We just got back from an excellent evening with Topeka Tom and Topeka Barb at the preview show at Worldmark Branson. For $10 they served an excellent buffet from the Rib Crib (BBQ) and about a two-hour preview show from around 8 talented Branson shows.

Great food, great talent and a lot of fun.

The resort itself is nice. Every balcony (lanai) has a Charbroil gas BBQ grill and every building has a oversized hot tub.

Free, of course. :D

Guess that about covers it, huh?
 
Tom doesn't post when they are on vacation, but he did make a point that all of the amenities are free.

Did I mention that?
 
BTW, some of you may remember that I had thought about sponsoring golf outings in Branson.

Well, someone is doing that and he kicked off the program last night. He is offering two timeshare golf outings a week, one at Point Royale and one at Holiday Hills. They include breakfast, golf, and two-for-one shows and dinner pass, all for less than the discounted timeshare rates for golf if you go on your own. $49 at Point Royale and $42 at Holiday Hills.

What a slick deal. :whoopie:
 
What Jim said. My full review is coming up soon. Worldmark, like every resort, has its own personality, so I will attempt to describe it fairly for those who will like it, and those who will not, too.

The Cliff's Notes version is that it has the minimum to be a very nice resort (in the best sense) in a fantastic setting, virtually surrounded by the Thousand Hills Golf Course. But (you knew that was coming) not much more, and at least a mile over a treacherous Ozarks back road to get there.

Reviews are a perk of membership, so I'll not say more, now.

But I wquld add Worldmark to the long list of resorts that are very nice, indeed, and of which there are many in Branson.
 
T.Tom: We have confirmed res. in mid-Nov there and you scared me :eek: on the comments of the treacherous Ozarks back road to get there. We will be arriving very late from California -- any wise words of advice to us driving unknown highways? Thank you in advance!
 
Don't be afraid of our roads. Tom just likes to scare people, to keep them away from Branson, so he and Barb don't have to wait in lines as long. :D

Let's say Worldmark has a quiet location, instead. Feel better?

It is actually on Fall Creek Road. If you will mapquest the address you will see that Fall Creek Road is a short-cut to by-pass the strip to Gretna Road.

There is also a way to get to Worldmark off of Green Mountain, another by pass road, and from Falls Village, where Spinnaker, Falls Village Resort, and Fairfield Falls are located.

One of the amenities at Worldmark that Tom probably will not mention, because it is way too fun, is the evening golf ball hunt at the par 3, number 7 water hole.
 
Hey Cathy, could you run by the Callaway company and bring me a hybrid fairway club?
 
jlb -- hybrid club? is that one that uses half electric, half gas :)
 
jlb: which of the roads you mentioned would be the best to travel to Worldmark when it is late at night and you have just traveled across U.S. from California?
 
Chances are 99.9% that you will exit US 65 at 76 Highway. You will proceed west on it. Not far passed the traffic light on 76 highway, the one where the left lane takes you on 76 HWY and the right lane takes you on the Roark Road bypass, there will be a left-hand turn onto Fall Creek Road.

If you get to Dixie Stampede and the Dick Clark Theater, you missed it. If that happens you can turn around and go back or you can continue on to the road just passed Wal Mart. That is Green Mountain Drive, another bypass, and you turn left on it. When you get to Wildwood (the 4-way stop), turn left on it and it will take you to Fall Creek Road. Turn right on it and it will be just a short distance to Worldmark (Trendwest).

Take Fall Creek Road to Worldmark.

As comparing resorts goes, there is a current discussion about Grand Regency at Thousand Hills, another resort in the same vicinity, about the same age, as Worldmark. Condos and resorts flank most of Thousand Hills Golf Course, with the undeveloped portion currently being pecked away at.

And yeah, that's what a hybrid club is. :D
