Best greens I've played all year

Was super impressed with the greens. Great job all around from the greens crew! Cups were cut really sharp, rolled amazingly true. Only complaint was pace of play. Several calls were made to clubhouse, but nothing was done. A single four-some was backing the entire course up. Skipped them at 11 never saw another group after that. Front 9 is more fun then the back. Hole 17 is a really pretty hole. Will for sure play it again in the future.

Killin time during Covid-19 quarantine

Took my son out for a round today. The day was beautiful. Course was in decent shape for this early in the year. Greens were nice and soft with very few divot marks. Fairways were cut nice and short and the rough was easily manageable. We played the course in 3 hours and 15 minutes.

For a calm, relaxing round make sure to book a tee time!

Good value in Lake of the Ozarks area

Course was in pretty good condition, thanks to considerable rain this year, but some greens & fairways were a bit weedy & patchy. I like the layout & tee offerings. Staff was friendly. Off course amenities were limited, but staff recommended a good local bar & grill just across road from the course. No onsite practice range.

Great course

I play this course a quite a bit and it’s always in great shape. The staff is always nice and welcoming to everyone and they have a good pro shop and bar and food when u make the turn. Never had a bad experience here and will always recommend it. Sunday mornings are a little busy the only reason I had the pace of play 4 star.

Pace of play a big problem

We were only able to play 11 holes because the pace of play was so bad. Played Old Kinderhook 2 days ago and played 18 holes in 2 1/2 hours. On hole 11 today at Indian Rock we were nearing 3 hours, we picked our balls up on the fairway of 12 and left. Not worth the wait at all.

Course Condition Poor & Walking Not Allowed

The condition of this course, in my opinion, is way below par which is not a good thing. The Zoysia fairways were lacking in Zoysia but not in weeds. The greens were very shaggy and hard. They didn't appear to have been aerated this season and/or top dressed. Since this is the case the ball marks on the greens were very bad. I understand the course can only advise players to please repair the ball marks but many players today are ignorant, lazy, or both. The course however owes it to its customers to provide the best experience possible and Indian Rock doesn't.

The course design has too many tee shots which are completely blind and sometime these holes are also doglegs. One hole in particular, #3, has a pond which is on the course map but there is nothing indicating the distance the pond is from the tee or how far it is to carry the pond. To compound this this tee shot is blind too. One final thing is most of the bunkers have an abundance of weeds in them.

When we arrived we asked to walk and were told 'we don't walk here'. I walk everywhere I play unless the course topography is truly difficult. This course is not one of those courses. To me and others in my group it is more about revenue than allowing people to actually play the game the way it is meant to be played.

I live in the area and you can be rest assured I will not avail myself of playing at this course again.

Will Not Return

The course condition is very poor compared to the other courses I've played in the area.

The fairways have very patchy Zoysia grass in the fairways, the greens were very shaggy, and the bunkers had more weeds than grains of sand. One thing that this and many courses deal with is ball marks on greens which are not repaired. The course can't stop lazy golfers from not repairing these blemishes but they could have someone go around daily to get the worst of them..

The course design isn't bad but in my opinion there are too many blind tee shots. One in particular is the par 5 third hole which has a pond in the middle of the fairway which can't be seen from the tee. There is nothing that i could see which indicated the distance to get to the pond and/or the distance to carry the pond. From the course map one can't tell where the pond starts/ends.

Lastly, the course does not allow players to walk. Their reasoning is that it is too difficult. I walk 99% of the time and I understand if the course topography requires this practice. This course is not one of those courses. This game is made for walkers and it seems revenue is more important than allowing players the option to walk. I have walked tracks like Bayside Golf Course near Ogallala, NE and that is an example where riding at least the back 9 would be advisable. This course is no Bayside so Indian Rock should reconsider this policy.

Fun course

Fun but challenging course to play. This was the 2nd time I played Indian Rock and I played much better this time. Some of the dog legs are short and you can hit it through the fairway. Will probably join the club when I retire at the lake.

Tough but Fun

This course is narrow so you have to hit your shots. You don’t really need a driver but definitely a 3wood. Very hilly so play your shots smart

Lake hideaway secret

This was the first time I played the course and was impressed. It was moderately challenging with the layout even though there are a few hazards. Due to the weather lately it was cart path only on 4 holes other than the par 3s but not that difficult. The only drawback was they didn’t have any watering holes so you had to stop at the turn in the clubhouse. All gas carts have the ball and club head cleaners and power to handle the terrain.
