Best Public Golf Courses in Missouri 2025


Over the past decade, Missouri’s Big Cedar Lodge and Branson’s collection of other top public golf courses are helping to put the ‘Show Me’ state on the map for traveling golfers. GolfPass releases a Top 25 Public Golf Courses in Missouri every March thanks to YOU. We create our annual Golfers’ Choice lists by curating the reviews submitted by everyday golfers. We use GolfPass’ Ratings Index logic that weights newer reviews and combine it with a course’s subcategory averages.Each course needed at least two reviews and at least some public access to qualify. Unfortunately, none of the Big Cedar courses in the Ozark Mountains – Ozarks National, Buffalo Ridge Springs and Payne’s Valley – received enough reviews to qualify. If you believe they belong, make sure to leave a review next time you tee it up. Just to clarify, short courses like Mountain Top and Top of the Rock aren’t eligible for this list. We make our Golfers’ Choice best-of lists user friendly. Simply click on the photo of each course to learn more about the facility or to book a tee time (in most cases).Want to get involved with determining the top public golf courses in Missouri or any other future Golfers’ Choice lists? Click here to review the next golf course you play.Missouri golf courses reviewed in 2024: 76Reviews of Missouri golf courses in 2024: 2,042
