For a golfing vacation, Branson is a 'world-class destination'

BRANSON, Mo. — Kirk Elmquist wants Missouri golfers to know how lucky they are.

“I think the world has recognized Big Cedar as one of the top resorts to play golf, and it’s right here in your backyard,” says Elmquist, the executive director for the Branson/Lakes Area Tourism Community Enhancement District and an avid golfer himself.

“When you have a Rolls-Royce development and resort like the Big Cedar Lodge, it’s a wonderful story to be told. I don’t know where else you can find courses designed by Tom Fazio, Ben Crenshaw, Gary Player, Tiger Woods all in the same spot.”
