Course Overview
One of five big-name courses at Big Cedar Lodge, the wilderness resort built by Bass Pro Shops founder Johnny Morris, Ozarks National served as a change of scenery for Coore and Crenshaw. Known for their minimalist work in sand, the duo here brought their light hands to a landscape of dramatic limestone ridges, giving way to views of the surrounding hills. While the medium is different, the artistry is familiar, on a course that moves in harmony with the terrain. Not that the designers are opposed to manmade touches. Consider, for instance, the 400-foot beam and blank bridge, which spans from tee to fairway on the 13th hole, crossing over a fast-flowing creek.
