kings river golf course

About 30 miles from Branson, MO, this course is about 3 towns over at the end of a farm road. Basically, it is a low end public course (play all day for $30) but even that value could end up hurting you. The fairways are nothing more than just regular grass and weeds mowed short with lots of rocks and bumps and holes. You will get NO roll on drives as the fairways are only cut in landing areas with all other areas with higher grass which plays like rough. Tee areas had very high rough grass which made hitting with woods very hard unless you have super long tees. NO cartpaths on the course just some very loose bumpy rocks and holes. I felt like I needed an all terrain vehicle not a golf cart. The greens on the front nine are very average and holey but playable, however the back nine the greens are horrible with a few burned greens and many in bad shape. I just quit putting on the bad nine. Playing the front nine would only be good for your game if you need to practice mountain golf and to get used to slopes and elevation but you will not get better with your swing as every and I mean every lie is uneven and difficult to hit under the ball. Putting is fairly straight on every hole so not too much challenge other than the bumpy greens. I played 18 and then left as to play more out there is just not helping my swing or my game. Maybe for beginners or kids it would be okay as a day activity and the views are nice but for any serious player please skip[ this one and just play in town in the afternoon on a real course and get a discount there. Also they do NOT have a snack bar or restaurant for food, just pre-made packaged sandwiches out of a cooler like 7-11 so bring your own. You will do your patience and your swing a favor if you just skip this one.
