Set among the majestic Ozark Mountains near the Big Cedar Lodge, Payne’s Valley is the first public Tiger Woods Designed golf course in the United States.

The design of Payne’s Valley created a championship-caliber, family-friendly golf experience that allows individuals of all skill levels to come together to enjoy the game and the beautiful natural setting.

The course plays alongside dramatically exposed rock outcroppings, bold mountain ridges, sweeping valleys, pristine streams, and beautiful mature trees, creating a memorable backdrop for the 18-hole golf course.

Sprawling, wide fairways will showcase playability, while also allowing strategic angles and shot values to be emphasized to challenge experienced players. The green surrounds are designed to promote creativity and a variety of recovery options, while the fairway rough will be maintained to low heights of cut to further promote a fun, enjoyable golf experience.  

Payne’s Valley complements the expansive amenities at the premier wilderness resort and family destination located in Ridgedale, Missouri.

The world-class course concludes on the spectacular 19th hole designed by Johnny Morris, Bass Pro Shops and Big Cedar Lodge Founder. The striking par three hole plays to an island green surrounded by streams and waterfalls flowing down exposed rock walls to close the round.
