Elk River Golf Course

Elk River Golf Course is located alongside the Elk River in Noel, a small town in McDonald County in Missouri’s southwest corner. The nine-hole layout plays 3,334 yards at par 36, with two par 5s, two par 3s, and five par 4s. It is one of the flattest courses in the state, making it an easy and pleasant walk. Wide-open fairways lead to large, fast greens.

The course operates as a member-led club, though daily-fee play is available at economy rates around $25 for nine holes. There is no driving range on-site. The Ozark setting along the river and the relaxed pace make Elk River a straightforward, no-frills spot for a quick round in the Four State area near the Arkansas and Oklahoma borders.
