Missouri, USA
Big Cedar Lodge in the Missouri Ozarks has quietly assembled one of the most remarkable collections of golf courses at a single resort in the world. Johnny Morris — the Bass Pro Shops founder and conservation visionary — recruited Tiger Woods, Tom Fazio, Jack Nicklaus, and Gary Player to design courses across his sprawling lakeside property. Payne's Valley is Tiger's first public course design, and it's every bit as good as the hype suggests. The remote Ozarks setting, lakeside lodge atmosphere, and sheer variety make this an unmissable American original.
Best time to visit: April – June, September – October
