Overall Rating: 4.3
-This is a really fun course. The lines are always interesting and call for a wide variety of shots.
-There is a good pro shop here. They are very friendly. I believe I saw Innova, Discraft, Latitude 64, Dynamic Discs, Kastaplast, and I'm sure there were more, but I forget. They also have a selection of used discs as well a decent selection of loaner discs.
-The baskets are very nice.
-It was easy to find my way around this course. There are signs pointing to the next tee on every hole along with very informative and accurate tee signs.
-I haven't played the Pink course yet, but it's nice that they have it for a quick/easier round

-This course is a little rough around the edges, and there are some spots that could get tough in the summer.
-Because of the rugged nature of the course, it could pose a safety risk for some people

-To the tune of "Richmond is a Hard Road to Travel".
Would you like to hear my song,
I'm afraid it's rather long,
Of the (famous?) Branson Trails double trouble?
Of a half a dozen slips,
And a full dozen trips,
And the very loud bursting of my bubble.

'Tis a rugged course to play,
On that fateful day,
I fear my base plastic discs got rather flippy,
So, to all who Branson go,
This thing you need to know,
That the Blue Course is a hard road to travel.

Then pull off your coat, and roll up your sleeves,
For the Blue Course is a hard road to travel,
Then pull off your coat, and roll up your sleeves,
For the Blue Course is a hard road to travel I believe.

The first tee, it bodes ill,
On a large downward hill,
The very definition of "scary"
Alas, my drive, it hit a tree,
And my disc I couldn't see,
For it was rolling all the way to Londonderry!

Looking at the second pin,
It filled me with chagrin,
For the fairway led again a downhill path,
Thus, my throw had no control,
I took the double bogey toll,
And the course began to really show its wrath.

Then pull off your coat, and roll up your sleeves,
For downhill is a hard road to travel,
I tried to toss it low, but the gaps I could not weave,
For the Blue Course is a hard road to travel I believe.

It seemed, though I tried my best,
My scores wouldn't come to rest,
Even close to anywhere near par'd,
I could almost celebrate,
When three holes past hole eight,
A bogey I took on the card.

The twelfth hole gave me hope,
"If I birdie I could cope,
For this hole is under two hundred feet,"
I didn't, for you see,
Yet again I hit a tree,
At that point I knew I had been beat.

Then pull off your coat, and roll up your sleeves,
For The front nine is a hard road to travel,
My score got very high,
But I was glad to make it through,
For the Blue Course is a hard road to travel, mind you!

We played all eighteen links,
And like an age-old Sphinx,
This course is one Regal beast,
My enjoyment was immense,
And though it may have been tense,
It was a true disc golfer's feast.

I can't say enough,
Though it was at times rough,
About the lines and shot selection,
This Course is a must hike,
Although I wouldn't bring your tyke,
For the ravine isn't really a confection!

Then pull off your coat, and roll up your sleeves,
For the Blue Course is a fun road to travel,
We had a lot of laughs, and I'd stay for a while,
For the Blue Course is a fun road to travel, every mile!

* Top notch equipment. Baskets are all in great shape and catch well. Tee pads were solid if unspectacular. There were a couple of holes that could have used a little longer pads, but over all they were sufficiently long and they must have been a bear to install on such hilly terrain.
* Hole design- You can tell that the designer took their time and thoughtfully laid out the course. There are no real filler holes. A couple of ace runs but I don't mind 2 of those out of 18 holes. 4 Multi-shot par fours add to the experience.
* Aesthetic- Natural beauty surrounds you while you are out on the course. It is tranquil and serene and you feel far away from everything else.
*Navigation- Plenty of navigational aids in the form of arrows on trees and the next tee listed on each tee sign. The only transition we questioned was from 17 to 18.

* Safety concerns are never too far away here, and ultimately prevent me from rating this course any higher. I played in a foursome and there was plenty of slipping and sliding from even the most surefooted among us on the rocky terrain. I came very close to falling backwards down a hill but just caught myself. The footing is poor in places, especially the holes nearer to the house (1-4, 16-17). On hole 16, I had to hold onto a rope in order to throw my circle's edge putt. Had I not held the rope, I would have kept sliding down toward the ravine. At least the rope was there...
* Hole shapes- There are so many holes that finish to the right that it gets a little redundant, especially on the front 9. I am normally about a 30% RHFH guy, but I threw over 75% forehands here.
* $10 pay to play is minimal but some may find the amount offensive. I was much more concerned about the waiver you are required to sign. Scary stuff!
* Course does not return to the parking lot until you have completed all 18 holes. This does not affect my rating.

We visited the pro shop after our round. It had some discs, but was far from well stocked. It had a lost and found section in it, into which I dropped the unmarked Corvette I found. That is a nice touch. The water jug was a welcome sight at the end of the round as well.

This is a well-executed rugged Ozark mountain course. It is not for the feint of heart. Don't even think about bringing a cart here. But it excels in providing a beautiful setting and some unique and challenging disc golf. The most similar course I have played is Panther Creek State Park in eastern Tennessee. Branson Trails has steeper slopes overall but they had a similar feel. I rate it an excellent course; hence the 4 disc rating.

The Blue course boasts a bountiful bundle of some of the best Disc Golf bliss in the Branson borough. Maintenance is pristine, design is amazing, and no one will leave here unchallenged. There's a lot to say here, so let's get down to business.

The course starts off great. The pro shop is available, the first tee is scenic, there's a flat and grassy putting green (which says something because this course doesn't have a lot of grass or flat areas), and you can easily play the Pink course first if you want, which I recommend if you have time.

There are a few really scenic shots. Hole 16 has an awesome green with a wall at the back, and is a fun hole to run the ace, but a bad kick on an errant shot will have you scrambling for bogey. You throw straight downhill on hole 6 through a wide tunnel, and a great shot will look amazing (though I think the tee should be in the middle of the tunnel, not off to the side). There are valley shots (holes 3, 6, 8, 14), where your disc is way above the ground.

While this is a super wooded course, there are a few somewhat open holes to balance things out. There's a nice big meadow on holes 5 and 10 (they play back-to-back), and there's some room to work with on a few others. Even on the wooded holes it doesn't feel like there's too much lost disc potential; there's not a lot of underbrush, and you can usually see a long way. There are plenty of places where an unlucky kick could send you far down a hill, but you can usually have a good idea of where your disc ended up.

The downhill holes are a lot of fun here. I've already talked about hole 6, but you also have to watch your distance on holes 2 and 11 especially. Even on hole 8, you may have to lay up short of a cliff or choose a spicy aggressive shot over a valley. Hole 13 finishes uphill, but taking advantage of the downhill start will help you get to the corner so you can make the dogleg on your second or third shot.

There are multiple options on how to throw on nearly every hole. Quite often, the right-turning shot is the more aggressive line, but if the disc fades left, you'll be in trouble (or vice-versa). Hole 15 presents you with a multitude of gaps (you can't see the basket from the tee; you should probably aim left), Hole 3 has large gaps on either side of some super tall trees, and several holes give you options of whether to crash into the green or throw a controlled straight shot.

The fairways are rocky, frequently uneven, and often treacherous, especially if it's a little wet. If you don't trip often and are careful, you'll be fine, but this place is certainly an intense trek. You've been warned.

The par 4's don't add a lot here, in my opinion. They're all uphill to some extent (two are incredibly uphill and not really all that exciting), so they're a similar distance to most of the par 3's. However, a few par 3's could play like par 4 (holes 6, 8, and 18), and the difficulty of the holes does vary, so you're never feeling bored with repetition.

The basket can't be seen from the tee on a lot of holes. It was often needed to make the design work, and the design does work, but on this course especially, running up to find the basket is incredibly difficult, and will tire you out even more. With skip shots, long glides, and thick woods in play, making a correct decision on how to throw can be important. Even on holes that don't play far uphill or around a dogleg, you're sometimes throwing a bit blind (holes 3, 10, and 11).

The course doesn't loop back by the start at all, but there are water coolers near a central point near the tees of 6 and 10, and if you really want to, you can drive down El Monte Rd and park near several tees (though that might be frowned upon, and if you do, make sure you pay first).

Some may not be happy with having to pay to play here, but I guarantee the money is worth it. And you can trust your dollars are being put to good use.

The tee signs claim how much elevation you gain/lose on each hole, but those numbers are completely unreliable. Roughly speaking, multiply the number you see by 3 to 4 to get a more accurate estimate.

No alternate pins, but who cares on a course as epic and difficult as this.

I loved the trails that traversed the hills winding through the woods just outside of Branson. The slopes get wild in places, and they are commonly packed with trees. If you miss the lines, there can be serious repercussions.

Concrete tees and good signs, with blue topped Innova baskets are in nice shape. I would guess that it is rare to find this course crowded. It does have a pro shop on site, and Teddy (who recently bought the property) was really friendly and helpful.

The first tee gives a good idea of what is in store for you the rest of the way. Downhill slope offering a tricky, narrow line through the woods. It's left to right, and drops off significantly if you miss left. It isn't super long, but it's not short either.

Not every hole has this sort of difficulty. A couple are short and have good birdie potential. Some have less crowded fairways, or at least a wider path to the basket. I would qualify every hole remaining from the original layout as consistently high quality. Course design has a lot of diversity, very well thought out to emphasize an array of shots. Most of the transitions between holes are easy to follow, and you can pick up a map in the pro shop.

Layout has changed from the linked map. 6-9 are no longer in the mix, and the new holes are a safari style mix of tees and baskets on the 9 hole pink course. The signs are remnants of the old layout, and the makeup holes are not well marked. Updating or supplementing signage would make it easier to navigate the final four that were tacked on. These holes are way more open, and not of the same caliber of the rest of the course.

The hillsides are covered with gravel in places, making them very treacherous. Pay attention to your footing and proceed with caution. OG 16 approach is the most sketchy footing, the rest is better, but watch your step.

I've had this course on the radar for a long time, and I wish I had made the trip sooner so I could play it in the first incarnation. 14 holes that are still in play are well worth the visit. While the remainder of the new 18 hole layout didn't fit vibe, it is pretty good all the same. I had to drop a half point from my rating, but I would play it again.

The pink 9 hole course is more of a beginner friendly loop, that is also pretty fun. Together, the Branson Trails make a great spot to spend a day throwing the plastic around.

I love the terrain here. Bad bounces can take you far off the optimal route, but when you hit a perfect line it feels great. Recovery shots can save your scorecard. Maybe the roughest footing I have stepped foot on anywhere is on the old 16th hole, or old 17 if you miss to the right of the fairway. Wear good shoes.

Comparable courses are Dragon Ridge in Camdenton, or Hanna Hills in Laquey.

I managed a 59 on the round(+1), with 4 birdies and 5 bogies. It was not easy, and I might have played the wrong baskets on the pink portion.

This was my 62nd course i've played. This is a must play for any skill level as long as you don't mind the hike. Beautiful fairways, no highway noise, seating on almost every tee box, well marked but bring a map along with plenty of water and food. Great lower body work out. If you could play there twice a week you could easily play anywhere. Top notch course, well worth the green fee.

Hard to think of any. Parking might be an issue during big tournaments, but not sure.

If its raining be careful, some inclines are steep and could be slick when wet.

The amount of up keep involved is mind boggling. Hats off to the two locals I met said they worked out there year round, very cool people!

Challenging holes with lots of risk/reward opportunities
Course demands a variety of shots
Well designed tee signs on every hole
Solid tee pads
Excellent use of terrain
Dedicated staff

Elevation changes on some tee signs appear to be inaccurate
Tripping/Slipping hazards - loose gravel and wet rocks
Too physically demanding for some players
Not cart friendly
Excessively punishes rollaways
Blind shots - spotters highly recommended

Definitely a must-play course if you're anywhere near the area. The Full Turn team is putting their blood, sweat, and tears into this course and it definitely shows. They were extremely welcoming and I was fortunate enough to play with a local guide who could show me the ins and outs of the course. This is a physically demanding course that requires you to throw every shot you have. The course layout is extremely challenging, but also fair with clearly defined lines.

The only thing holding me back from going above a 4-disc rating is that this is still a course in the progress of being built. There are still areas with steep grades, loose gravel, and slick rocks that you need to be mindful of from a safety perspective. Make sure you're up on the abandoned throw rules - on a couple of holes an unlucky tree kick can result in, literally, 150' rollaways.

I had a great time at Branson Trails, both playing the course as well as receiving a great welcome from the staff. Once the course is completely finished with the safety issues being addressed I could easily see this course rating in the top-50, if not higher, on DGCR.

-Good tee pads and signage as well as visible next tee signs.
-Elevation in play on every hole.
-Physically and mentally challenging.
-Gorgeous views and setting.
-Highly visible blue baskets.
-Excellent mix of hole variety. Every hole is unique to the course. There are some really cool basket placements on a couple of holes as well as a few elevated pins.
-The course doubles as a great hike as well. You will get winded on a couple of occasions if you are not used to hiking up and down large hills. Make sure to bring lots of snacks and water during hotter months.

-First and foremost, there are safety issues galore at this course mainly due to the terrain and gazillion of ankle rolling rocks all over the place. I can see now why everyone that plays here must sign a waiver. Second dangerous course I have ever played next to Diamond X in Billings, MT. My feet slipped out from under me on the loose rocky terrain walking down the fairway of the first hole. It definitely left me a little on edge for the rest of my round. Be very mindful of your footing on this property as there is a chance for injury on most holes if you aren't cautious.
-This is not a beginner or kid friendly course at all.
-No alternate tees, but I noticed a few alternate pin locations since my last visit a little over a year ago.
-No restrooms or porta-johns to be found on the course, although I am sure there is a bathroom to use at the house/pro-shop.
-Having played much better pay-to-play courses with better facilities at half the entrance fee, the $10/person cost feels a little steep.
-A couple of holes are in need of some maintenance trimming.
-Some blind pin placements.
-The rocky terrain will chew up discs, so you might not want to use your favorite throwers.
-Poor starting and finishing holes with holes 1 and 18. The tee for hole 1 is located right next to a kennel with two large dogs that bark non stop. There is a practice basket and trampoline with a net below the tee area and in/near the fairway for hole 1 and 18s basket is situated just off to the left. So, you get to start and finish your round by getting barked at loudly.
-I have a few design issues with some holes, the biggest one being hole 6. I feel this was a missed opportunity to have a nice long downhill hole with a view. Instead the tee is tucked off to the right forcing a left to right shot through a gap to blind pin placement. I absolutely love everything about this hole except for the tee location. Holes 8, 15, and 18 don't feel like they execute they way they are meant to. These holes force too tight of lines to have a fair ratio rate for birdies. Luck outweighs skill on these holes.
-Tons of broken glass throughout the course.
-Lots of ticks and mosquitoes.
-Not sure when the pro shop operates, but it has been closed each time I have played here.

I struggled a bit with what I would consider a proper rating for this course. I played this course in the winter, and again in late spring on an 85° day. I initially gave it a 3.5, but edged it back down to a 3 due to the extreme terrain of the course; it's just not very enjoyable to play on such a rough and loose landscape. I have played quite a few mountain courses and never felt as on edge as walking around this property makes me feel. The course is very fun and challenging and definitely a must-play for the Branson area. However, the safety issues and some design aspects will keep it from achieving a higher rating from me, as well as the $10 cost to play. Overall though, it's the safety issues that will keep it from being rated higher as it is hard to fully enjoy a round when I am constantly having to watch my step. All in all, this course was a very memorable experience.

Very clean well defined lines for a heavily wooded course. Good length. Super technical throws force you to disc down often.

How about a pay box? Great course, the effort to install and upkeep is obvious.

Read Armillers' review; that sums it up and its hard to add anything to it. This is a jaw-dropping course that Jaysin spent over 300,000$ and years to create and it shows. Of the 317 courses I've played, only Hillcrest on Prince Edward Island can compare. Beautiful views, large Tpads , signs with next-hole arrows and grand fairways with no poke n hope holes. I finished it in 2 1/2 hours while wasting 20 min or so hunting for discs, and I'm 58 and weigh 282 but not pure fat , so my point is if I played it, so can you , dont be afraid of the terrain. It was maybe 70 degrees and I was soaked in sweat when done.You may not want to play when really hot. An epic course that challenges you on every hole. You'll feel a real sense of accomplishment when you hole out on 18.

This is not for Goobis-McNoobises and huckers. If you don't have a spotter for some of the blind drive holes, you may spend a lot of time hunting for discs.

This is to disc golfers what St. Andrews is to ball golfers. There are very few courses in the world that have the charm, challenge, variety, and Wow factor of this one. If you're at least an intermediate player and are still debating if you should play here, stop. Make it a Must-Play . even if you live 500 miles away.

This is a challenging Ozark Mt. terrain course. Each hole has its own character? You will use most shots you "have in your bag". I actually used my "rusty" side arm to good effect on several holes. I will definitely want to play this course again.

Do not take an inexperienced player with you unless you can deal with frustration well. Also, my Fitbit says I covered 65 flights of stairs and about 9,500 steps. This course is physically challenging. I would not recommend a DG cart. Take plenty of water; I don't remember seeing a drinkable water source on the course.

I definitely recommend this course. It is new and needs to mature but that should only make it better.

-well maintained (though I'm sure it's tough to keep that way... thank you!) and in perfect conditions when I played
-well designed, with appealing and helpful tee signs giving elevation change in addition to distance; makes very good use of its uphill and downhill shots, the beautiful trees, and also a creek bed (or two) running through the course - I've played courses with elevation and wooded courses, but nothing with this combination of the two
-good tee pads (not the super long ones, but I didn't have any problem with run-up)
-amazingly beautiful terrain! and plenty of shady trees
-will use every shot in your bag even if you don't get off the fairways; if you do, even more shots are needed for the scramble; I like overhands and used a couple, but I was very pleased that there are few opportunities to laugh at the course designer by going over the top; I recall one hole (3) where an overhand might have worked through a gap in the leafy canopy, but the risk/reward balance leaned way too heavily on the risk side, and my Leopard got me pin-high just fine
*I'd be interested to see a backhand or forehand dominant player here;
-holes, while "thematic," were never repetitive; someone asked me how many "wow holes" there were, but I can only think of two or three that were not "wow" in some way; all seemed fair to me and presented a particular challenge; fairways were not excessively narrow or so full of trees that there was no line; none of the holes seemed like fillers

I could describe each hole, but I'll spare you:
2: test your finesse downhill game with a wooded downhill shot
6: long hole where a par 3 feels like a birdie; significantly downhill, out of a tunnel into a right turning fairway to a creek bed (almost totally dry when I was there)
7: uphill par 4 with strategically placed "doh!" trees and the basket placed behind some initial guardian trees and then some closer trees on the green
8: another tweener that's called a par 3; initial mild downhill, then dogleg to another creek crossing fairway/tunnel
13: par 4 initially running along creek (running water here) with a nice landing zone, then across a fairly open stretch to a wooded hillside green
16: very makeable shot over a ravine; not a ridiculous ravine, but there is a rope to help you get up to the green if you need it

Summary: This is very good terrain for a course and great use of both its woods and elevation. This is not just a course where someone bought some baskets for his backyard. This is clearly not Jaysin's first design, and it was clear to me that he both takes pride in this course and understands what it takes to challenge disc golfers. He told me that par is a 1000-rated round, and I would be hard pressed to disagree.

-not a ton of amenities, though I didn't look real hard (e.g. restrooms in the middle of the course)
-I walked ahead on at least 3 holes to see the basket even with the signs
-navigation was aided by signs on most holes, but not all; I had the map on my phone, and trails were quite clear, so I had no problems with navigation
-terrain is rough in places; I'm guessing this is typical of the Ozarks in slightly higher elevation; this course has a decent amount of shale with some limestone as well, as opposed to larger creeks and rivers with grassy hillsides
-shoe choice is important! My all-terrain cross trainers were fine, but I can see many players preferring hiking boots here
-relative scarcity of grassy fairways/greens means discs get some bumps and bruises; this is a great course for Z/Champion plastic
-I'm really searching for cons, so laugh if you must: there were a few mosquitoes but I could count them on my fingers and maybe a few toes; really not bad at all during my June round, so I didn't break out the bug spray and still didn't get a bite

I don't usually review courses after only playing once, but I had to make an exception after getting a good round in and sizing up this new course. Often I breeze through a course the first time, but I took my time and gave this one my best shot. I'm in my lower 30s, in decent shape, and love the outdoors. The terrain of this course was a big part of why I loved it so much, but, yes, it is very physically demanding and you should bring snacks/water aplenty. I can also see why safety can be a concern and why a waiver is required. As far as my skill level, I'm an intermediate player with a decent all around game. I shot a 62 (4 over) on this course with one mulligan and am very proud of that score. I left a few strokes out there, but I bet I would average at least 3-6 strokes higher with multiple rounds. I brought my A-game and got some good bounces. I saved par on 6 with a Polecat throw-in to follow a scrappy Firebird thumber from the bushes. A hero Buzzz forehand saved par on 8 by hitting a cool downhill to uphill line across the creek bed. I'll stop there, but I was very fortunate on several holes to bounce back into the fairway or to have decent lines from bad spots. My point is that it could have been lots worse. These repeated opportunities/requirements for difficult shots made it a very challenging but rewarding round.

Thanks to other reviews and to conversations with a local player, I knew what I was getting into. 20oz Powerade, 1L water, and some other snacks were enough to get me through the round in 2.5-3 hours. I did find myself resting more than usual between holes, and snacked/hydrated way more than usual during a round. It was tiring, but well worth it. As a side note, the course homepage made it easy to reserve a tee time and also to sign the waiver before playing.

As I said, every shot in your bag will be used and tested. A local told me to leave the drivers at home, but I used a speed 13 (hole 5) and a speed 10 (hole 6) and was glad to have a couple in the bag. Other than that, fairways, midranges, and putters ruled the day. My Comet and Leopard were frequent flyers, and my Polecat and Buzzz were indispensable in the scramble game. As I mentioned earlier, my Firebird was useful on a couple overhand tee shots and for a couple scrambles. I played the Pink 9-hole course before playing the Blue course, and that provided the perfect opportunity to warm up my arm and get a small foretaste of the sloped/wooded terrain.

Rating discussion: I am fundamentally opposed to giving perfect scores, but part of the reason I'm writing this review is that I was already telling myself it was the best course I've played after finishing hole 2. That didn't change at any point during the round. I would probably give it a 4.8, because navigation is not perfect (although I didn't get lost) and it may not have the amenities some disc golfers desire. Nevertheless, this is really a special course. On the day I played, I can't imagine how conditions could have been better in terms of both nature and upkeep. I had no problem with the safety, navigation, or anything else, and the cons only amount to this being a more tiring 18 than most of us are used to. I'm comfortable saying this was the most fun I've had playing disc golf, and this was my 89th course played. This isn't a course for your "afternoon in the park" round, but WOW it's a blast!

Well taken care of.
Tee pads in great shape.
good signs.
Great baskets.
Elevation, woods, expert only course.
One of the best i have ever seen.
Water barrels at holes.
Pro shop on site.
Sign wavier (you could die here) and pay $10 per person.
Well worth a day of fantastic golf.

No cons:
Below items are just nature of the beast.
Do not bring a pull cart.
You are in the ozark hills, and i do mean hills. ...and then more hills.
Please make sure you are in physical shape. Wear hiking shoes. Wear long socks. Plan on whole day of golf.

Experts only!
You need to be in pysical shape to play this course.
Plan on 4 hours minimum to play.
Bring water,energy bars and gatorade.
Do not drink beer or smoke shrubs...you will die. Save it for the parking lot afterwords.
Land owner has done a fantastic job of building a woods course.
Bucket list round of golf if you can handle the elevation and terrain.

Very challenging course. If you can par this, you have skill. Everything on this course is top notch. Natural springs, giant boulders, well groomed canopy, highly maintained everything, awesome tee pads...just a few mentions that make this course look like it popped right out of a nature lover's Calendar. Every hole has its own personality, and challenges. Very fun though.

It might not be where you want to play if you aren't ready for a hike. the pathways aren't steep, but expect to get through it at least a bit tired... 100% worth it.

One bad throw on this can really rack up the strokes. Makes it all that much more fun, and I cant wait to get back!

Had the luxury of playing this course and was very impressed with everything the property had to offer. The shorter "pink" course provides an ample place to throw some short mid-range shots and get warmed up before tackling the blue course. Starting on the blue course you are immediately inundated with the two most common features on the course, well defined fairways and constant elevation changes. Every hole has some form of elevation change, whether straight up/down, slopes left/right, up and over a ridge, or down and back up a valley. Hole four is a prime example of an up and over a ridge with a constant right to left slope as well. At times the elevation is extreme in both throwing downhill and conversely uphill. Most all of the wooded fairways featured freshly grown grass under the canopy that appeared to take root even in the shady conditions. This provided a fresh feeling to the fairways so that you know exactly where the fairways lead. Exposed outcrops are featured nicely on several holes. Primarily these are around the greens such as holes two, three, thirteen, and sixteen. Each hole has a unique character compared to the last and you never feel like you're throwing the same shot twice in a row off the tee. The blue baskets stick out nicely among the green vegetation and are easily visible on most holes (unless obstructed by extreme elevation). The concrete pads were adequately grippy with plenty of breathing room around them for a little extra run up, if that's your thing. Several holes had benches and Jaysin was actually installing more while I was playing.

With as extreme as some of the elevation is this can be a safety hazard if you are not prepared. Hole 8 has a wooden grab rail to help you down the slope, and hole 16 has a large rope going down the slope away from the green but even with this, the ground can be slippery and loose rock/gravel is abundant. I would urge wearing solid hiking shoes/boots. As mentioned in the positives, there are benches on some holes but not all. I'm sure this will be fixed in the future but take note that there are some spots without a bench. I don't refer to this as a con but there aren't any trash cans on the course. If you're going to disrespect the course and litter you might as well go throw it at Jaysin's feet and own up to it. There are some spots where there are currently no directional signs after you finish a hole but this will be corrected in the future. If the course is wet from a recent rain, be prepared to use both hands for balance going up and down several of the slopes. This isn't really a con unless you fall and get muddy.

This is a gem of a course and will only get better with the continually added amenities Jaysin and company are putting in. The course has been in development for about three years and once you see how much earth work has been completed just so you can walk down several of the fairways, you'll appreciate it that much more. With the pink beginner course on site as well you can enjoy 27 holes of golf in one stop and will leave exhausted. Already can't wait to come back to tackle this course again.

New course.
Baskets are very nice.
Tee pads are amazing - concrete or decks.
Tee signs are nice and informative.
Basket placements are great with multiple pin locations on some of the holes.
Great elevation change.
Disc shop on site.
Property is clean and very well maintained.
Easy access at the corner of Hwy. 248 & the High Road.
Challenging but rewarding course.

Physically demanding but worth it.

This property has 2 courses on site - 9-hole and 18-hole course. It's a brand new course and the property is absolutely beautiful. I don't think there is a comparable course to it in the area. Jaysin and the crew have put in a lot of man hours and hard work to make this a one of a kind property - you guys rock! If you are in the Branson area, you will definitely want to check this place out! Bring a lot of water.

Physically Demanding
No enough standing room for large groups on all t box areas
Off the fairway will most likely be a stand still shot.

Nothing to compare to, this is a must play if your looking for a challenge. Book your t time today

Nice teepads and visible blue baskets.
Fair lines for a heavily wooded course.
Extreme elevation!
Very challenging course that makes you think about your shot.

Teepads need more cleared and flat areas behind them for people to stand. It got crowded very easily in our group around the teepads. I'm guessing this will be corrected as the course is still very new in the ground.

Your disc can go way off course with any tree hit on a lot of the holes. This isn't really a "con" but you should be aware of this if you plan on playing Branson Trails.

This is a must play course if you are in the Branson area. Amazing property and a really fun course! Remember to bring plenty of water and snacks as you won't be anywhere near your car once you start your round and the course is very physically demanding.

Every hole is unique, challenging, and beautiful. So many hours have made this course possible. This course is what Missouri wooded courses should be. Outstanding use of land and hole design.

Physically demanding course. Bring lots of water!

Being so close to 65, and just north of Branson; the course is a must play.

The course is incredible. Each hole is a unique challenge. The guys who built this course have put in so much work to get this course done. The course is very challenging. The scenery is unlike anything you see on a typical disc golf course.

Good elevation change
Great baskets
Multiple pin positions on holes
Good tee pads
Very challenging but fair holes.
Easy to get to from HWY 65.

The course is pretty physically demanding
Not a cart friendly course

If you are in the Branson area, you need to stop and play! You will not play another course like this! This course is incredible. Bring good hiking shoes and lots of water/snacks!
