Timeless Golf in the Ozarks Ozarks National Golf Course
Among the world-class courses that Big Cedar Lodge offers, is Ozarks National, Missouri’s first and only golf course designed by architect duo, Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw. Measuring 7,036 yards from the back tees, this 18-hole course represents all of what the Ozarks terrain has to show.
Move right through the challenging carriers as you admire the beautiful views and a variety of visually appealing approach shots—spotlighting the native habitat that surrounds you. Also appearing throughout the course are several riveting features, including a 400-foot wooden beam and plank bridge, which connects the tee box and fairway of the 13th hole that stands 60-feet above a flowing creek.
"There are so many beautiful spots on this course it’s unbelievable. There is a certain atmosphere about this place that we’ve never seen before.”
- Ben Crenshaw, Course Architect
