Branson, MO (Vocus) September 23, 2008 -- Golf Magazine, one of the world?s most respected periodicals for golf enthusiasts, announces in its September 2008 issue that Branson Creek Golf Club (http://golf.branson.com), located in picturesque Ozark mountains of southwest Missouri, has been named as one of the ?Top 100 Courses You Can Play? in 2008-2009.

I am proud of each and every member of our dedicated team at Branson Creek and Troon Golf®.?

Designed by legendary golf course architect Tom Fazio, Branson Creek features a challenging seven thousand yard, Par 71 championship layout, with 5 sets of tees, etched into the magnificent Ozarks landscape with a view second-to-none.

?When you play Branson Creek, the rest of the world disappears. You can?t see the other holes, or houses, or cars- nothing encroaches on your experience. Golfers are entirely immersed in the natural setting of beautiful rolling hills and native trees. Seven holes have water features, including creeks, waterfalls, and two small lakes? Ophoven says. ?To be able to enjoy high-quality golf like this, just a few miles from the heart of Branson, is an amazing thing.?
