Premier Golf Destination
Kyle Wayne Stewart
The Lake of the Ozarks Golf Trail
When you combine stunning courses designed by some of the biggest
names in golf with a beautiful lakeside resort setting, you have the mak-
ings for one of the best golf destinations in the Midwest. And, that's just
what golfers will find at Central Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks.
Located in the heart of the Heartland, the Lake of the Ozarks Golf Trail’s
13 superb courses, set amid lushly forested hills, impressive rock bluffs
and lakeside views of the shimmering waters, appeal to golfers of all skill
levels. The well-manicured courses are carved from the rolling Ozark
hills and feature tree-lined, undulating fairways and impressive elevation
changes with some beautiful vistas. Each course offers its own unique
setting and set of challenges that bring visitors from across the country
to Central Missouri.
Recognized as the “Best Golf Weekend Getaway” by AAA ’s "Best of the
Midwest," the Lake of the Ozarks has a well-earned reputation for pro-
viding top-notch golf and accommodations year-around. For a golf get-
away of any length, the Lake of the Ozarks Golf Trail makes it simple for
those visiting the area to combine golf and lodging for one affordable
“Stay and Play” rate. Accommodations available include full-service lux-
ury resorts, smaller family-owned resorts, cabins, condominiums and
rental homes. With a Golf Trail Getaway Package, you can customize
your golf outing to fit you (and your group) to a tee. Just visit

When the round is over, there is plenty of fun and entertainment to be

the Nation. With over 200 restaurants and bars, there is no shortage of
options when it comes to dining and nightlife.
