- Payne’s Valley at Big Cedar Lodge is a resort golf destination, located in the Ozark Mountains in beautiful Missouri. There are 5 golf courses on property that all have different characteristics to make each hole challenging and very unique in their own regard.. Payne’s valley is the newest course on property, opened in 2020; this course is absolutely breathtaking. The Tiger Woods design plays to 7,200 yards from the “Tiger Tee’s”. The severe slope and elevation, takes very precise tee shots and approach shots in order to score well. There are many holes on the course that could be considered the “signature hole”, but all the hype about the course builds up to the 19th hole at Payne’s Valley. This island green, carved out of the rock formations presents an intimidating tee shot; but will be rewarded with a good tee shot creating great opportunities for aces and birdies. Payne’s Valley is definitely a bucket list golfing adventure!
