We had a good time at Mountain Ranch. The greens

We’re in good shape. The bunkers were pretty tuff though

Great views and at points we felt we had the course all to ourselves.

Course layout was fun but tricky. Several fairways tilt which made it hard for tee shot to stay in the fairway. Fairways weren’t cut short. It was like hitting from the fringe all day, consequently losing distance. Greens were inconsistent. But they looked as though were recently verticut.

Small range/irons only. Although this experience was riddled with exceptions, I would definitely play again and recommend it to anyone.

The course was very good and the staff was very friendly and helpful I would recommend playing there to anyone

Awesome course… especially considering the heat we have had the last few weeks

Premium course for reasonable price. If you weigh in the cost to course and compare to other courses with their prices, this potentially the best course in Arkansas depending on conditions. Which are usually excellent.

Tee boxes, fairways and greens were freshly cut and beautiful. This scenic course has generous landing areas from the tees and large bermuda greens that are in great shape with no dead spots. Some of the bunkers are not raked and have drainage issues so it’s fair to lift clean and place in those. They are obviously working hard on bunkers. There was no beverage person or water on the course so come prepared. They’re fine with tumblers. Mountain Ranch is an excellent golf course and a screaming bargain.

I live in Springfield, Mo and my cousin lives in Cabot, Ar. We were looking for someplace to meet in the middle(sort of) and found this place. Absolutely beautiful course and a challenge for a bogie golfer like me. I didn’t even care that I didn’t shoot well because the course was so pretty. Definitely worth the drive and at a great price point we will be meeting back there multiple times in the future.

The pro shop staff were very helpful and friendly. They worked with us to address our group needs.

The on-site restaurant was closed and they are looking for a person to run a restaurant business there. It would have been nice to relax and enjoy the scenery af the end of play.

Mountain Ranch is an interesting course layout with generally enjoyable layout, accessible fairways and challenging greens. Some holes (<5) are undergoing maintenance and therefore had some deterioration. Our round included some medium to moderate rain in waves and we waited out the weather a couple times, but the course drained really well and never was unplayable. Several holes are tight and require good tee shots to find the fairway. Overall an enjoyable round even including the weather. Note that the number of golfers is minimal (seems to be related to the area overall) and that has caused them to discontinue services like beverage cart and pro shop snack bar - both of which appear to be discontinued for the long haul.

The course was an interesting and moderately challenging layout. The weather was poor with off and on mild to heavy rain. The course drained well and after waiting for rain to slacken, the course remained playable. Unfortunately, the quantity of golfers seems quite small and based upon that they have closed amenities such as the snack bar / restaurant which appear to be closed for the long haul. But the course maintenance is being sustained, and the course conditions remain good with true greens and well-maintained fairways.

Interesting design. Trees bordering many fairways. Challenging, but fair.

Great course’ nice people but no bar or grill open.
