Lake of the Ozarks: Golf Courses

Apart from the regular holes and teeing areas, the golf courses at the Lake of the Ozarks also offer a wide range of amenities, including luxurious lounges, fine dining, casual restaurants, clubhouses, rich banquets, function rooms, driving ranges, golf shops, charity events, bar and grill, weddings and receptions, meetings, retreats, conferences, spa services, and so on. Others include lodging. Some golf courses have tiny ponds ornamenting the greens, others have ridge courses. There’s also a stunning 4-star course that has been ranked among the top 3 in Golfweek.
