Ledgestone Country Club

The Ozark Mountains provide a dramatic backdrop for this Tom Clark design that weaves through native limestone bluffs and dense hardwood forests with surprising elevation changes that challenge every club in the bag. Water comes into play on half the holes, but it's the strategic bunkering around undulating bentgrass greens that separates weekend warriors from single-digit handicaps. The par-3 17th plays downhill through a chute of towering oaks to a green guarded by a creek that's claimed more Titleists than a teenager's summer job.
