STILL A CHALLENGE!

Course is quite challenging using the natural landscape. Some holes are "take your medicine" type holes...no way to sneak a birdie shot (18 is best example). Greens were in amazing shape considering the heat wave we're suffering through. Course has numerous holes with creeks on both sides, so accuracy is a must.

19th hole is nice. Staff (bar and pro shop) are friendly and happy to help you.

AFFORDABLE BUT TOUGH

There are some holes that are ridiculous only because they cater to the local terrain. Tee..fairways...greens...all very nice.

Very friendly staff. The course was a little rough but that’s to be expected with the extremely wet winter weather we have had. Overall a great value

Not Satisfied

My wife and I had a GolfNow reservation to play this course. When we arrived the course was closed - and the club house manager could not find our reservation.

We had driven to the course, so the day was lost.

When I contacted GolfNow they never explained to me how this happened. The only resolution was not to charge me (Ha, ha, ha).

We are not happy.

Send Rain to Arkansas!

The course was very dry, struggled to get a tee in the ground on most tee boxes. Some very narrow fairways with rocky ditches on each side that help you find your ball, but you can’t hit out of them. Greens a little rough, some sections of different grasses growing. Overall a scenic course with many challenging holes. First time playing, so not knowing all the dog legs and hidden features made it more challenging.
