Cassville Golf Club

Comments

Cassville Golf Club in Cassville, MO is the only game in town and for many mile around. Cassville, population of 3,300, is about 60 miles southwest of Springfield and 15 miles from the Arkansas border. The club has 200 members, which is very impressive. On the morning I played, there were no gaps in play on the front 9 and the early birds were already making the turn to the back. In fact, CGC gets 17,000 annual rounds of play. The course, which was built in 1966 (back nine in 1988), is a lot of fun to play. Besides having ample hazards (sand and water), you really have to be able to shape your ball to the right and left to play the many sharp doglegs. Some holes are wide open and many others are very narrow, guarded by mature trees, water, sand, etc. You will likely have the opportunity to use every club in your bag. The tee boxes were in great shape and the greens were relatively small with more complexity than usual for a rural course. A special call out to Chuck Edie, the manager of the course, who was great!
