Bottom line: Rolling Hills Country Club is a great course, located in Versailles – at the Lake of the Ozarks. I don’t think it will make the list of the top 5 public courses in the state but it is definitely one of my personal favorites. It is a beautiful rural Missouri course that is well maintained with lush turf, particularly for a rural course. This course will provide quite a challenge to the average golfer and will provide a major test of skills for a lower handicap player. Many of the fairways are flanked by mature trees that narrow dramatically in spots. To score well, you will need to sculpt and shape your shots. There are major doglegs to the left which require a draw and doglegs to the right which require fades. Then you have greens tucked away behind a group of trees requiring positioning your ball in a 20 yards wide area. There are sand traps and a few lakes. The greens are small to medium round with a fairly significant slope. This is a course I would love to play again and again. A special call out to Ross Carbonell who is the club house manager. Ross turned 80 recently and shot a 79 on his birthday. And, that was a bad round for him. He said he shot a 71 last week.
