Good tee signs, good baskets, navigation was easy, the wooded holes were real fun, favorite holes, hole 6, 7, 15. Price was reasonable. Great area for family vacation, cabins, pool horseshoes, soccer goals, playground, restaurant, lots for the whole family.

Some of the bomber holes were redundant, 2, 11, 16, 18, and 19.

I was glad to get down to this course I enjoyed myself.

I first reviewed this course after playing a tournament here after the course was first installed. At the time, I was blown away by it and gave this course a 5 disc rating. Since then I have spent a lot of time studying course design and I have even designed a couple of courses myself, so now I look at disc golf courses with a new set of eyes.

This is a wonderful course set amongst a beautiful Ozark mountain resort just outside of Branson, MO on an old 9-hole ball golf course. The Branson Cedars Resort continues to grow and add to their ammenities and activites which include a pro shop, cafe, playgrounds, r/c tracks, bike paths, paintball, scooter rentals, and so much more. Even with out the disc golf, the resort seems like a really cool place to stay, especially with all of the unique cabins and treehouses!

The course itself has pretty much everything you could ask for on a disc golf course. Every time I have played here the course is well manicured and clean and just gorgeous. There are a lot of elevation changes throughout the course and you will get a good hike in with your round. The wooded holes are a little rugged in spots, but that's to be expected in the Ozarks. Be careful of the rocky surfaces as there are chances to roll an ankle or slip on loose rocks. A few of the holes play on some of the old golf course fairways and utilize some of the turf greens as well; you're going to want to stay mindful of disc skips when approaching these greens. There are four water hazards, one of which provides a risk/reward option by trying to carry over a fountain pond with an OB cart path running all the way down the right side of the fairway. The wooded holes are more on the shorter, technical side and the open holes are pretty open but make up for it with the longer hole lengths, OB paths, and elevation changes. There is a fair balance to the uphill and downhill holes, as well as the openness and woods. There are also multiple pin placements and a few alternate tee pads; the new pro tee for hole 2 makes an already awesome hole even funner and more challenging. All of the holes have excellent signage, cement tees, and large next tee arrows beneath the Discatcher Pro baskets. The course does a really good job of utilizing fast greens whenever possible. There are trash cans through out the course and restrooms near the pool by hole 7. There are benches at every hole as well. The front 9 wraps back up to the start of the course and puts you at a close walk to the cafe, pro shop, and office where there are more restrooms.

Hole 1's tee pad has moved since the last time I was here and it is now shorter and a little less interesting for a starting hole. And speaking of tee pads, these pads are a little bit small for a lot of these hole lengths, but at least they're clean and flush with the ground. There are alternate tee pads on some holes, but they don't really offer anything new or different to the holes.

The alternate pin placements don't change the holes anymore than just changing the distance. Of all of the times I have played here, I don't think I have seen any of the baskets change location.

There isn't too much of a demand for shot shaping on this course aside from some of the wooded holes. Water, elevation, and OB cart paths add to the challenge, but a good portion of these holes are pretty straight. I throw RHBH and found that, aside from hole 14, I threw mostly backhand flex and straight shots. Hole 14 turns right just enough for me to switch to forehand.

Hole 12. I have never liked this hole because it feels a little too poke 'n hope for my taste and it is only 1 of 3 holes with a left to right finish.

The course is $10 to play. I don't really know how to feel about that cost, but I will still continue to pay to play this course because it is really fun and in a unique setting.

I really love this course, but I had to dial the rating back down from a 5 because I feel that the course is lacking a few things to elevate it to that level. At one point there were rumblings of adding another 18 holes. I tried inquiring about the course upgrades or expansions, but the lady working at the time would only tell me they just work with the PDGA and that a disc golf course just kinda happened there by a fluke. Regardless, this is my favorite course in the Branson area and one of my favorite courses overall to play. I would encourage anyone staying in or passing through the Branson area to make the trip to Treehouz or reserve a cabin there and just take it all in for a few days or so.
