Thinking About Living in Highland Springs Country Club?
Get connected with a local real-estate specialist who understands Highland Springs Country Club and the surrounding Southwest Missouri golf market.
Highland Springs Country Club is Springfield's most established private, gated golf community: developer John Q. Hammons founded it in 1989 on more than 600 acres in southeast Springfield, building a 42,000-square-foot, Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired clubhouse and an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones II championship course alongside over 300 single-family home lots. Unlike a course with houses simply built nearby, Highland Springs was conceived from the outset as an integrated gated club-and-residential development, giving it a stronger residential-integration case than a purely proximate arrangement.
The club's national golf relevance comes from tournament history rather than membership exclusivity: it has hosted the Price Cutter Charity Championship, a Korn Ferry Tour event, every year since 1990 -- a 35-plus-year run that is genuinely significant for the Springfield golf market's identity. Membership itself, however, is sold as an optional purchase rather than a mandatory condition of buying a home in the community; as of this research pass, reporting indicated the club's ownership (Highland Springs LLC, tied to Atrium Hospitality) was exploring a sale, a live development worth confirming before treating current membership terms as settled.
