How long does it take to fix the bathrooms on the course. They haven’t been working for over 2 years!!!!

Recommend this course

This is a fun course to play around the lake. It's nice, but nothing too crazy. Challenging but not to the point where it isn't fun. The right combination if you're looking to have a good time on a golf course.

Ozark Golf

The course was wonderfully challenging and incorporated the beauty of golf in the Ozark terrain. The only issue we had is the staff, BESIDES RICK, were very blah and the lady working the desk was very short with us. Didn't ask if we had every played, gave us no direction as to how to find the carts or to the rules of the course.

Also, the women's tee's were GODF AWFUL! It's looked as if they really did not care if women played this course or not. The men's tee's were prefect. My wife could not get her tee in some of the boxes because the ground was so bare and dry.

Back From The Dead!

Hadn’t played this course in over 15 years. It had gone downhill to the point that I thought the owners (Tan-Tar-A Resort) intended to kill it for more housing. New owners (Margaritaville Resort) have put lots of $$$ into revitalization; it’s now in great shape, and is a really fun routing!

Always top-notch

This course seems straight-forward, but even low-handicappers are tested with shot placement. I enjoy returning to this course year after year.

Decent but not worth the price

Course was decent, but it wasn’t worth the cost. The clubhouse bar/grill wasn’t open. Course itself was well maintained but I’ve played at better courses for half the cost.

Fun Track

Challenging, but fair and fun. Greens were in great shape and fast, fairways were in great shape too. Very hilly.

Nice course by wet

Nice course. Well maintained but over watered. Played at 9am and everything was soaked. Didn't rain, so this was all from watering.

Great Course

Loved the design. The course was soaked but nothing the course or staff could do about it when they get 20 inches of rain in the month of May. Staff was super friendly. We are definitely looking forward to coming back.

Course in great shape

We were on time for our tee time and the course was running on schedule. Beautiful vista on the opening hole. Greens were medium fast and putted true. Overall the whole experience was very enjoyable.
