What does a Branson golf package cost?
Short answer: our Branson golf trips start from $799 per golfer for a group weekend with lodging near Table Rock Lake, three or four rounds, tee-time requests, dinner reservations and one itinerary on your phone. Trips built around Big Cedar Lodge's championship courses cost more, because public green fees there run $350 to $525 a round in peak season. Every Branson trip is custom quoted, so you only pay for the courses and house your group actually wants.

- Lodging found and booked for your group
- Dinner reservations secured
- Day-by-day itinerary on your phone
- One point of contact: text us anytime

3 nights · 4 rounds
Two-State Ozarks Trip
Two rounds in Bella Vista, Arkansas and two in Branson, with a night on each side. About two hours between them.
from $799/golfer
One premium course is included. Every Branson package price includes one premium course: Payne's Valley, Ozarks National, Buffalo Ridge or Cliffhangers. You're welcome to play more than one. Because tee times at these courses carry high green fees on their own, each added premium round raises your trip price by that course's current rate for your dates, and your quote shows the adjusted price before you book.
Prices are per golfer before applicable taxes; your quote shows your exact all-in price for your dates and group size. Ozark Golf Getaways is an independent planner and is not affiliated with Big Cedar Lodge or any course.
How much are green fees at Big Cedar Lodge?
Big Cedar Lodge lists these 2026 public green fees (rates change, so we confirm current rates for your dates):
| Course | Type | Peak Apr 13–Oct 25 | Shoulder Mar 6–Apr 12, Oct 26–Dec 6 | Off-season |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Payne's Valley | 18 + par-3 19th | from $525 | $275 | $215 |
| Ozarks National | 18 holes | from $350 | $215 | Closed |
| Buffalo Ridge | 18 holes | from $350 | $215 | Closed |
| Cliffhangers | 18-hole par 3 | from $275 | $200 | $185 |
| Top of the Rock | 9-hole par 3 | $150 | $130 | $100 |
| Mountain Top | 13 holes, walking | $120 | $80 | $65 |
Money tip: the shoulder season (late October to early December, and March to mid-April) cuts Big Cedar green fees roughly in half. A fall or early-spring trip is the best-value way to play Payne's Valley. Resort guests also get lower rates when booking by phone. Compare the courses in our Big Cedar golf courses guide.
What are the best-value golf courses in Branson?
Not every round needs to be a bucket-list round. Branson's public courses keep a group trip affordable:
Thousand Hills
An 18-hole, par-64 course in the middle of Branson with bentgrass greens and zoysia fairways; carts are included in the green fee. A relaxed, quick round for mixed-ability groups.
Pointe Royale
A long-running Branson public course and an easy pick for a first round after you arrive.
Branson Hills
A full-length public 18 with hilly Ozark terrain.
Rates at these courses change by season and day. We confirm current rates when we build your plan.
How far ahead can you book Branson tee times?
This is where most groups get stuck. As of October 2026, Big Cedar Lodge lists these windows for golfers who are not staying at the resort:
- Payne's Valley and Cliffhangers: up to 14 days ahead for mid-April to late-October tee times, up to 30 days ahead from late October to mid-April.
- Ozarks National, Buffalo Ridge, Top of the Rock and Mountain Top: up to 30 days ahead, or 60 days ahead for June 15 to August 15 tee times.
- Resort guests book by phone with priority, which is why we often recommend Big Cedar lodging for groups set on Payne's Valley.
Specific tee times are not guaranteed. Branson-area courses, including Big Cedar Lodge, limit how far ahead non-guests and the public can book, and resort guests get priority. We request your preferred courses and times as soon as each course's booking window opens, but specific tee times, courses and rates are not guaranteed until the course confirms them. If your first choice isn't available, we'll offer the closest available time or a comparable course.

Where should a golf group stay in Branson?
Table Rock Lake rental homes give a group one house with room to hang out, usually for less per person than resort rooms. Big Cedar Lodge, including its Payne's Valley Cottages, costs more but gives you resort-guest tee-time priority and phone booking at guest rates. We send you two or three lodging options that fit your group and budget.
Add-ons for Branson trips
Club rental or shipping and custom logo gear are available for Branson trips now. Private drivers, cigar lounge nights, private chefs, XNA airport transfers, in-house massage, lessons, brewery tours, non-golf days and photographers are currently Arkansas trips only, but ask and we will look into local options.
Questions
How much does a Branson golf trip cost per person?
Our Branson trips start from $799 per golfer, including lodging, rounds and planning. The base price includes one premium course (Payne's Valley, Ozarks National, Buffalo Ridge or Cliffhangers). Each added premium round raises the price by that course's current rate, since peak public green fees there run $350 to $525 per round. Every Branson trip is custom quoted.
When is the cheapest time to golf Big Cedar Lodge?
Shoulder season, from about March 6 to April 12 and October 26 to December 6, when Big Cedar's listed public green fees are roughly half the peak rates.
Can the public play Big Cedar Lodge courses?
Yes. Big Cedar courses are open to the public, but non-guests have shorter booking windows than resort guests, so specific tee times are not guaranteed until the course confirms.
How far ahead can we book Payne's Valley?
Non-resort guests can book up to 14 days ahead for mid-April to late-October tee times and up to 30 days ahead the rest of the year. Resort guests book by phone with priority.

About two hours by car, which makes a two-state Ozarks golf trip easy.
What airport do we fly into for Branson?
Branson Airport (BKG) or Springfield-Branson National (SGF), depending on flights.
