Lake of the Ozarks premiere golf course

The cove is a gorgeous course and challenging for golfers of all skill levels. Lots of water and elevation changes.

Poor course conditions

Robert Trent Jones would be embarrassed to see this course now. Hal’s dead fairways. Bunkers with black tarps coming through the sand . 4 inch weeds growing in the bunkers. Slow play. Pro shop staff was very friendly and courteous.

Classic course

It was cart path only due to recent rains. The course is a real handful with a very challenging layout. Fairways were still dormant but still provided acceptable lies. Greens were fast enough and held the ball well. The course is a good test of your game. Not sure the pro shop was ready for golf season (no scorecards no tees available) but the staff was very friendly and nice.

Tough layout

Fairway slope and we had trouble finding balls if you didn't hit the fairway.

Amazing service

Right from the start I was impressed with this place. As we walked to the clubhouse a staff member asked where we parked and actually delivered a cart to our vehicle as we were checking in!

The course is challenging, but fun. Greens will have you 3 putting if you don’t get it close.

My only concern is the cart paths, so if it’s cart path only be prepared for a rough ride.

Horrendous pace of play

The course was in great shape and has a fun layout. However, the pace of play was absolutely terrible. We played on a Tuesday and thought it was bad, but Thursday took 6 HOURS to play 18!! The course definitely needs a marshall.
