Are you ready for a golf road trip? If so, then Branson, MO needs to be at the top of your list.
Most golfers in the southeast can easily reach Branson with a one-day drive. So hop in the car and treat yourself to a spectacular golf experience.
The Branson area features ten public access courses, with five of them among the Top 10 in Missouri, including the Top 4 Courses in the Show Me State.
Roughly 10,000,000 travelers visited the Branson area in 2021. Many of them were golfers who were treated to one of the best golf destinations in the United States.
“The numbers don’t lie, and this is why Branson is increasingly appealing to so many people who aren’t flying currently but don’t want to sacrifice their summer vacations and golf getaways,” said Lynn Berry, Explore Branson Director of Communications.
Along with great golf, Branson features live entertainment theaters, glistening lakes, and a host of family friendly activities. All the courses are conveniently located, and just a short drive from all the area’s lodging options.
Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Tom Fazio, and the Coore & Crenshaw Design Team are among the legendary course architects of some of Branson’s best courses.
Branson is ideally suited for a golf buddy trip, or a getaway for the entire family. If you’re looking to hit the road and hit the links, then Branson is a “must visit” destination.
