Big Cedar Lodge The “19th hole” can take different meanings at different golf courses. At some, it refers to an actual extra hole: typically a fun, par 3 bet-settler of sorts after the standard 18 holes. Perhaps more commonly, it’s popular terminology for the bar, grill room or any post-round gathering spot where golfers can grab a drink.

At Big Cedar Lodge in the Ozarks of Missouri, they’ve combined both at the resort’s newest course designed by Tiger Woods. A new bar has been added steps away from the tee box of the dramatic closing hole at Payne’s Valley, adding even more “juice” to a thrilling finale. The layout boasts one of the most memorable physical 19th holes in golf, with an island green in a pond at the base of a limestone wall about 150 feet below the clubhouse.

There’s also a new elevated tee box with a short walking bridge to the bar along with a new waterfall feature that showcases the limestone cliff.

The enhancements add to the incredible setting around the 19th hole, where recently added golf cottages (complete with a backyard putting green) on the cliffside overlook the course. Payne’s Valley, which plays down and through a valley on one side of the Mountain Top clubhouse, is an homage to pro golfer Payne Stewart, the Missouri resident and three-time major championship winner who died in a 1999 plane crash.
