Hey everyone, so I finally got around to playing at Top of the Rock Golf, and let me tell you, it was quite the experience! I’ve been planning this for a while now, and honestly, the whole booking process was a bit of a headache, but totally worth it in the end.
First off, I tried to book a tee time online. I went to their website, and it looked pretty straightforward at first. You just pick a date on the left side, and then it shows you the available times for that day. I was looking to play on October 18th, 2024, but every time I clicked on a time, it would just give me an error message or something. I think their booking system might be a little buggy, or maybe it was just me.
Anyway, after messing around with the website for a while, I decided to just call them directly. I found the number, (417) 339-5343, and gave them a ring. Luckily, I got through to someone pretty quickly. They were really helpful and confirmed that the online system was a little fussy and suggested booking over the phone or in person. I mean, who even goes to a golf course to book a time these days? But it was well in advance, I figured I should just book it over the phone to secure my spot.
Once I got my tee time sorted, I started thinking about what to wear. The website mentioned something about “appropriate resort attire” and recommended collared shirts for men over 12. I mean, I wasn’t planning on wearing anything crazy, but it’s good to know they have a dress code. I went with a decent polo shirt and some comfy golf pants, figured that should do the trick.
Now, let’s talk about the actual course. This place is something else. It’s a par-3 course, which is kind of unique, especially since it’s been used in PGA competitions. I knew it was going to be special, but wow, the views are just insane. There are waterfalls, creeks, and just nature all around you. It’s like playing golf in a postcard or something, just beautiful.
- Booking: Don’t even bother with the online thing, just call them.
- Dress Code: Polo and pants, guys. Keep it classy.
- The Course: It’s like they dropped a golf course in the middle of a national park.
I hit some good shots, I hit some bad shots, but honestly, just being there was amazing. It’s definitely not your average golf experience. I mean, I’m not a pro or anything, but I had a blast.
All in all, playing at Top of the Rock was a day to remember. The booking was a bit of a pain, but the course itself more than made up for it. If you’re ever in the area and you like golf, you gotta check this place out. It’s an experience you won’t forget.
Oh, and one last thing. I’m pretty sure they charge you extra for everything there, so be prepared to shell out some cash. It’s not cheap, but hey, you only live once, right? I didn’t eat there this time, but maybe next time I’ll try their food and let you all know how that goes.
The Takeaway
Despite the wonky booking process, playing at Top of the Rock was worth every bit of the hassle. It’s a beautiful course, the scenery is incredible, and it’s just a fun place to play. Just call to book, wear something decent, and be prepared to open your wallet. You won’t regret it!
