Cliffhangers Par-3 Course at Big Cedar Lodge is set to open on July 4, 2025, offering golfers a dramatic new 18-hole par-3 experience in Ridgedale, Missouri. Designed by Johnny Morris, owner of Big Cedar Lodge, and his son John Paul Morris, the course promises a blend of natural beauty and shot-making adventure.
Located adjacent to Payne’s Valley, Cliffhangers features holes ranging from 60 to 170 yards. The course was carved directly into limestone cliffs, showcasing dramatic elevation changes, flowing creeks, waterfalls, and even a cave system that golfers will play through.
One of the most distinctive features is a tee shot from inside a cavern, launching the ball through a waterfall into open air. Additionally, two cliffhanger tee boxes on holes 1 and 10 offer extra chances at an ace—20 total opportunities for a hole-in-one across the layout.
Currently, preview play is available to resort guests, while public play will begin on July 4. Golfers interested in playing this one-of-a-kind layout can make reservations now through Big Cedar Lodge.
