Legendary Golf in the Ozarks Payne's Valley Golf Course
Named in honor of the late Payne Stewart, Payne’s Valley golf course is the first fully public-access course in the world completed by Tiger Woods’ design firm TGR Design. A partnership between Johnny Morris, Tiger Woods and the Payne Stewart Family, the course showcases the region’s natural beauty through a 19-hole championship course.
Not surprisingly, the dramatic course was named the Best New Public Course in America by Golf Digest when it opened in 2021. In its first year of eligibility, it jumped onto Golf Magazine’s, Golf Digest’s and Golfweek’s coveted Top 100 Public Courses lists.

Ozarks National Practice Facility
The Ozarks National Practice Facility is accessible for guests playing on Ozarks National, Payne’s Valley, Top of the Rock, Cliffhangers and Mountain Top. The practice area features two putting greens, a three-green short game area with sand bunkers, and a driving range featuring Zoysia Grass and artificial hitting surfaces. To prepare your game for the challenge of Ozarks National, the greens are all situated above or below the hitting area, similar to what you will see out on the course.
Tom Watson Putting Course
The Tom Watson Putting Course was designed by Missouri-native and World Golf Hall of Fame legend, Tom Watson, and is inspired by the historic Himalayas putting grounds at the Old Course at St. Andrews. Sitting high atop the Ozark Mountains, Watson’s masterpiece at Big Cedar Lodge covers over one acre of land near the Mountain Top Club House. The course consists of nine challenge holes sure to test any golfers putting skills. Enjoy a beverage from the Mountain Top Grill as you navigate the greens overlooking the beautiful Mountain Top Golf Course.
Perched high in the hills and overlooking Mountain Top Course and Payne’s Valley Course, this lodge-style restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy a delicious meal after a round on the links or a date night with some of the best views in the Ozarks. Mountain Top Grill is walk-in dining only.
