Tim McDonald: Branson, Missouri makes a run at becoming a golf destination

You may have heard of Branson, Missouri, most likely from your parents, grandparents or great-uncle.

They probably had a great time and told you all abut it.

What you might not know, and which might prompt you to pull the Trigger (get it? Roy Rogers?) is that the famous country music city is trying hard to become a golf destination, and they've got a pretty good start.

They have about a dozen courses in the area now, with more to come, including the Payne Stewart Golf Course that's scheduled to be completed this fall; it should be a doozy.

Just played Ledgestone today, and it is an excellent course, with some of the most dramatic elevation changes I've played in a while, something to be expected from a course high in the Ozarks.

I'm slated to play other Branson courses later this week.

Look for full reviews on these courses and others coming soon.
