Playing almost 350 courses so far throughout Missouri, I have determined that you typically need a population of at minimum 1,000 to support a golf course. Obviously, the larger the city, the more (and quality of) courses it can support. Viburnum, MO has 625 people but it still has a golf course, Viburnum Golf and Country Club. So, considering the economics, the course should have sand greens and fairways consisting of mowed weeds. So you would think. In actuality, Viburnum Golf and Country Club is actually a nice rural golf course. The zoysia fairways are fairly lush and the ball sits up very well. The greens are small to medium size, and like many rural greens, are very flat with significant slope from back to front. And, they are slow so 3-putts will be kept to a minimum. The course is fairly easy and has no sand traps and minimal water hazards. All in all, VGCC is a respectable course and club located in the heart of Mark Twain National Forest. It is probably not worth a long drive to play but, if you are in the area, it is definitely worth playing.

The pro shop manager, Nell Kennedy, is a lovely lady and as sweet as a homemade Missouri cherry pie. She is an extraordinary representative of the course.
