Behind The Design
Legends lay the foundation
Famed designers Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw walk the land with Johnny Morris in early 2015 and begin designing the course. In March, a press conference is held to announce the new course and clearing begins.
BLUEPRINTS BROUGHT TO LIFE
The design and course routing is set and dirt work begins.
SHAPING THE VISION
Bill and Ben make several trips throughout the year to direct the course shaping and grading. Bunkers and greens appear. The first sod starts being laid.
THE GREEN CARPET ROLLOUT
The greens and fairways are all sodded. The native grass areas are planted, and a mock-up of a clubhouse is erected and adjusted multiple times.
AN ICONIC CLUBHOUSE
In January, an 1800s log cabin from Minnesota is acquired and assembled as the clubhouse. In April, the grand opening is held during the Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf Tournament.
LEFTY’S LEGENDARY MOMENT
Just weeks after his 50th birthday, Phil Mickelson won the PGA Tour Champions tournament at Ozarks National and set the course record.
Ozarks National Practice Facility
The Ozarks National Practice Facility is accessible for guests playing on Ozarks National, Payne’s Valley, Top of the Rock, Cliffhangers and Mountain Top. The practice area features two putting greens, a three-green short game area with sand bunkers, and a driving range featuring Zoysia Grass and artificial hitting surfaces. To prepare your game for the challenge of Ozarks National, the greens are all situated above or below the hitting area, similar to what you will see out on the course.
Tom Watson Putting Course
The Tom Watson Putting Course was designed by Missouri-native and World Golf Hall of Fame legend, Tom Watson, and is inspired by the historic Himalayas putting grounds at the Old Course at St. Andrews. Sitting high atop the Ozark Mountains, Watson’s masterpiece at Big Cedar Lodge covers over one acre of land near the Mountain Top Club House. The course consists of nine challenge holes sure to test any golfers putting skills. Enjoy a beverage from the Mountain Top Grill as you navigate the greens overlooking the beautiful Mountain Top Golf Course.
Dining at Ozarks National Course
Perched high in the hills and overlooking Mountain Top Course and Payne’s Valley Course, this lodge-style restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy a delicious meal after a round on the links or a date night with some of the best views in the Ozarks.
