If Tiger Woods designed it, you can expect it to be great. That's the truth for a Missouri golf course he designed that was just named among the top 3 public courses in America.

This honor comes from the very prestigious USA Today Reader's Poll where their audience spent weeks voting for their favorite public golf course. In a true stunner, one Missouri course appeared near the top - Payne's Valley at Big Cedar Lodge near Branson, Missouri.

The official Payne's Valley at Big Cedar Lodge website says this is also the first golf course that Tiger Woods designed that is fully accessible to the public. Even the putting greens area is remarkable.

When you've got the backdrop of the Ozark Mountains and a bonus hole that is bordered by a waterfall, you have a must-visit Missouri golf destination.

If you think this Missouri golf course needs to be on your warm weather destination list, better book a tee time sooner rather than later. It's not every day that you get to step onto a golf course that Tiger Woods envisioned. The fact that he made the first public one in Missouri is amazing. If you wear a red shirt and black hat while playing your round there, no one would wonder why.
