The 18-hole layout at mountain ranch golf club promises much more than the typical golfing experience that one would expect from a resort course, with fairways carved from breathtaking ozark mountain forest.

Mountain ranch, which has hosted many state golf championships, is a demanding test of golf from the back tees, which stretch the course to 6,780 yards. you'll need to be in complete control of your game here, as fairways are closely tree-lined from start to finish.

With more than an eighty foot drop from tee to fairway, the right doglegging par five 14th (in the most southerly section of the property) is a unforgettable hole, and it's followed by the most difficult hole on the course, the uphill 15th.
