The 326-room wilderness resort on Table Rock Lake that anchors the entire Big Cedar golf collection, with on-site courses, eight restaurants, and a full-service spa.
Big Cedar Lodge is the hub around which every other element of this destination revolves. The 326-room property occupies a stretch of Table Rock Lake shoreline that provides direct access to the Top of the Rock and Mountain Top courses on the resort property, with Payne's Valley and Ozarks National within a 10-minute drive or shuttle. The accommodation options span lodges, private cottages, cabins, and glamping tents, which means the property serves couples, families, and buddies groups without forcing any of them into a room category that does not fit.
The resort operates eight restaurants, four outdoor pools, a marina, a fitness center, and Cedar Creek Spa, a full-service facility in a wilderness lodge setting. Kids' programs run throughout the season. The breadth of amenities means that a non-golfing companion or a family with children will find the resort self-sustaining for the duration of a golf trip. The nightly rate of $200 to $500 reflects the range of room types, from standard lodge rooms at the lower end to private lakefront cottages at the upper end, and the resort guest status unlocks significantly lower green fees across all five courses.
Johnny Morris's Bass Pro Shops aesthetic is present throughout the property in the log-and-stone architecture, the wildlife motifs, and the deliberate rusticity that distinguishes Big Cedar from the manicured resort environments common to most golf destinations. The look is intentional and consistent: this is a wilderness lodge that happens to have championship golf, not a golf resort that happens to be in the woods. For golfers who want the courses and the resort experience in a single booking, Big Cedar Lodge is the obvious and correct choice.
