Cedar Lodge Experience"},"content":{"rendered":"<h3>Big Cedar Lodge Experience<\/h3>\n<p>I had such a great experience at the Big Cedar Lodge in the Ozarks just outside of Branson, MI.\u00a0 I had to share some of it with our students.\u00a0 Originally, I saw Big Cedar on the Golf Channel while they were hosting the Legends of Golf event.\u00a0 The golf courses were stunning enough that I looked up the resort on the internet at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bigcedar.com\">www.bigcedar.com<\/a>.\u00a0 The lodge looked equally amazing to the golf courses, so with it being only an 8-hour drive from Chicago, I decided to make it our summer vacation spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Upon our arrival, we were not disappointed.\u00a0 The lodge is spread out over beautifully manicured grounds with so many different activities we simply couldn\u2019t do it all, but that\u2019s okay because we are definitely coming back.\u00a0 Of course, our main focus was golf but we threw in a little fishing, jet skiing and hiking.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are two 18-hole Championship golf courses, Buffalo Ridge and Ozarks National which are majestic, challenging and fun to play.\u00a0 However, if you asked my boys, they would tell you they had the most fun at the Top of the Mountain Golf Course.\u00a0 It\u2019s a par 3 13-hole walking only course.\u00a0 It\u2019s a ton of fun to play, we walked, laughed, watched 6 or 7 hawks fly around the mountain as played.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I had very high expectations going into the trip and I have to say they were exceeded.\u00a0 If you are looking for a great vacation whether for a family outing or just a plain golf outing with the guys, you can\u2019t go wrong at Big Cedar.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"
