It was always about bringing people together.
When Harold Koplar first drew the original plans for the Lodge of Four Seasons Golf Resort, Marina and Spa in Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri, he wanted it to be a place where people gathered to spend quality time. When the resort opened in 1965, Koplar’s dream was immediately realized as guests flocked to this remote location for the chance to gather in such a stunning place. Koplar’s family managed the lodge, which includes 54 holes of championship golf, a full-service marina, gorgeous Japanese gardens, five diverse restaurants and an award-winning spa, for more than five decades before passing the torch to Troon Golf LLC on January 1, 2018.
Today, the lodge’s warm hospitality and serene lakefront location make it a great option for meetings. The lodge takes its design cues from the Spanish Mediterranean coastlines and serene Asian influences, creating an eclectically casual elegance that reflects the charm of the Midwest. The lodge sits on 3,500 acres and offers 358 recently renovated guest rooms and more than 60,000 square feet of meeting space.
Each season brings a new adventure for guests. Summers are spent navigating the cool waters below on motorized watercraft; paddling around on kayaks, canoes and paddleboards; or relaxing at one of the resort’s four swimming pools. Spring and fall are great times to take to the hills along the numerous hiking and nature trails that surround the lodge and lead to underground caves or high cliffs. The mild winters of the Midwest afford opportunities for exploring the local area’s top museums, art galleries and castle ruins, but also offer the chance to chill out around a roaring fire either indoors or out.
Meeting groups can take advantage of the resort’s recently renovated meeting spaces while luxuriating in the lodge’s massive array of on- and off-site activities. The facilities at the Lodge of the Four Seasons are suitable for hosting executive retreats, organizational conferences, conventions, receptions and trade shows for up to 1,800 guests.
