Dogwood Hills Golf Club and Resort

It's A Great Day at Dogwood Hills

By Brian Weis

For over 45 years in the Lake of the Ozarks, Dogwood Hills Resort has been home to memorable family vacations and enjoyable golf trips. They brand the experience with the motto, "It's a great day". While checking out after my stay I reminded them, it actually was a GREAT WEEK!

The resort located in the heart of the Ozarks is a short trip to every attraction imaginable from horse back riding in the state park to boat excursions on the lake. Ask my kids what they liked the most, without hesitation they sum it up with two words, the pool! The aquatic oasis was also my refuge from the humid summer days after my morning round of golf.

Dogwood Hills Golf Club

The Lake's favorite since 1962 - is nestled in beautiful wooded hills adjacent to the Lake. Generous bermuda grass fairways and well-conditioned bent grass greens make Dogwood Hills a delight to play - and carts are allowed on fairways. The gently rolling terrain provides variety for golfers at any skill level. Dogwood Hills is a public 18-hole golf course, design by Herman Hackbarth.

The Range

Dogwood Hills offers the only lighted driving range in the Lake of the Ozarks. If you are on a golf trip it is a must visit to work on your game.

Mitch & Duff's Restaurant at Dogwood Hills

The on property restaurant is named after two of the owners. You guessed it, Mitch and Duff! The full service restaurant has fabulous breakfasts and dinners. For lunch, try the Grilled Club Classic. This massive sandwich is built upon two huge pieces of Texas Toast topped with Turkey, Ham and bacon.

All of his life, Brian has been around the game of golf. As a youngster, Brian competed at all levels in junior and high school golf.
