Horton Smith Golf Course

Cold and windy day.....the rest was great. Walked the course with another golfer and he was excellent company. Was my first time at the course to play and will return. Good for beginners and advance golfers. Looking forward to the other public courses in Springfield, MO. The course was in great condition, some of the smallest greens I have played on but still great. The driving range needs attention but certainly not a deal breaker. Employees were helpful and gave hint on how to play the course.

Friendly pro staff, and the course is in good shape. Great spot for someone who doesn't golf too often as its not difficult. Their carts are super comfortable and have GPS on them which is a nice touch. Over good experience!!

I'm not sure why your caddy boy (unsure his title) was out on the golf course by the nets towards the road yelling at people who were just walking the park sidewalk. Not even on the grass yelling we were stealing golf balls. We were just walking the sidewalk when this kid came up yelling at us. Saying the park ranger will start yelling at us and such for being on the property. We weren't even in the grass until another man had to walk on the grass to hear who he was even talking to. And the park ranger doesn't patrol the golf course so why would the park ranger be dealing with issues from the gold course is crazy. The kid was rude right off the bat. When we weren't even on the property at all. I get his a kid. He's probably just trying to do what he was told. But, y'all clearly need to guide him more. Also, if people "stealing" golf balls is that big of an issue. Then put up taller nets, send someone out to collect them more often and send someone out to clean up the golf balls in the parks water and property. Again, this was a kid. We know how kids are. However, your company needs to do better with how to train your employees to handle the situation better and for crying our load get better nets. Would suck if y'all had to replace windshields and such when your guest bust them out from cars driving on the road, if someone walking the park gets hit by one and gets injured.

In town and was able to go play a little golf. This was a decent course. Well maintained. If you need clubs, they do have rentals available.

Hidden gem with open fairways and we'll kept. Great public course!
