Osage National Golf Club

The Links at Osage National Golf Club is an Arnold Palmer design situated in the Lake of the Ozarks region of central Missouri. Opened in the early 1990s as part of a larger resort and residential development, the course takes advantage of the area's rolling terrain and wooded landscape. Palmer's routing works through elevation changes and natural corridors, with fairways carved from dense Ozark forest and several holes offering views of the lake and surrounding hills. The layout incorporates water features and strategic bunkering characteristic of Palmer's design philosophy, which often emphasized playability for resort guests while maintaining challenge from the back tees. The property's topography creates variety in hole character, with some holes playing along ridgelines and others descending into valleys. The natural setting provides a contrast to the flatter agricultural landscapes found elsewhere in Missouri. Osage National operates as part of the Lake of the Ozarks resort community, which has grown into one of Missouri's primary recreational destinations. The facility includes a second course and serves both resort guests and members. The Links course reflects the era of golf development in the region during the 1990s, when the lake area expanded its amenities to attract visitors and seasonal residents seeking golf alongside the area's traditional water-based recreation.
