Mountain Top

Gary Player designed Mountain Top at Big Cedar Lodge, a 13-hole par-3 short course that opened in 2017 spanning 1,912 yards through the Ozarks. Dramatic limestone rock formations, elevation changes, and some of the most scenic views in the Midwest make this a walking-only course — no carts. The course is one of the host venues for the Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf, a PGA Tour Champions event. Big Cedar Lodge, the broader resort, was named the #1 Family Golf Resort in North America by GOLF Magazine's Top 100 Resorts (2019-2020), with Mountain Top as one of the marquee attractions. The course caters to families, less-serious golfers, and anyone who wants a short, scenic round that still demands good iron play.
