Big Cedar Sample Itinerary
Day 1: Arrival and Warm-Up Round
Check in at Big Cedar and get settled into your room or cabin. Take a walk, grab a drink, and get familiar with the property.
Start the trip with a scenic round at Top of the Rock. It’s a short par-3 layout, perfect for loosening up and soaking in the views.
Dinner at Osage Restaurant, followed by drinks at Buffalo Bar. Easy night, great views, good start.
Day 2: Championship Golf and Lodge Life
Morning tee time at Payne’s Valley, the Tiger Woods design that anchors the property. Wide fairways, dramatic green sites, and the famous 19th hole finish.
Lunch at Arnie’s Barn, then take the afternoon your way. Explore the museum, go fishing, hit the spa, or kick back and relax.
Casual dinner at Buzzard Bar, or head into Branson if you’re up for a change of scenery.
Day 3: Ozarks National and Optional Bonus Round
Play Ozarks National, a Coore & Crenshaw course that brings natural elevation and clean design. It’s a strong contrast to Payne’s and a favorite for many.
Optional second round at Buffalo Ridge, with big elevation changes and a bold layout that rewards shotmakers.
Wrap it up with dinner at Devil’s Pool Restaurant, and enjoy one last night around the fire or at the bar
Day 4: Breakfast and Departure
Start slow with breakfast and a recap of the week. It’s a good time to relive the highlights and start talking about where the group wants to go next.
If there’s time, squeeze in a final 9-hole round at Top of the Rock before checkout.
Pack up and head out. You’ll leave tired, full, and already thinking about the next one.
