Mountain Top Golf Course

Comments

Mountain Top Golf Course is a 13-hole par, 3 course with an average distance per hole of 147.  11 out of the 13 holes are less than 100 yards.  The course is simply a great, but basic par 3 course without the extreme bells and whistles you will find at Top of the Rock.  As opposed to TOR, which is a life-size mini-golf course on steroids made for Richie Rich, Mountain Top uses only available resources provided by Mother Nature.  The course meanders through, over and around the natural rock formations found on most holes.   And, the course goes to great lengths to keep it as pure as possible.  Motorized carts are prohibited, but golfers are provided with pushcarts if their bags are too heavy to carry.  As the name implies, the course sits atop a (Missouri) mountain and has beautiful vistas on most holes.  There are huge sand traps strategically placed and the tiered greens are fairly complex, with steep slopes increasing the likelihood of a few 3 putts.  I would not make a trip to Branson just to play this course, but I would certainly use it as a warm up, or cool down, for any of Big Cedar’s other amazing standard length courses.
