Schifferdecker Golf Course

The municipal track that survived Joplin's 2011 tornado serves up honest prairie golf with enough character to keep you coming back. Rolling fairways carved through mature hardwoods demand accurate iron play, while the signature par-3 13th drops dramatically downhill to a well-protected green that's claimed more golf balls than the surrounding creek. At under $30 for weekend play, this southwest Missouri gem proves you don't need country club prices to test every club in your bag.
