Golf Course Overview: Cliffhangers Golf Course

Insights From An Insider With Madison Horner, Public Relations Manager

Local and traveling golfers love to research courses before playing them, whether it is to gain some local knowledge or to set an expectation before their upcoming round. Below is an interview with Madison Horner who shares some valuable insight about the property, its most talked about holes and the signature dish/drink to consume at the 19th hole.

In your opinion, what is the hardest hole and do you have any tips on playing it?
Every hole at Cliffhangers offers its own unique, yet fun challenge - that's part of what makes playing this course so memorable. From dramatic elevation changes to tight approaches and strategic green complexes, each shot requires a thoughtful approach. Rather than pointing to one specific hole, we always recommend that players take their time, embrace the natural contours of the land, and stay focused on course management and club selection.

As a golfer plays the final three holes, is there a chance for salvation? (any tips on closing out the round?)
When you reach the final stretch at Cliffhangers, forget to chase a number. This is where you lean into the moment. The last three holes demand sharp focus, but not in the traditional sense. It's less about grinding for a score and more about soaking in the experience and being fully present among the dramatic Ozark views, elevated tee shots, and raw natural beauty that surrounds you.

That said, if you're looking to end on a high note, keep your swing smooth and your tempo steady. Club selection is everything here, especially with the elevation shifts. Trust your instincts and aim for a confident, controlled swing rather than trying to muscle the ball.

As you close out your round, embrace the fun, stay relaxed, and take it all in. Because the last three holes might not offer salvation for your scorecard, they'll absolutely deliver something better - an unforgettable finish.

About: Brian Weis

While Brian Weis has made a name for himself in the golf world, he also appreciates the finer things in life—like a world-class spa treatment after a grueling 18 holes (or even after a casual round where the only thing working hard was his golf cart). A self-proclaimed "golfer who enjoys relaxation more than practice," Brian has developed a deep appreciation for massages that unknot his questionable swing mechanics, saunas that sweat out a few too many post-round drinks, and infinity pools with views as stunning as a well-manicured par 3.

Brian’s spa journey began as a reluctant tag-along to couples' massages and resort spa packages but quickly evolved into a full-fledged appreciation for hot stone therapy, deep-tissue recovery, and the occasional seaweed wrap (don’t knock it till you try it). Now, he seeks out the best spa retreats, thermal baths, and relaxation havens wherever his travels take him—whether it's a luxury golf resort with a five-star spa or a hidden wellness gem perfect for unwinding in style.

On SpaTrips.com, Brian shares his experiences, reviews, and insider tips on the best places to soothe sore muscles, indulge in rejuvenating treatments, and find true relaxation—whether you're a hardcore golfer in need of recovery or just someone looking for the ultimate escape. After all, what’s the point of a bucket list golf trip if you can’t top it off with an expert massage, a hot soak, and maybe even a ridiculously plush robe"
