Set out on the west side of the Lake of the Ozarks, the semi-private course at Old Kinderhook Resort & Golf Club is a Tom Weiskopf layout that blends in beautifully with its lakeside setting.
Old Kinderhook is both the name of a planned community and the golf course that serves as its centrepiece, surrounding the Lake of The Ozarks in the southwest Missouri. Tom Weiskopf — working solo — created the design, which balances both his belief in bold hazards and a comfortable, resort-caliber yardage of 6,700 from the tips.
Perched up in the hills above the body of water, players will be able to cast their eyes out across the scenic region when looking down from tee boxes at holes such as the par three No. 11. Those more familiar with Weiskopf’s work will inevitably be looking for his guaranteed drivable par four. It comes at No. 6, and allows a comfortable layup followed by a comfortable pitch for a birdie opportunity. Of course, most players are on vacation at this point, so they can attempt a power draw, threading the woods and the greenside-right bunkers, to catch a kick down onto the green of this 344-yard hole.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
