AMERICA’S 100 GREATEST PUBLIC GOLF COURSES - GOLF DIGEST 2023
#92
Buffalo Ridge Springs has been rated the No. 1 Public Course in Missouri by Golf Magazine and has been named one of the Top 10 Missouri Courses by Golf Digest since 2001, when the Tom Fazio design originally known as Branson Creek put Branson golf on the map. Recently, Buffalo Ridge Springs has been transformed by the guiding hands of visionary conservationist Johnny Morris and Mr. Fazio. Fazio’s original design has been made even better by unearthing natural rock formations, adding covered bridges, and opening Johnny’s Hot Dog Stand behind the 5th green. Even the on-course restrooms are worth the stop. Buffalo Ridge Springs has set the standard for Branson golf courses at a world-class level.
Top 3 Things We Like About Buffalo Ridge Springs:
The views are fantastic! Look for the buffalo.
The course is always in excellent condition.
The staff is awesome. First class service.
Our Best Advice:
Pay attention to the slope of surrounding terrain when reading greens.
Drive slow over the bridges! If not, you’ll need dental work.
There’s a small water hazard behind the par 3 #17 green that is not easily seen from the tee. Don’t go long.
Soak in the experience.
Our Favorite Hole:
#15 Par 4. Beautiful elevated tee with a water fall down the right side. Uphill approach to a green surrounded by rock outcroppings on the left and bunkers and water on the right.
“WE WORKED WITH ERIC TO SET UP A 3 DAY GOLF TRIP. WE HIT EVERYTHING IN THE BIG CEDAR PORTFOLIO. PAYNE’S VALLEY IS A MUST PLAY. EVERYTHING ELSE IS ALSO AMAZING. AWESOME GOLF DESTINATION.
ERIC SET EVERYTHING UP WELL IN ADVANCE. WE COULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN THE SAME SCHEDULE ON OUR OWN (BELIEVE ME I ORIGINALLY LOOKED). THE GUYS IN OUR GROUP WERE ALSO IMPRESSED WITH OUR “CLOSING CEREMONY” AT TOP OF THE ROCK WITH THE SUNSET CELEBRATION.
TEE TIMES WERE WELL THOUGHT OUT AND GAVE US THE PERFECT AMOUNT OF TIME IN BETWEEN. WE PACKED IN AS MUCH GOLF AS WE COULD.
WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE WITH ERIC AND I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM AND GREAT DAY GOLF TRAVEL.
WE WILL BE BACK SOON ERIC ! THANKS AGAIN.”
