Poor course management!
Why would you charge $35.00 on a course that has 6 temporary greens. That is b.s. Also ahead of us there was 2 foursomes that we’re playing as eight people. People were rude and would not let’s us go through. Lack of course management! You need to tell people about the temporary greens before they play! It took us 5 and a half hours to play because of the eightsome play in front of us!
Working on Greens
Currently Two holes on temporary greens while fixing existing. Really enjoy playing this course, good layout and very pleasant staff.
Course has taken on a lot of rain
Course has taken on a lot of rain. They are making efforts to get things back up to par. A lot of the greens currently have new sod in place. Love the lay out, tight fairways with a lot of water in play.
This course needs repair
I have golfed at CCA probably a dozen times and this time was by far the worst condition I have seen the course in.
I paid regular price for a round and 6 of the greens were under construction. I was offered no refunds and had to skip 3 holes, and 3 of them had holes created in the fairway.
I see why they need to do construction and re sodding of the greens because at some point they lost them. The greens were part dirt in some areas and they are re sodding them. The fairways were so dry and hard that a drive in the fairway would roll and roll and roll into the woods. I also had a shot hit the bunker and the bottom of the bunker was so hard it bounced out vertically and rolled into the water. I have never had a wedge shot land in the bunker only to bounce 15 feet high and out of the bunker into the water.
Also the ball washer on #18 was full of fire ants so when I washed the ball they swarmed out of the wash.
Maintenance has slipped, and it seems they are trying to work on it, but they are way behind.
Need to wait
The course layout is great. The course condition is terrible. Nobody’s fault, just too much rain. Many of the greens are destroyed and in need of replacement. The fairways should grow in over time, but right now that are also in bad shape. The staff is always great, they are aware that the course needs attention. I would shut it down until the greens were replaced and the fairways have time to heal. If you want to play golf, at least right now, play somewhere else.
Slow pace poor condition
I can understand the poor course conditions but the pace of play is unacceptable. They needed a Marshall to encourage the two groups ahead of us to keep up or let us play through. No one was working the course. They also charged us after we had previously paid on GN.
Fairways are very hard not much turf.
Many of the Greens have NO gras only dirt!!!!
Great layout with some tight fairways. Staff was super friendly and the carts are nice. However, the greens are BAD! Lots have signs that say they’re due for resodding, but I cannot understand how they let them get as bad as they were. Plus at least one hole had what felt like an illegal pin placement from a superintendents revenge. In summary, it’s worth it just to experience the course at a discount rate, but not worth full price.
Greta potential
The course has great potential, but with all th rain it’s taken on it’s just not in great shape. Lots of greens were under water for too long so they have either had temp greens or the greens are planned to be resodded. I’ve played it in good shape so this review is specifically for the current condition. By no means does it speak to the potential this course has.
Poor course conditions and untrained staff
I’ve played Country Club of Arkansas many times in the past and have always enjoyed the course and staff. I’m not sure what has changed here but, the course is really spiraling. There was a deer skeleton on one of the tee boxes. I guess maintenance staff hasn’t been around in weeks? How could this not have been cleaned up? Greens were in terrible conditions on most holes. The “bartender” didn’t know how to make the most basic drinks you would expect at a golf course. Overall pretty poor experience. This used to be one of the nicer courses. I don’t know how anyone would pay $250 for a membership here. Save your $60 green fees and play somewhere else.
Greens need some work
Overall, the course was great. Pin placements were friendly and some challenging. The staff was very friendly. The only area to improve would be green conditions. I am not sure what is going on with the greens some had some pretty bad dead spots. They have a temporary green on hole 2. Some greens were in great shape. While some you felt like you weren’t at the same course due to them being dead. Hopefully, with warmer weather and a nice spring they can bring them back.
Overpriced for the course condition
My friends and I have played CCA frequently over the years but lately the price to play is not worth the course condition. We have had a lot of rain but that is not the issue. I don't ever expect to pay $54 to plat a round on a course utilizing a temporary green that's a mowed circle with a flag in the ground 80 yards short of the normal green. Many of the greens were in poor condition. The course and staff are great but if using a temp green and other greens damaged, don't charge $54.
Good enough
I get the feeling this course will really look solid in warm months with green grass and blue skies taking over. While it was grey outside and the grass was dormant and soupy from rain, it had its charm and degrees of challenge. I’d play here again… when it warms up.
We’ll managed & maintained course
My friend and I really enjoy this course, it always in great shape and not overly busy. Excellent value for this quality is golf course.
Little soggy- greens disappointing
Historically this course has great greens as the jewel to a fun layout. Unfortunately that was not the case on this day. It was wet but the greens on 3 or 4 were so wet the grass was packed down and like putting on concrete.
