Book Your Spring Golf Packages Today!

Spring is just around the corner and now is the time to book your Spring golf packages! With many exquisite golf courses at the Lake of the Ozarks, this area is perfect for a golf getaway. Your Lake Vacation will take care of all the details so you can sit back, relax and enjoy your vacation! Take a look at some of our recommended golf courses to see which ones you want to play while you're here.

The Cove at the Lodge of Four Seasons


With 72 bunkers, rolling hills, and water coming into play on 9 of the holes, this par-71 course is anything but tame. The four sets of tees tip out at 6,553 yards, but start at 5,172 so players of all abilities can enjoy this classic design. In typical Robert Trent Jones, Sr. fashion, The Cove is a target golf course putting an emphasis on getting the ball in play off of the tee.

The Ridge at the Lodge of Four Seasons


Many golfers refer to the course’s altitude drops and generous landing areas as “player-friendly”. This par-72 course offers rolling hills, natural rock outcroppings, native wildflowers, and beautiful views of The Lake. With four sets of tees ranging from 4,617 to 6,447 yards, The Ridge offers a challenging layout for golfers of all skill levels. When it’s all said and done golfers leave The Ridge with a smile, remembering a course like no other in the mid-west.

Hidden Lakes at Tan-Tar-A Resort 


Hidden Lakes Course has been ranked by USA Today as one of the best nine-hole courses in the U.S. This championship course is situated inside the gates of the beautiful, Tan-Tar-A Resort. The course features lush zoysia fairways and large bentgrass greens.


The Oaks at Tan-Tar-A Resort


The Oaks Course was designed by world renowned architects Bruce Devlin and Robert Von Hagge and is part of the beautiful Tan-Tar-A Resort. This championship layout, carved out of the natural Ozark hills, places a premium on accurate shots and strategic course management. Its multiple tee boxes and beautiful Bermuda and Zoysia fairways make this championship course a unique and enjoyable xperience for the expert as well as the novice. Its undulating Bentgrass greens, breathtaking elevation changes and scenic views of the Lake make this course a must play on your next visit to the Lake of the Ozarks.

Old Kinderhook 


Spectacular vistas, elevations and a championship layout meanders through the Ozark hills. Tom Weiskopf has designed another masterpiece in Old Kinderhook, turning the rolling topography, rock waterfalls and flowering trees into one of the Midwest's finest courses. Each hole captures a special aspect of the terrain and offers an experience to delight golfers of all skill levels. Amenities include driving and practice ranges, two putting greens, short game and bunker practice area, clubhouse and pro shop, fine and casual dining, locker rooms, lounge, meeting rooms, swimming, tennis, and health and fitness area.

Osage National Golf Resort 


Osage National's original 18 holes, designed in 1992 by Arnold Palmer, feature 7,150 yards of zoysia fairways and bentgrass greens. An additional nine holes (3,559 yards) have been added to create three 18-hole combinations. The course is laid out on beautifully forested, rolling terrain and surrounded by lakes, creeks and the imposing bluffs of the Osage River. This tranquil setting provides the backdrop for a challenging, enjoyable golf experience.

Bear Creek Valley Golf Club 


Bear Creek Valley Golf Club meanders through 250 acres of colorful Ozark forest, meadows and scenic valleys along “Little Bear Creek”. The course has zoysia fairways, subtle L93 bentgrass greens and multiple tee settings, which will insure an enjoyable, yet challenging, round of golf. The facilities include a casual restaurant and lounge, as well as, a driving range, putting green, and pro shop.

Golf Club at Deer Chase 


Deer Chase offers a challenging track through the beautiful Auglaize River valley and surrounding hills. The course features Bermuda fairways overseeded for early spring green-up, multiple zoysia tees and the largest bentgrass green settings in the area. Golf facilities include a driving range, golf shop and practice and chipping greens. Also on the premises is the friendly Chase Tower Grill plus a clubhouse banquet facility with seating for 200.

Lake Valley Country Club 


Voted #1 course at the Lake, Lake Valley features an unusual balance of six par threes, six par fours and six par fives. The fairways are generous, but the large greens are slick and demanding, with considerable back-to-front slope. Lake Valley is a “Must Play” course providing a well-maintained, uniquely challenging course. On-site facilities include a practice putting green, driving range, tennis court, swimming pool, locker room, and bag storage. The Greenside Bar & Grill serves mouth watering sandwiches and cool refreshments daily.

Sycamore Creek Golf Club 

Sycamore Creek is a championship style, par 72, 18 hole, public golf course. Our facility offers a pro shop, chipping and putting greens and hitting nets to use with your irons.

What's the Difference Between Property Management Companies?

At the Lake of the Ozarks, you will find a number of Vacation Rental Managers. Some are better than others and all of us do things a little differently. So what's the difference? How do you determine the right company for your vacation rental property at Lake of the Ozarks? Should you go with a big company, a small company, a company that specializes in just rentals or a company that does a little of everything?

The Rental Management Decision 


This is a big decision and big decisions should be made carefully, with plenty of forethought. A rental agreement is like a marriage, a partnership, you are in fact going into business with someone else and you need to seriously consider who you are going into business with.

You should speak with a minimum of three Lake of the Ozarks vacation rental companies before making a decision, possibly more. When I say speak, what I mean is that after you find three companies that handle property in your area, you then need to thoroughly interview them. Ask them the tough questions. Just because someone is the largest company, has been in business the longest or manages your neighbor's property, does not necessarily make them the BEST rental manager at the Lake of the Ozarks.

Questions to Ask Your Prospective Rental Manager 


So what should you ask?
  • Are you familiar with my area or complex and what sort of success have you had there? 
  • How many properties do you manage and how does that compare with the last few years? 
  • How many rental nights can I expect with my property? 

Not having experience in your area may not be a deal killer, but it is good to know. If the company has more properties than they did a few years ago, that is usually a good sign. If they have significantly less, that could be a bad sign. While no one has a crystal ball to determine how many nights a property will rent for in a given season, based on past rental history for your type of property, the manager should be able to make an educated guess. The manager should be able to show you historical data for a similar property that will translate into potential rental numbers for yours.

Figure Out How the Program Works


Finally, you need to know how their program works. Some companies charge 30%, 35% or 40% or more on each rental you get. Some companies provide towels and linens, while others do not. Some have maintenance and housekeeping staff, while others do not. All of these things will depend on what is important to you and your situation. After all of that, the most important thing is to find a manager/company that you like and get along with. I would visit their office, visit with their staff and see how it works. If you cannot get along with the people that will be managing your home or condo, it won't be a very good or profitable relationship.
