Golf in El Dorado Springs

El Dorado Springs is the Cedar County seat in west-central Missouri, known historically for the natural mineral springs that once made it a health resort destination. The springs created the golden mythological name — El Dorado — suggesting the discovery of something precious and health-giving. Cedar County's agricultural economy and the community's modest size create the rural west-central Missouri context for a county seat maintaining its institutional functions in a region of declining rural population. Golf has served this Missouri community as a consistent recreational anchor through economic cycles, providing an outdoor activity that connects residents to the natural landscape in every season that weather allows.
