The Club At Porto Cima

Tucked along the snaking shorelines of the Lake of the Ozarks in central Missouri is an Italian Riviera-style resort, yacht club and golf course called The Club at Porto Cima. The club opened its signature course in 2000, commissioning Jack Nicklaus to transform the undulating lakeside terrain into a championship-style golf course. Porto Cima is highlighted by seven spectacular holes that are adjacent to the lake, as well as oak tree-lined driving areas and intense elevation changes, making approach shots difficult and visually intimidating. A round at Porto Cima culminates with a four-hole finishing stretch along the banks of the lake, beginning with the 15th, a difficult par-5 played to a green that juts out into the water behind.
