Grass issues

I really like the layout of the golf course. Unfortunately I'm not a big fan of Bermuda greens. We've had a lot of rain and flooding in this area so the fairways were a bit thin and spotty. Of course that's not the course's fault. When the greens get mowed down they'll be faster and easier to putt. Overall very nice golf course challenging even though it's not very long.

Do Not Play Here!

Otherwise it will no longer be the hidden gem that it is! Great course. Challenging layout and significant elevation changes for anyone willing to walk. Bring extra balls b/c there are water hazards lurking everywhere, even where you might not expect to find them....LOL

Course has been recently punched but it is mostly filled back in. Greens are rolled out and quite nicely maintained. Not too many unrepaired ball marks.

Only course I've been on yet with an ice/water/ice&water dispensers! Everyone should have these!

Front 9 is relatively flat, although some interesting forced carries keeps it quite challenging.

Back 9 is where it gets long and steep, by comparison.

Oh and #1/#8 has a shared green. >8 )

Great day of father and son

Got there early to eat. I forgot about covid so no kitchen but had some brats and sandwiches. Great couple manning the station sat out on deck and drank in the course and surroundings.

1st tee amazing. Several camera type shots. Fair course. Greens hard to read for speed but that is part of fun. Overall great visit.

Thank you.

Great track

What a fun track this was, greens rolled great and we’re just the right speed. Some tight holes so accuracy off the tee is needed. Ball sat nicely on the fairways and the rough wasn’t very bad to play from.

End of summer golf

Fairways were a little wet because of a rain storm. Greens were consistent in their speed. I always enjoy the layout of the course.

We should be golfing!

This course begs the golfer to come play. She has the look and the layout to test your skills. The staff is professional and really goes the extra mile.

Keep swinging!!

Great Value in NWA

This course was fantastic. Well kept and maintained. The pace of play could be fast or slow. There wasn’t an abundance of players on the course and made it feel as if we had the whole course rot ourselves. I’m used to crowded dallas golf courses so this was an amazing change of pace. Right off hole #1 you launch your ball a steep drop off into the valley of the course. It did not disappoint from that first shot to the last. I will definitely be back to play this course again.

A Jem

I was vacationing near by, decided to try a new course out. This course didn’t disappoint. Challenging at times, forgiving at others. I played with locals who helped direct me through the course. My only issue was the cart situation. My tee time was pushed back by 30-45 minutes because they didn’t have enough carts available. Aside from the minor issue, I’d play this course again if I’m near the area.

Great course, terrible staff

The clubhouse attendant was extremely rude. The pace of play was extremely slow due to older groups not letting singles play through.

Good layout nines are completely different.

Course is great to play. You need to get there at least 45 min. before teetime. It will take that long to get checked in and pay. . Very slow in the pro shop.

Excellent and Challenging course

The course was in exceptional shape and is very challenging. We played the tips and I am about a 7-9 Handicap. I shot 14 over and did not play bad at all. Greens were fast and true and can't beat the scenery. Would definitely recommend this course!

Solid Course - Slow Play However

Great course with perfect conditions. Greens, traps and fairways very nice. Back nine is extremely challenging and the staff is very good. Only negative is that the pace of play (we were a twosome) was horrible. We played the front nine in about 1.5 hours, playing through a 5 some on the 6th hole. We got on the back nine and never saw another group until the 15th hole, a three some with 2 women and a man. They took 20 minutes to finish that hole and even though we were on the tee boxes before they finished teeing off, refused to let us play through. Back nine took almost 2.5 hours to finish. Many of these golfers are older and will not let faster groups play through and there is no marshall on the course. Ruined a great day.
