Weather beaten

Glad I got the hot deal price, I would been upset paying 55. The pri shop lady was extremely nice and accommodating. It turned out is was a member's course repair today, and many folks were working on the sides of the course. The fairways had lots of bare spots, from previous heavy rain. Also , soft spots and runoff damage was evident. Several blind tee shots on this hilly course. A nice variety of holes, with some beautiful views from elevation. A reasonable inexpensive course for a warm-up round, about an hour from Branson and it's ridiculously overpriced resort courses.

Greens great, fairways terrible

The greens were fast and firm but in great shape. The fairways were terrible. Numerous bare spots, balls hit in the fairway would kick off wildly, etc. Overall for the price it’s hard to complain, but with all the rain this year I’m not sure why the fairway grass is just gone.

This is

This is a great fun course for the $….. they have sustained some damage to the fairways due to severe amounts of rain this spring. They have done some excellent improvements to the pro shop and restaurant. Hope fully they can get the fairways back in shape..

The fairways are in terrible condition, many with more than a third of the fairway, hitting off of dirt. Only the few par threes had a decent fairways.

I have played this course many times and have never seen it in such terrible condition.

What a let down

Based on the course write-up, I thought the drive from Branson would be worth. This place is a cow pasture. The greens are in good shape but the fairways are dirt, dead grass or crabgrass. Several holes are blind tee shots, which I could live with, if there was a decent fairway to hit to. Lastly, the carts must have been made by Henry Ford and his assembly line

First time

This was the first time I’ve played it after hearing about it from others. Still early in the season so tee boxes and fairways are still brown, but the greens are excellent , rolled fast and true. It was an hour and a half drive but after $10 golf pass credit only paid $13. It’s a tight course with homes but fun track. Wouldn’t mind going back in the summer when it greens up. The two ladies at check in were really nice and friendly. If you’re in the Branson area check it out!

Solid

For a little retirement community this is a solid course only total of 6000 yds from back tees but the challenging fairway makes this a quality and course .

Good value

Fun little course. Good greens with a lot of ball marks that didn’t really affect putting. Driving range was closed. Fairways, rough, and tees could be better, but for less than 40 dollars this course is a great value
