Robert Trent Jones, Bellerive immediately comes to mind. Not my favorite architect but it's a challenging golf course in A+ condition that I probably wouldn't choose to play all the time but I'd certainly recommend it to anyone that hasn't had the pleasure.

Raynor! Always fun to see his templates incorporated throughout a golf course and how each one is brought to life. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. The course was in great shape, and the thick rough made for an added challenge.

Course was in amazing shape. Most shots were downhill which made it easier to know where to hit the ball all the time. Also so many waterfalls in and around the course. Some how they were able to keep most tee boxes high and fairways low.

A really cool course basically set on top of a mountain. The views at the top of Ozarks National are so good. I’m not sure I’m a huge fan of the course though as much as others are. Still a really fun course and the conditions are so good.

How we rank
This ranking uses each golfer’s conditions rating, on a 0.5–5 scale. Conditions is the golfer’s overall conditions score, or the average of their greens, fairways, tee box, and bunker scores when no overall was given. Every golfer counts once per course: repeat rounds are averaged first, then the course score is the average across golfers. A course needs conditions ratings from at least 5 different golfers. Ties go to the course with more golfers, then the higher Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. State pages include courses across Missouri. Rankings refresh about hourly.
