First Time Playing

Came out from Maumelle with a GolfNow reservation. Met a bunch of real nice ladies who invited me to play with them right away. Not stuffy, huffy, or puffy! Played 18 holes with them and had a great lunch special afterwards. Although a more mature course, the variation of hole designs made for interesting strategies and play. They invited me back next week which is very kind of them. The staff and patrons were super friendly also. Fun 19th hole! Long drive for me, but the fun is quite worth another drive out there haha (*_*)

Top notch course by the lake

This was really a surprise to find a golf course in such great place right by the lake. Excellent layout and challenging fairways. Greens in top condition and very well taken care of. Great value for the money spent. Congrats!!!

Still in the 90s

My wife and I always have a great time at Diamond Head. She doesn't play but drives the golf cart and helps me look for my lost golf balls. Still shooting in the 90s but those 80s are going to come if I can just keep playing more. It was a beautiful day with a nice breeze and the course was beautiful.

Uh, stay away

This course is in poor shape, greens are awful, and I wouldn’t play it again if it were free. Greens were unplayable. Terrible experience. Nice guy in the pro shop though. Stay away, go bowling, or watch tv instead. Anything but play this course.

Greens were awful

If you like putting on shag carpet, this is the place for you. Condition of the course varies. Front 9 was fairly decent, but the back 9 was awful. Not a part of the renowned Hot Springs Village golf courses, so don't be fooled. They do have hot deals, so if you want to save some money it may be alright for you.
