Fully opening in the fall of 2020 after offering a 13-hole preview loop for most of the year, Payne’s Valley is the third regulation-length golf course and fifth course overall at Big Cedar Lodge in Missouri’s Ozarks near Branson. It is the first domestic, publicly-accessible golf course designed by TGR Design, the firm of Tiger Woods.
The Good: Payne’s Valley, Tiger Woods TGR Design’s newest creation near Branson, MO, is one of the eight Wonders of the World. Created near the highest point of the entire resort and cascading down into the aptly named valley, it has some of the grandest views on a golf course I’ve ever seen.

Nov 7 , 2019Payne's Valley is probably going to be the highest-profile domestic golf course opening of 2020, and justifiably so. It is the third 18 by a top-tier designer at …
"Payne's Valley fulfills that dream, and doing it with Tiger in honor of our late friend Payne makes it deeply special to me." One of the unusual features of the course is a 19th hole.
The $3.8 million Doyle paid for the course, in Florida's third-biggest market, is slightly more than the average purchase price ($3.1 million) for the 114 golf course sales tracked by Leisure Investment Properties Group last year.
Payne's Valley is a par-72 layout—10 par fours, four par fives and four par threes—that will play 7,375 yards from the back tees and about 5,900 yards from the most forward tees. As the name would suggest, it plays down and through a beautiful valley on one side of the Mountain Top clubhouse.
The four golfers competed at Payne's Valley Golf Course (Named in honor of Ozarks native Payne Stewart) at Big Cedar Lodge in Ridgedale. It's the first public course designed by Tiger Woods.
— Payne’s Valley, the fifth course at Big Cedar Lodge, opened with great fanfare on Tuesday when Tiger Woods teamed up with Justin Thomas to play against Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose. (Decent four-ball, eh?) You can read all about the match here, but now it’s time to take a closer look at the course: Tiger Woods’ first public-access design, a wide-open layout with 85 acres of fairways that spill across the Ozark Mountains.
On Tuesday, minutes before Tiger hit the 1st tee shot to officially begin the Payne’s Valley Cup, he shared some heartfelt stories about Payne Stewart, an Ozarks native.
Set behind the 18th green and at the base of towering rock walls, the unforgettable 136-yard bonus hole presents not only a challenge for golfers but also a beautiful way to showcase the beauty of the Ozarks. It’s also the one hole for which Tiger can’t take credit: The design was conjured by Johnny Morris, founder of both Bass Pro Shops and Big Cedar Lodge, who has worked with slew of brand-name architects while developing the courses on his property: Jack Nicklaus (who designed the par-3 Top of the Rock); Tom Fazio (Buffalo Ridge); Gary Player (par-3 Mountain Top); Bill Coore and Ben Crenshaw (Ozarks National); and now Tiger. This time, it was Morris’ turn — you won’t find a more dramatic location at which to settle a bet.
The vertiginous ride from the 19th green up to the clubhouse is like something out of an amusement park . Called the “Cliffhanger Trail,” it’s a one-mile nature trail that winds up the rock face. To some, it’ll feel too manufactured and over the top; to others, it’ll feel like the perfect exclamation point to an already-eye-popping experience. Either way, stay alert at the wheel! The passage winds around some unprotected cliffs and through streams and over rock surfaces, requiring slow, precise driving.
Even though the walk to the 1st tee winds through intimidatingly large rocks and sharp edges, the course itself is wholly welcoming. There are many of bail-out areas, mostly on the right side of the holes to accommodate the slicers among us. Generous fairways make you want to unleash off the tee, and large aprons around the greens and forgiving green complexes make approach shots pleasantly inviting.
