Payne's Valley

The Verdict

Tiger Woods's first public design, and a fitting tribute to Payne Stewart. Wide fairways, excavated rock walls, and the famous 19th hole bonus par-3 over water. Playable and dramatic in equal measure.

What to Expect

• Tiger Woods design — his first public-access course, built for playability
• Excavated rock walls — the exposed limestone gives the course its visual identity
• 19th hole — bonus par-3 over water — win the hole, tradition says you buy
• Payne Stewart tribute — named for the Missouri native and 3-time major winner

Scorecard

Logistics

Public access through Big Cedar Lodge. The 19th hole is part of the routing — plan extra time. Combine with Ozarks National and Buffalo Ridge.
