Lifetime Golf Membership

I love Branson Creek Golf Course which is why I purchased one of their lifetime golf memberships. It is a one-time fee for unlimited golf year round, free range balls, and use of golf cart with no annual dues.

I am looking to sell my lifetime membership at a discount right now.

Branson Creek Golf Club

My group doesn't play the highest-end courses very often, but I was anxious to play here. A Tom Fazio/Troon Golf facility, it opened in 2000 to rave reviews and immediately topped Golf Digest's list as the best course in Missouri, a distinction it's never lost.

By the time you get here (it's more than a few miles east of US 65, south of Branson), you realize you're not going to be in the middle of a big traditional golf community. Fazio and company picked out a wonderful piece of property and have made the most of it. Several vantage points on the course are the highest around and give you fabulous views over the layout and miles and miles besides.

I've never had a better course experience. The layout makes beautiful use of the Ozarks terrain and is challenging but fair. None of the holes are compromises--each plays well and asks you to be accurate, but doesn't penalize you if you're not dead perfect. My brothers, who were visiting from major metropolitan areas (one involved in golf for a living), said he'd never played anywhere better. The features that make the Ozarks topography so distinctive are all incorporated here: the rough terrain, limestone bluffs, waterfalls. All the fairways and greens were in tremendous shape. Nobody scored well here, and while I won't say we didn't care about it, it wasn't the only important thing about the day.

At $98, the whole experience, staff included, was definitely worth it. The only thing out of place is the temporary clubhouse, still housed in a large trailer. But from the practice tee on, everything else is done just right. If you play golf and make it to this part of the country, don't miss it.

P.S. You can play here for $75 as a guest at Big Cedar Lodge, but you must have the Lodge reserve your tee time.
