Big Cedar Lodge: Buffalo Ridge

Tom Fazio’s Buffalo Ridge Golf Course at Big Cedar Lodge is an 18-hole championship-style course set amid the dramatic scenery of the Ozark Mountains. From the opening tee shot, the layout delivers wide regional views and a distinctive natural setting, with North American bison often seen grazing near the fairways. Elevation changes shape the round throughout, while cascading water features, creeks, rock formations, and cave elements add character to key holes. Buffalo Ridge offers a demanding but memorable test of golf, with risk-reward holes, bunkers protecting the greens, and water hazards that reward accuracy and smart shot-making. For golfers seeking a scenic Missouri golf course with a strong challenge and a clear sense of place, it stands out as a compelling championship-style experience.
