Dream Valley Golf Course is an 18-hole course set in the countryside of the Missouri Ozarks, roughly three miles south of Buffalo and about 25 minutes north of Springfield. It was designed and built in 1994 by Owen and Karen Kjar.
The course is open to the public, with memberships also available for golfers who play more often. Tee times are not required, and the atmosphere is geared toward a relaxed, casual round away from the city.
