LODGE OF FOUR SEASONS RESORT
🇺🇸 Lake Ozark, MO, USA
Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr.



The Cove course at Lodge of Four Seasons Resort sits along the shores of the Lake of the Ozarks in central Missouri, designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and opened in 1975. Jones, known for his strategic design philosophy and championship-caliber layouts, created a course that takes advantage of the property's rolling Ozark terrain and lakeside setting. The routing incorporates elevation changes characteristic of the region, with fairways carved through hardwood forests and several holes playing along or near the water's edge.
The course measures over 6,700 yards from the back tees and features Jones's signature design elements: large, undulating greens protected by substantial bunkering, strategic water hazards, and tee boxes positioned to emphasize both length and accuracy. The lakefront holes provide scenic views across the water and introduce wind as a factor in club selection. The inland holes move through wooded corridors where tree-lined fairways demand precise driving.
Lodge of Four Seasons operates as a resort destination, and The Cove serves as its centerpiece golf offering. The course accommodates both resort guests and members, with a layout that challenges skilled players while remaining accessible to recreational golfers. The property's location in the Lake of the Ozarks region, a popular vacation area in Missouri, positions it as a golf option for visitors to the area seeking a Robert Trent Jones design in a lakeside resort setting.
