Buffalo Ridge Springs Named Best in State by GOLF Magazine
For the second consecutive time, the Buffalo Ridge Springs course at Big Cedar Lodge, a premier outdoor destination in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri, has been heralded as the best public golf course in the state of Missouri by GOLF Magazine in its state-by-state ranking of courses you can play. The list is a biennial ranking of the best public-access courses in each state which appeared in the September issue. Buffalo Ridge maintains its top ranking from 2014, strengthening Big Cedar Lodge's place in the golf industry and solidifying the resort's long-term commitment to golf.
Formerly known as Branson Creek, the course was originally designed by renowned golf course architect Tom Fazio. In 2013, the course was purchased by Johnny Morris, founder & CEO of Bass Pro Shops and Big Cedar Lodge, which ignited his vision for golf in the Ozarks. Together with Fazio, Morris redesigned the course from 2014-2015 to uncover natural rock formations, enhance existing water features, rebuild all bunkers throughout the course and highlight the natural beauty of the Ozarks. The course was reborn as Buffalo Ridge Springs in June of 2014, in advance of the Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf.
"We are humbled and honored by this accolade from one of the most prestigious publications in the golf industry," says Eric Smith, head golf professional at Big Cedar Lodge. "This ranking is a testament to Johnny Morris and the entire team at Big Cedar Lodge as we strive to create one of the best golf experiences in the state, and throughout the country. Golf is a natural extension of the Big Cedar Lodge experience and we will continue to build upon this ranking as we introduce two new courses at the resort over the next two years."

Fuzzy Zoeller - designed Private Gem Rolls Through Illinois Heartland
From its gracefully curving fairways to its immaculately manicured greens, Boulder Ridge Golf Course bears the unmistakable mark of a champion. That champion is Fuzzy Zoeller, former winner of the Masters and U.S. Open, who has lent his personal touch to this spectacular 27-hole course.
What makes a good golf course truly great? According to Fuzzy, a course must be flexible enough to equally challenge both amateur and professional. It must be as beautiful to look at as it is to play. The course must be spacious and wide open, with water providing a refreshing backdrop rather than a frustrating hazard. And above all, a great golf course must withstand the test of time, providing a golfer as much enjoyment on his or her fiftieth outing as it did on the very first.
It was this, Fuzzy's personal philosophy, which guided Lohmann Golf Design in the creation of Boulder Ridge's par-72 course. Sculpted out of the Illinois heartland, this 7,000-yard private course pays tribute to the game through its respect for both nature and golfer alike.
Spread out over acres, the expansive course plays much larger than the average course. Each hole features multiple tee locations attracting players of all levels. Paved tee-to-green cart paths weave throughout the entire course, while strategically placed bunkers enhance the landscape, as well as the game.
Thanks to the combined efforts of Lohmann Golf Design, Fuzzy Zoeller and Plote Homes, Boulder Ridge represents everything a great golf course should be.
