True to its name, the Tom Fazio-designed Buffalo Ridge — on Golf Digest's Top 100 — has an actual herd of bison grazing alongside its fairways, something few visiting golfers have ever seen before on a course. Adding new approaches, water features and bunkers, Johnny Morris and Fazio created a course layout to bring players in close contact with nature, native grasses and stunning vistas of the Ozark Mountains.

Signature Holes
Hole 8 – "The Ridge"
Par 4 475 yards Handicap 1
The toughest hole on the course demands a precise drive to a narrow fairway perched on a ridge. The approach shot plays downhill to a green guarded by deep bunkers on both sides.
Hole 17 – "The Cliffs"
Par 4 445 yards Handicap 2
A dramatic cliffside hole with the green perched on the edge of a bluff. The tee shot must carry a ravine, and the approach is all carry to a narrow green with stunning views of Table Rock Lake.
Hole 18 – "The Buffalo"
Par 5 575 yards Handicap 14
A risk-reward closing hole with a split fairway. Long hitters can go for the green in two, but water guards the front. The smart play is a layup to a wide fairway, then a wedge to an elevated green.
