We rented a house in Porto Cima and played the The Club at Porto Cima at the Lake of the Ozarks a couple of times during the fall. During this time of year the course was almost breathtaking. It is a very difficult course because almost every hole is bordered by woods, so if you spray at all you are in the woods and your ball is likely lost. There is a premium for keeping your ball in the fairway. I think Porto Cima is one of the state’s best courses. . . maybe the best. It is designed by Jack Nicklaus. It is perfect in almost every way, but at this level, it is difficult to determine which is the best; each club has its strengths and weaknesses. To be the best you must be immaculately maintained, have a great design, great staff, etc. But, what Porto Cima has that very few courses in Missouri have is the views. Several holes border the lake so there are many stunning backdrops to already incredible holes. If you get the opportunity to play this club, do so.
