Buffalo Ridge Springs, a Tom Fazio-designed masterpiece at Big Cedar Lodge in Ridgedale, Missouri, offers a golf experience deeply rooted in its natural Ozark surroundings. Fazio's design philosophy, characterized by a holistic and painterly vision of integrating golf into landscapes, is evident throughout the course. Originally known as Branson Creek Golf Club, it was meticulously redesigned by Fazio in partnership with visionary conservationist Johnny Morris. The course is renowned for its dramatic landscape features, including rolling terrain, significant elevation changes, and the unique presence of a herd of bison grazing alongside its fairways, adding to its distinctive character. Buffalo Ridge Springs has earned a place on Golf Digest's Top 100 courses. While many holes are considered signature-worthy, the 15th, a 366-yard par 4, is often highlighted for its dramatic setting and strategic demands. The course also features challenging holes like the 2nd and 8th on the front nine, and the 7th, an uphill par 4 with water and out-of-bounds, demanding precise play. Buffalo Ridge Springs provides a challenging yet aesthetically stunning round, connecting golfers with the wild beauty of the Ozarks.
