Worst Pro Shop Staff Ever

The guy working the counter at the pro shop is the most unfriendly person I've ever seen at a golf shop. If there was another decent public course option in this area, I wouldn't ever play Ben Geren.

Unfriendly staff

Very unfriendly staff, talk’s to me like I am his so, without any respect. I come to the Proshop desk first, but helped person behind me like I am not there. He talks to me with angry look, makes me intimidated.

Great courses

Actually there are three 9-hole courses. The southcentral drought has really done in their fairways. Greens are perfect though! We certainly enjoyed the course and ourselves!!

Best Public Course in the area

Each 9 is in really good shape right now, especially the greens. Other than Choctaw CC Poteau, nothing else around here rivals it right now.

Ease of play

I enjoyed the day there at Ben Geren and played when it was pretty busy. But having three nine courses helped and kept it pretty smooth.

Ben Geren Golf Course is a city course and consists of three nine hole courses.

The course is in very good shape in spite of the weather which has been unusual this year.

The staff get you on the course quickly and it goes pretty smooth most of the time.
