Scottsdale golf

It was a very hot and crowded day. So slow was the pace of play that we quit after 9. The course was in excellent shape but never again will I golf on Saturday.

Hidden Gem

This golf course was absolutely amazing. The course is in fantastic shape and the staff were extremely friendly and nice. The pace of play was superb. I only saw four other golfing groups while I was out there, granted I did tee off at 5 o’clock but was still able to finish before sunset at 810. For the price, it’s one of the best golf courses I’ve ever ever played. Front nine is completely different than the back nine, the back line had some of the most picture holes I have ever played with it whining through the foothills/mountains of Northwest Arkansas. A lot of wildlife and undulation. By far, one of the top 10 courses I’ve ever played and I’ve played all over the country.. Shout out to the greenskeeper who kept the course in immaculate shape, even in the middle of summer. Y’all are ever in Northwest Arkansas please book a teatime up here, you will not regret it.

Why now?

The course is wonderful and doesn’t look like it is overplayed. Our only gripe was the greens. It looks as if they had recently been aerated causing them to be wildly bumpy. I would not have cancelled had I known so in reality not a deal breaker. I am not familiar with the when and why so maybe it is necessary this time of year in order to keep the greens healthy.

Scotsdale GC

First time here and was very pleased with the layout compared to their other properties. Course was in good shape with the exception of the greens which always seem to be a question mark at all of the Bella Vista courses. Staff was very friendly and the pace was good.

Great conditions

Always a good track unless a storm blows through. It would be nice to book morning rounds at a course other than Brittany

Overall solid course

First was the staff, tried to get some insight on the course and which 9 to play, the worker seemed annoyed and just wanted to rush me through. Secondly, and I’ve noticed a theme with Arkansas courses, no true driving range to warm up. Oh well.

Now to the golf itself. Tee boxes need A LOT of work, especially if they are hosting tournaments here soon. YIKES! The rest of the course was lush and green, for the most part. Layout was fun and open, although I hear the back 9 tightens up. We shall see when I play. Overall I’d recommend it, and not just because it’s one of the few close to Bentonville 😅

Fun layout

First let me start by saying how friendly and helpful the staff was. The course for this time of year was in great shape. From tee to green typical conditions with the grass being dormant so tight lies and plenty of run out. The greens were in fantastic condition with them rolling fast and true. Front 9 and the back 9 are completely different layouts. The front 9 is more wide open and you can get away with some errant shots, as most of the holes run adjacent with each other. The back 9 is tighter with only the 10th and 18th holes that parallel each other. The 15th hole is a fun par 3 with the tee about 100’ above the green. Even with the wind gusting up to 30 mph it is a course taking I definitely look forward to playing again later when everything is green.

Nice course for thepricw

Enjoyed the layout of this course. I enjoyed the layout of the back 9 more than the front. The greens took a little getting used to for me. I normally play on greens in the upper Midwest.

Was a little disappointed that we could get anything from the club house after 6. Still, a very nice course with friendly staff.

Tale of two nines

Front 9 has a country club type feel and the back 9 feels very secluded with several creative, fun holes. I will be back!
