Ledgestone Golf Course in Branson, Missouri a wild, mountain golf course

Being from a very flat state, I love mountain golf courses.

I found a gem just outside of Branson, Missouri, called Ledgestone Golf Course.

It’s set in a ritzy neighborhood called Bridgestone, and it has some serious elevation changes – I defy anyone to play No. 15, a par-3, and not get at least a mild case of vertigo.

No. 15 is the most dramatic example, but quite a few other holes highlight this part of the Ozarks.

It does take some getting used to. With all the twists and turns and elevation changes, you need to play this course a few times before figuring out the angles. That dogleg that looks so inviting may have serious trouble lurking just around the corner.

It’s very well-conditioned, with zoysia fairways and bentgrass greens, and clear, little mountain streams run along many of the fairways. Small waterfalls and bridges take you over lakes and ponds, and elegant landscaping augments the aesthetics: orange butterflies hovering over purple flowers.

It is Branson’s only private golf course, but they’re rather lax about the rules here. Ledgestone has good practice facilities, a driving range and putting green, and elegant clubhouse. The carts have GPS.

Look for the full review coming soon.

Grass is green. What color is grass?
