Must Play!

5 stars. Beautiful course, excellent staff, excellent pace of play, tasteful restaurant menu. It has it all!

If you're passing through or in the area, it's a must play! It's worth the detour.

A hidden gem and a contemporary throwback to architecture’s meaner days

The spirit of adventure requires a certain tolerance for hardship. Going off the beaten track often means working a little harder to wring the most out of a travel experience.

Mystic Creek’s middle-of-next-to-nowhere location in dense south Arkansas timberland is not reached by accident; you’ve got to expend some effort to get there. Similarly, once you’ve arrived, you’ve got to work a little bit to really enjoy it, because the golf course – scenic, immaculately maintained, impeccably run, yes – is one of the toughest you’ll encounter anywhere. The first six holes can be torturous if your approach play isn’t on point; water borders each and every green. Things lighten up a little bit from there on out, but not by much, as more water comes along sporadically and the forest tends to swallow errant shots around the perimeter of the appealing property. The excellent modern clubhouse, which looks almost cantilevered out onto the 18th green, is appropriately welcoming. Mystic Creek is a good reminder that it doesn’t need to come easy to be enjoyable.

Additional fee charged at course

I’ve played the course before and is in excellent condition, however this time when checking in I was charged $75.00 at the course for cart fee for a group of 3. The course for some reason is not following the agreement with GolfNow. Due to the additional fee I will not play the course again unless it’s resolved.

FANTASTIC COURSE

This course is FANTASTIC. It's always in spectacular condition, every time.i come here to play. I have played.here 6 times now and every single time. I come here, it's always a treat. The greens are FLAWLESS and the fairways are pristine. This is a true championship course with a great layout. There is a LOT of undulation on the greens, so putting is always a challenge around this place. Highly recommend playing this course.

Very difficult course

First, the amenities and staff were wonderful. The course was in great condition. Course design was too demanding from tee to green and on the green. Good shots are not necessarily rewarded. There were no options on most tee shots. Green fees were not reasonable. We got the golf package which there was no discount. We informed them of this, but were not given any discount.

Great course.

Great course in very good condition especially for early April. Says $89 including cart fee but when we got there they said $89 is for the green fee and another $25 cart fee. That’s was irritating but overall a good experience.
