The entire facility at Big Cedar Lodge is amazing, and Ozark National is just that!

With outstanding views, Ozark National carves into the land without effort. You feel like you are playing golf on top of a mountain and you are surrounded by rolling hills filled with trees. A very unique golf course/view combination that I highly recommend going to play!

Best holes: 17, 8, 16

Ozarks National GC at Big Cedar Lodge is an 18 hole championship course designed by legendary architects Coore & Crenshaw.

It opened for play in 2019.It is a serious championship course- from the tips the course can play out to 7036 yards!The design fits the terrain 'hand in glove'.It can challenge players with longish carries both off the tees and for approaches to the greens.The course is challenging, but playable off...

Ozarks National is a very fine golf course, but not the gem of Big Cedar that it was touted to be.

This Coore and Crenshaw design is undoubtedly high quality, so the critique here is relative. But, while the design uses (and possibly overuses) topography to create some unique golf holes, none of them stick out as being “great.” Rather, the most impressive feature of the course is just how uncomfo...

My favorite of all the courses at Big Cedar Lodge, Ozark National has much to offer those seeking a quality golf experience.

 This Coore Crenshaw design has lots of humps, bumps and slopes. I personally love to play a course with a lot of movement like this and always feel like it adds character the course, making the round more interesting. However, one needs to plan in advance to play these slopes effectively,...

For my money, the best of the Big Cedar triumvirate.

All three 18-hole tracks at Big Cedar are outstanding but I think Ozarks sits a little above the others. It's an absolute dynamite piece of property with some of the best views you'll find in all of the Midwest. It really doesn't feel like anything else you can play in the rest of the state. It's ab...

A dynamic site with really thoughtful golf holes. This is a course that gets better after your round and you replay the holes in your head and realize how you would navigate them next time. ( see my comment on #14 at the end of this) Ozarks National is not a bomb and gouge course, you need to contro...

Gorgeous views was really my biggest takeaway from Ozarks National.

It is a course that is for a single digit capper. It is one where you would most likely play much better after having played through it once. That being said, knowing where to land the ball is crucial with there being a lot of blind shots and severe slopes that would take the ball 50-100 yards left ...

Mostly Disappointed in this new course.

Although in excellent condition, did not like layout. All holes are on hills, creating windy conditions. Many fairways are on side hills so drives near the middle of the fairway take crazy hops & disappear down steep drops. If miss fairway, rough is thick & ball is lost unless you walk right up on i...

A new era is dawning at Top100, but the wide panel of reviewers here would be remiss not to acknowledge the work of Keith Baxter, Jim McCann, and team, who shepherded the site into the incredible community it is today.

I’ve only personally been along for the ride for the last few years of it, but I would like to give the outgoing staff my personal thanks for their achievements here and wish them the very best in their future endeavors. With that said, this review can begin. The southwest corner of Missouri has blo...

The dynamic duo are at it again, and the mastery of Coore/Crenshaw is in full-view in the “show-me” state of Missouri.

Pre-game discussions with the golf staff suggested that this is the hardest course at Big Cedar in terms of the demands it makes on shot-making, forced carries, judging elevation and green-speeds. I was fortunate to join up with a group of scratch-golfers who have been visiting the resort for years,...
