Golf in Branson

By Marcus Davies

With an outstanding list of honors and awards to their credit by GolfDigest, Golfweek, and Travel and Leisure Golf Magazine among others, the Branson area's many courses are among the Midwest's finest. Integrating inspired course design by Tom Fazio and Jack Nicklaus with rugged Ozark Mountain topography, these courses offer scenic and challenging play for beginners and avid players alike.

Players can expect to find lush Bermuda and Zoysia fairways and tees, bent grass greens, plenty of waterfalls, lakes, creeks and bunker features, and a variety of open and tree-lined fairways.

Several courses stay open year round with reduced rates November through March and discounts for play after 12 pm, multiple players and in combination with lodging packages. Most of these courses can accommodate tournaments and corporate special events, and offer private instructions by appointment. The Branson Area Golf Council is a great source of information about the area's courses. For more information visit www.golfbranson.com.
