The editorial team at GolfPass compiled information on more than 800 golf resorts in all 50 states, and all of Branson’s golf resorts are featured prominently in the Missouri Interactive Map.
“The stunning growth of the Big Cedar Lodge the past decade has put Missouri on the map of golfers. Branson offers multiple properties with golf courses that take advantage of the beautiful outdoors,” wrote the GolfPass editorial team on the Missouri golf resorts’ home page.
Owned by NBC Universal which also owns Golf Channel and other leading industry entities, GolfPass has created the first comprehensive list of golf resorts in the country. The Missouri state map helps golfers identify and locate each resort and individual resort pages that list what type of amenities are offered.
“There’s a golf resort out there for every skill of golfer and every budget, from state parks and courses with simple cottages and cabins for accommodations to lavish five-star retreats on the ocean,” wrote the GolfPass editorial team.
