Frank E. Peters Golf Course

Frank E. Peters Golf Course is a municipal facility south of Nevada in Vernon County. The 18-hole layout plays over 6,600 yards at par 72 and takes a links-style approach, routing through more than 200 acres of open Osage Prairie. Bermuda grass fairways are the playing surface, and water comes into play on 10 holes, adding challenge to what is otherwise a wide-open design. The course rating is 70.1 with a slope of 109.

The driving range offers three practice tees, and the affordable economy-level green fees keep the course accessible to the local community. Peters membership also grants privileges at several area courses through the Maxim Golf network. For public golf in southwest Missouri, this is a solid option that plays faster than its yardage might suggest thanks to the open terrain.
