There's just no pleasing you people sometimes. Vernon, please don't come. Vernon stay away. Vernon please go home. Vernon please make it stop. Vernon, Vernon, Vernon! I could go on and on. Tell you what. I'll see what I can do about getting you a little rain tomorrow night but no promises. I can't just flick this thing off and on like a light switch ya' know! HOWEVER, I do have tee times booked for a week from Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday so that'll be a bit of a challenge.🤷♂️ Johnsfolly, cheesemaster, FishnDave and 1 other 1 3

All three rounds are during the aerification recovery period so the prices are a bit more palatable. A bit. Still outrageous but better. IN FACT, we BOTH stand to save $265! EACH!

All are really good layouts and are always in superb condition. The scenery is great and the customer service is over the top. We usually go to Mountain Top (which is an amazing 13 hole par 3 course by the way) for breakfast or lunch beforehand and make a day of it. We've done the aerification recovery deal several times now and all but once the greens were already so good you could barely tell that they'd been punched. Nonetheless I admit that it's pretty hefty price tag for a round of golf but we really enjoy it. And we justify it due to the fact we only do it a couple of times each year and most importantly we're old and going to be dead soon so why not? Don't know how many years we have left to be able to this stuff at all so we figure we'd best do it now. I honestly don't know what most people down there that like to play do for golf. Branson Hills is up to $139 now and I'd rather go bowling than play The Pointe, Holiday Hills or Thousand Hills. And I don't bowl. We used to drive up to Rivercut once per trip but it seems like the last three or four years it's either been under water or hosting tournaments. And by the way I apologize for hijacking your excellent post! techo and big c 2 "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups."

Another fine example of Johnny Moneybags demonstrating his overwhelming passion for the great outdoors ... and cutting out the everyday man in the process.

Hidden Valley is a fun course that might be worth the trip. You didn't hijack, I asked. I am terrible at golf, but enjoy it...mostly. Tim Carpenter

Always looked forward to playing there but like I mentioned it hasn't worked out for two or three years now mostly due to the flooding. And as you know flooding and me kinda go hand in hand...... We played Hidden Valley once about twenty years ago and had a great time. Not too sure why we've never gone back as it was a lot of fun. We went over to Payne Stewart one time but they were closed for a tournament. Must have driven past that place at least a couple hundred times over the years and it always looks busy.
