Springfield has been a genuine hub for the sport for years, and the combination of a strong local community, a highly runnable course, and major-event energy makes this tournament feel bigger than a typical state open. It is also a venue with real place in the sport’s record book, which adds extra electricity whenever the field gets moving.\n\nPast champions include: Garrett Holt, Wes Cupp, Scott Dawley, and Nic Goodin on the men’s side.","speedscoreCourseUrl":"https://speedscore.org/courses/CourseDetail/68c8602861070e4844270a5f","lastUpdatedAt":"2026-03-28T11:59:18.432Z","attendanceDecision":{"summary":"Missouri Speedgolf Open is scheduled for September 6-7, 2026 at Horton Smith Golf Course in Springfield, MO, US as 36 hole stroke play.","days":2,"holes":36,"beginnerFriendly":true,"estimatedRunDistance":{"miles":4.23,"kilometers":6.81,"source":"SpeedScore course profile","courseName":"Horton Smith Golf Course","teesetName":"Blue"},"courseProfile":{"climbMeters":66.38,"descentMeters":58.57,"elevationRangeMeters":12.59,"timeParMenSeconds":2855.3,"timeParWomenSeconds":3713},"nearbyAirports":[{"iata":"SGF","name":"Springfield Branson National Airport","municipality":"Springfield","isoCountry":"US","region":"MO","distanceKm":10},{"iata":"BKG","name":"Branson Airport","municipality":"Branson","isoCountry":"US","region":"MO","distanceKm":72},{"iata":"HRO","name":"Boone County Airport","municipality":"Harrison","isoCountry":"US","region":"AR","distanceKm":102}],"travelNotes":"Nearest useful airports: SGF (10 km), BKG (72 km), HRO (102 km).","missingInfo":[]}}
