Branson Hills Golf Club

Beautiful gem! Well maintained and very friendly staff

This is a tough course but lots of fun. It was exactly as described. We did not encounter any surprises regarding conditions, water available, customer service, equipment, etc. If ever in Branson again, we will play this course again.

I had a great round of golf- no one ahead of me and no one behind. Course is top notch. I highly recommend you give the course a try!

Fantastic course. Amazing layout. Must play if you visit Branson. Played Buffalo Ridge Springs. Ozarck National and Payne’s Valley and this is just as enjoyable with 1/3 the price.

If you can't hit a 50-yard-wide target at 200 Yards, maybe you'd be better off with a few bags of balls at the range. This course is not one to learn how to play golf on, and the group behind you would appreciate you not looking in the woods after every shot.

The ladies hit the ball 100 yards at a time, and get around the course in three hours, so why do you big, husky guys, with your wannabe PGA Tour-style golf habits take five hours?

Good course, zero service. The one sighting of drink cart was driving up in my back swing. Never saw again.

Did not realize this was no longer Payne Stewart Golf Club and was sad my buddy (first time at the course) didn’t get to see the Payne memorabilia. The course is still incredible. Really tough, but gorgeous. The pace of play on the back nine was what nightmares are made of. Took almost two hours to play the final 5 holes. And they charge a $129 green fee and make you buy bags of range balls. So dumb. Charge $139 and give me the range balls. Nickel and dimming patrons at that level green fee seems short sided.

Great course! Good value for the price. Pro Shop was friendly, efficient. Course is in awesome condition and has multiple elevation tee shots. Would play again!

Extremely pretty course with some elevated tees, rolling scenery and mansions scattered along the sides. All the staff were uniformly friendly. Challenging but still very accessible to a poor golfer (me). Would love to play again some day.

Very nice and somewhat challenging course. Lots of scenic veiws, staff and facilities our top notch! You won't be disappointed!!

This was an impressive course for accuracy and distance control. Makes you think through every shot. Familiarity will help next time!

Nice value given other resort courses in the area. Good fun layout

The Good: Branson Hills GC is a beautiful, demanding design from Chuck Smith & former PGA player & commentator Bobby Clampett. Surprising elevation changes with as picturesque of views as you’ll find in the Midwest, particularly with the rock cropping and water features. One of the tougher courses that I played on my annual golf trip, it is one of the more difficult approach shot tracks out there. Starts off with a jaw-dropping downhill Par-4 opener, superb Par 5’s and nice collection of Par-3’s. Excellent conditions and large, undulating greens that putt true. Nice clubhouse with full restaurant and bar, as well as amenities that include several on-site restroom areas and GPS on carts. Nice driving range and good practice facilities. Decent value, especially compared to the overpriced Big Cedar courses.

The Bad: The greens, while they putt really true, didn’t hold well at all during our round. Can be considered too demanding of a golf course for high handicappers as most holes don’t have any place to bail. The driving range was awkwardly placed far from the first tee. The staff at the restaurant and the golf shop were working really hard, but weren’t overly friendly.

The Verdict: Branson Hills is a Top 5 public golf course in Missouri that I’ve played and a great addition to a Big Cedar trip. Some holes seemed to be hard for the sake of being hard, but otherwise it’s a very enjoyable experience.

Best Hole: The long, downhill Par-5 5th hole is one of the most amazing holes you’ll find in Branson. Make sure to take a picture from behind the green!
