great layout.

Wonderful experience. Beautiful time of year to play golf in the Ozarks. Friendly, courteous service. Best golf carts with onboard GPS. Good food and drinks in Knickerbockers. Only negative was that the greens were a little bumpy, but overall a great layout, lots of elevation and interesting character.
