Lodge of Four Seasons

I loved the Cove. The staff were great. Very friendly and helpful.

The layout was fantastic. Difficult par 3,s but fun. Tee boxes were perfect, fairways were darn near perfect and the greens were great. I would definitely recommend this course. I would give it a 10 out of 10!

Great layout, in outstanding condition for early October play, and the staff is without a doubt the best. We play this every year in October, and every year we enjoy it the most out of all the courses we play. Tried for 36 holes this year, only made 27, and enjoyed every single stroke!

Not a resort course--no cooler on cart, no cover for golf bags in case of inclement weather, no towels, and no starter. Walkway bridges plus cart bridges were in hazardous condition. Definitely these bridges are a liability issue and potential cause for litigation. One had been repaired but repair was shoddy and not a lasting one. Whole course needs revitalization as well as sister course the Ridge. I have played here since late '70's and course is deteriorating. Would not recommend playing the Cove or Ridge until quality improvements are made which reflect a concern about golf in this area. Golf at Lake of the Ozarks cannot compete with Branson area. Only two courses come close to Big Cedar operation. These are Osage National and Old Kinderhook. Not sure whether golf is a priority with the management of the Four Seasons complex.

Sparse grass on fairways and greens. Cart paths with potholes. Beautiful layout and design that needs a huge amount of TLC. Hopefully they put in the work for next summer.

Staff was friendly and efficient.

The course layout is fun to play. A mixture of let it rip and position golf.

Tee boxes and greens were in great shape. The fairways were dry and under watered. Which left you with thin lies in the fairways on several occasions and good shots in the fairway would run into penalty areas because. they were too thin to hold a fair shot.

Ball washers were neglected and cart paths are in need of repair. It is a good course that is rough around the edges.

Course was in terrible condition. Played here the afternoon of 8/22/2025. Brown patches and areas of crab grass growing on the greens making them impossible to putt. Cart paths are not well taken care of overall. Fairways were hard as a rock. I get that it has been a little dry lately, but unacceptable playing conditions for what they are charging you. I've played this course many times and to see it go downhill so fast is sad to see. Will not be playing The Ridge course again until they start maintaining the course. Ruined our guys trip golf outing as we left on the 8th hole. That's how bad of shape the course is in

This is easily the worst course I have ever played. Every green was 1/3 burnt and full of crab grass. The fairways were so hard and nearly impossible to hit out of. And NO putting green at all. They got us out off tee #1 30 minutes late as the second group of the day. Do not come here. Biggest waste of money.

Overall poor rating due to the cost. They know the course is burned up and are still charging full price. The greens are shot, simply no way to get a consistent roll. The fairways are playable, but still burnt up. The staff person checking us in was typical of the "why are you here wasting my time" attitude of many courses, the starter was friendly enough and the rangers were ok. This place used to be a lot of fun to play with great folks, I hope the new owners get it back to where it needs to be.

This course is a shadow of its former self. EVERY green had patches that were completely unputtable, and many were more than half dirt or weeds! Cart paths could rattle your fillings out! The BEST thing I could say was pace of play was good…but that was because most people knew better than us to waste our money. Allegedly, Troon Golf is now managing this course and its sister the Cove…if so, they should shut it down for a season and complete makeover!

Booked a round for my father, mu son and I to play while on vacation, I want to start off by saying the staff was extremely pleasant and helpful, the course was very fun to play, but not kept up with and manicured. Nobody repaired divots on the greens or tee boxes. The creek areas that run in the middle of the course. needed trimming extremely bad. The ponds were completely scum covered. The clubhouse was nice and clean though, and the golf carts were in great shape and include included GPS. If the price was more fair, I would definitely play there again but what you get for the price you pay is definitely not worth it. They really need to either take better care of the course or cut their price in half.

I liked the course but it was not in very good shape. To my surprise, GolfNow didn't advise me that we would be playing the back nine only due to repairs on the front nine. The 10th green was awful. The staff was very friendly. They need more drinking water on the course especially on hot days. Due to the condition of the course, I'm glad I didn't pay more than I did. I wouldn't recommend the course until repairs are done and in better condition. i did like the layout and the journeys between the holes.

My friends & I played The Cove simply because it was so cheap on Golf Now & were pleasantly surprised! In very good shape, challenging but fun.

Would definitely play again.

Overall I’d rate the course 7/10; its average in slots and the fairways and greens show lack of water/maintenance. Pas $75/per with cart (gas) with GPS. I wouldn’t compare it to Ozark National (would recommend) but it works for “lake/resort” golf.
