Oak Meadow Country Club

Oak Meadow at Oak Meadow Country Club, nestled in the Ozark Highlands near Rolla, Missouri, presents a familiar challenge to generations of local golfers. The course, while not nationally heralded, boasts a design harkening back to mid-century parkland layouts, with gently rolling fairways framed by mature oak and hickory trees. The course tests players with strategically placed water hazards that penalize errant shots, but the open nature of most fairways forgives the occasional wayward drive. The design does offer a few demanding dogleg lefts, requiring a confident draw to set up an approach into well-guarded greens. Oak Meadow has been a stalwart of regional amateur golf, hosting numerous Missouri Golf Association qualifiers over the years. More than a demanding test, Oak Meadow is where Rolla golfers come together, a welcoming club known for its relaxed atmosphere.
