Buffalo Ridge Springs Golf Course

Overview: Buffalo Ridge Springs is an 18-hole public course at Big Cedar Lodge near Hollister. Tom Fazio's redesigned Ozarks layout plays to par 71 and 7,036 yards from the back tees, threading native grasses, rock formations, creeks, lakes and waterfalls through the property.

History: The course began as Branson Creek, designed by Fazio in 1999. After Johnny Morris acquired the property in 2013, Morris and Fazio rebuilt and reopened the current Buffalo Ridge layout in June 2014; the course received another reopening after renovation in June 2025.

Did You Know? North American bison graze beside the fairways, a living feature that gives Buffalo Ridge its name and reflects Big Cedar's nature-focused approach to golf.
