   Here is a letter from Larry Salsman, our Director of Golf, with a little history of Sycamore Creek.
Insight into Sycamore Creek....
            
A Letter from the Head Pro

   I became the head golf professional of this eighteen hole golf course in January, 1999 but I have had deep ties in the course since its conception. Sycamore Creek was the brainchild of the Kahrs family. It is built around their internationally known fish hatchery that has been owned and operated by the family for over 50 years. Having this much water in close proximity does add to the excitement of the course, but also adds to its uniqueness. So much care must be taken to keep the hatchery and the course in balance, chemicals must be environmentally safe in order to ensure the life of the fish and in return we use the water from the ponds to irrigate the golf course.  It is a tricky balancing act but one that the family would never trade for a single moment.

   In the spring when we experience sudden showers during the day, some golfers will take refuse in the hatchery building, which is also onsite. These golfers then get the added experience of seeing the hatchery in the height of spawning season. The most talked about fish would be the paddlefish, or spoonbill. The large fish, four to five feet in length, are held in tanks in the hatchery, until time to spawn, so the golfers get to see these fish up close and personal.

   In order to understand the situation better maybe I should start with a little more background information. Jim and Liz Kahrs are proud owners of the hatchery as well as the golf course. Both are unique in the fact that they are truly family owned and operated businesses. I have never met a harder working family. Their sons run the hatchery and can claim the fame of being golf course designers, their daughter runs our weekly Couples’ League, their daughter-in-law is the golf course General Manager, and as for myself the Head Golf Professional, as well as some of the pro shop staff, well we are related too. We are truly a family that never sleeps.

   One nice thing that this golf course does bring to the table is its dedication to a quality experience. Keeping the course in top condition falls to our superintendent, but working hard comes naturally to the Kahrs family and they have made sure to stay involved on a daily basis. The condition of the course is a great source of pride to all, and everyone works well together to give the golfer the best total experience possible.

   Sycamore Creek is proud that we have been voted the favorite golf course in the Lake of the Ozarks area, for eight years in a row. We feel our winning combination is a quality golf course to play on, and excellent customer service provided to the guests while they are here.

   When the facility first opened the Kahrs family made a commitment to always keep the membership and daily fees as low as possible, so that anyone could come and enjoy the facility. It is a true dedication to our golfers that keeps us all going, it is also the reason I am glad to call this place home.
