Buffalo Ridge Golf Course

Buffalo Ridge Golf Course, originally named Branson Creek Golf Club, is a Public, 18 hole golf course located four miles south of Branson, Missouri, just off of highway 65.

Buffalo Ridge Golf Course opened for play in 1999. The course was designed by Tom Fazio.

To build the course, Fazio had over 1 million cubic yards of topsoil hauled to the site. 1.6 million cubic yards of rock was blasted. In the process, a cave in the limestone cliff behind the 17th green was uncovered.

Situated amid the beauty of southern Missouri's Ozark region, the course tree-lined fairways and large undulating greens. Here you can really rip your drives, and although the course baits you with risk and reward challenges, Fazio has included generous bailout areas. Although elevation changes are plentiful, they exist mainly between the holes allowing golfers relatively level - yet still challenging - playing areas. Water comes into play on five holes, and bunkering is plentiful. There is also the occasional multi-tiered green to watch out for. The course is known for its exceptional par-3s. Branson Creek Golf Club's seventh hole is a particularly demanding par-3 that requires a long tee shot to a green that slopes from left to right, with bunkers guarding it on the right side.

Both Golf Magazine and Golf Digest have ranked Branson Creek as the best public course in Missouri.

The course plays from 5,032 to 7,036-yards and offers five sets of tees to accommodate all skill levels.

Black Tees: par-71, 7,036 yards, 73.0/133

Gold Tees: Par-71, 6,628 yards, 70.3/129

Copper Tees: Par-71, 6,232 yards, 68.1/124

Silver Tees: Par-71, 5,845 yards, 64.5/116

Jade Tees: Par-71, 5,032 yards, 68.6/113
