Good value

Average course for difficulty. Tee boxes have a lot of crab grass. Fairways are nice zoysia. Rough is a little spotty on grass. Around greens is pretty nice except for fringe has some crab grass. The greens are very nice. They hold incoming shots and roll very nicely. No water on course, so take plenty with you. No beverage cart. They have a small grill. All things said it is a good value.

Worth the trip

The course was in nice condition. Tee boxes and fairways were in very good condition. The rough was nice and thick. Around the greens was very well taken care of. The greens rolled true and moderately fast. No beverage cart. Nice grill in club house. A little out of the way to get to but worth the trip.

Nice Course

Very nice course all around. Tee boxes and fairways in good condition. Rough was thick and nice. The greens were a little suspect but was probably due to extreme heat and not much rain recently. No beverage cart. Nice grill area in club house. Staff was very friendly and helpfull. The course layout is moderate. Nice experience quality for the price.

I would recommend this course to anyone if you know someone to get you on.

Not good

Course was in poor condition. Tee boxes were sparse on grass. Fairways were burned up and lots of weeds and bare spots. Around greens were batchy grass. The greens were soft and rolled true. No on course beverage cart. No grill at club house. Overall experience was poor Compared to a few years ago. Would not recommend going there if you want to play a nice course.

Nice course

This course is in a very small town in southwest missouri. Nice course for its size. Tees were ok, fairways were in ok shape, greens were very nice. They rolled true and we're average speed. The rough was very sketchy at best. Park 72.rate from gold tees 64.7 slope 105. The course is straight forward and right in front of you. No beverage cart and no grill in club house only drinks in a cooler.

What a find

What a find in the wooded hills of northern Arkansas. Each hole is cut out of the forest and you can not see any other hole from it . The greens were excellent rolled true and fast. For being in the hills of Arkansas the tee boxes and fairways were in good shape. It is a part 72 course. From the white tees at 6140 yards the rating is 71.0 and slope is 127. It is all you can handle. No beverage cart and not much of a snack bar. If you are ever in Northwest Arkansas treat yourself to a gem in the forest.

In Oklahoma very windy

First time playing this course. It was very windy. Winds were 30mph and gusts up to 40mph. The course condition was ok. Tee boxes and fairways were spotty with consistant grass. The greens were in nice condition, with speed average. They had no GPS and not much distance markers on course. You new where creeks, ponds, and bunkers were not the distance to them. They had a nice club house and pro shop, but not much of a grill. Overall the course is average at best. Way over priced for what it is compared to other courses I have in that price range.

Great course

This is one of the best course I have played. The course condition was excellent. Tee boxes were perfect, bent grass fairways were like playing on carpet, the greens are bent grass and rolled true and perfect.. They were about 10.5 to 11 on the meter. The ball would roll out very nicely. The management was friendly and helpful. The overall experience was excellent. Would recommend anyone to play this course.

Not as good as it once was

Played this course a few times several years ago and it was in great shape. This time I was very disappointed. Tee boxes and fairways were ok. The area around the greens ratty, clumpy and not very well manicured. The greens were rough with a lot of not repaired ball marks and clumps of crab grass growing in them. There was no beverage cart. The grill was handled by one person and took a long time to get food when a few people were there. I will not return

Excellent course

The course was in excellent condition. Tee boxes, fairways, rough were well taken care of and the grass was perfect. The greens were fast and true. The layout was great, moderate difficulty but very playable. They have a cart on the course for what ever you need. Fantastic clubhouse and the staff is friendly and knowledgable. Worth return trips.

Great value

Course was in perfect condition. Tee boxes and fairways were ib excellent codition. Bent grass greens were smooth and the ball rolled true. The greens Rolex about 10.5. The bunkers were well maintained. No beverage cart or GPS on carts. This is an excellent course for the money for a public course. Would recommend it to any skill level.

Bad course management

Very poor course management. Booked a tee time one week in advance. They did not tell me they would be punching and sanding the greens the day before. Who does that in august. They called the the night before our tee time at 6pm to tell they had sanded the greens, to late to book another coursr. The next day when we got there they told us it was cart path only. Could have told us the night before on the phone when they called. Course layout was good. So we're the greens and tee boxes. There was no need for cart path only, the fairways were dry. All in all it was very bad experience because of poor course managsment. They need to change some t hinges before I will go back or recommend this course.

David, we appreciate that you played Falcon Lakes and took the time to review our course. We are pleased that you thought highly of the layout, greens and tee boxes. Although the greens remain quite playable during the aerification process, we add a notice of our aerification dates above the online tee sheet the week prior to aerification. As a courtesy to our golfers who book their tee times over the phone, our staff notifies them of aerification, and we also make every effort with those who booked online to follow up with them with a phone call to make sure they are aware of aerification. We apologize that you felt our phone call did not allow you enough time to book another course. As for the cart path restriction, we received a record-setting 6 inches of rain Monday evening. It's a fine line between protecting our great course conditions and allowing carts off the path, and we appreciate your understanding of our desire to keep Falcon Lakes ranked as one of the best public courses in the metro. If you would like to visit further with us about your experience, please contact PGA Head Pro Mike Langstraat at 913-724-4653.

Awesome course

Awesome course from tee to green. Fairways were in great shape. Greens were consistant and about 10.5 on the stemp. Greens had a lot of ball marks but we're smooth and true. No beverage cart. GPS on carts. Not much of a clubhouse but they are building a new one. I would recommend this course to anyone.

Course was just average

Had a OK time there. Tee boxes and fairways were ok, but the greens left a little to be desired. They were a little inconsistent and some had some grass problems. No beverage cart on a very hot day. Good clubhouse and nice staff
