Great course with beautiful layout.

The course was very quiet so I was able to play quickly. It was also very wet from heavy rain but the cart paths were well placed.

Tough course

This course is extremely tough. The tee shots are tight and no forgiveness on approach shots.

The Marshall asked us three times to speed up because we were behind the group in front of us. The group in front of us was part of our group of 15 playing that day. That group was a threesome. The group behind us was two holes back. We finished in 4 hours and 15 minutes on a very difficult course.

Speaking of Pace of Play, and probably more than you need to know, this course was laid out with the first four sets of four holes having a Par 3, a Par 5, and two Par 4s. The Par 3s were paced at 12 minutes, the Par 4s at 15 minutes, and the Par 5 at 18 minutes. So, when you do the math, that's 1 hour per each set of four holes. Add 15 minutes each for 17 and 18, that's 4 1/2 hours. It's OK to play faster, but 4 1/2 is the way it was designed. . . . . . What's important important is your pace while on the course, not necessarily your pace relative to your tee time, so if the marshal keeps a log, and he makes a lap every hour, and he sees that you have taken more than a hour (averaging it out) to play the four holes since he last saw you, he might mention that. Of course, if you are not holding anyone up, or if you are in contact with the group in front of you . . . . .

Challenging and scenic

Course was in very good condition and we ended up playing with a guy who works there after a couple of holes as there was a group in front we we were waiting on as a twosome. Definitely appreciated the local knowledge as there are tricky landing areas and blind shots. We had a very nice time and enjoyed the course. It’s fun but not easy!

Branson Hills Golf Course is a Challenging Course

I golfed the Branson Hills Golf Course the other day. It is a well designed and maintained course. There is not much room for errant shots on most holes. Bring enough golf balls. They offer rental clubs for a reasonable price, new Cobra clubs.

Greens aerated

Greens were aerated and they did not charge less for the round. 160.00 for aerated greens on this course was a little unfair to our group of 6.

Great challenging layout

Course was a little soggy from all the rain. Greens we're plugged and sanded, winter conditions. Can't path only made for a long day. Wish they would have told us, before we played.

Value, challenging

If you want to play the first “high end” course in Branson (formerly Payne Stewart Golf Club) for 1/3 - 1/2 the price of the courses at Cedar (I have not played Payne’s Valley, but I have played all of the other courses there) and still play a well maintained and very challenging layout, this is the course to play! Seriously, a round in the morning and a replay in the afternoon for less than one round at Ozark National!!! and you don’t have to shop with your wife! (my wife says that shopping with me is like hunting with the game warden). Have fun!!!
