Great course for seniors

I like the layout and choices of different tee boxes. Greens were in very good condition for early spring. Fairways have not come to life yet with the bad spring weather. Played this course last fall and fairways were in real good condition. Challenging and fair. Just need to use the right tee box for your skill level.

Tougher than you think

This course was very challenging. Very narrow. Not the courses fault, but I hate how close the houses are in some of the holes. I’ve played with houses around holes but never this close. I mean close. If you spray the ball, not the course for you. You need to be a moderate player to play this course. If you don’t play a lot of golf you might find this course frustrating.

Overall I think the course could be in better shape. Yes it’s the time of year fall. But maybe invest in a leaf lower.

Great course for seniors

First time on this course. Played the senior tees and they were very fair. Like many courses some holes are more challenging than others but the course was a good test, without being too penalyzing. I really liked the greens on this course. They were plenty fast and rolled very well. I would play this course again if I was in the area.

Great day of golf

Couldn't have asked for friendlier service from staff. Never had to wait on a single hole. Entire course in great condition. Greens ran true and all about the same pace. Didn't seem to very at all.

Lots of positives

Saw this course while heading to Eureka Springs for the day and decided to play it. Overall the course is a well-maintained, challenging track with small, firm greens that provide a good test once you get on the putting surface. Pace of play for a mid-week round was excellent and the staff was friendly. But I have to admit the thing I will remember most about this course isn’t on the course at all …it’s the driving range! Whoever built this unique range is either a genius or totally mad! Just getting to the hitting area requires nerves of steel going down a narrow path (only partially paved) while listening to the golf cart brakes squeal the whole time. Once you’re there though I have to admit it was a hoot hitting short iron shots with 8 second hang times before seeing the ball drop into a creek and stratified mountainside far below. And going up the path? Well you can imagine what it was like but we made it. One other thing about the course, my female playing partner was a little upset the ladies’ tees were just struck randomly in the fairway, we’re uneven and were not mowed. Also the course has no bathrooms on either nine, so definitely stop at the clubhouse on the turn!

The course was in very rough shape from the tee box to the green. Greens were in good shape. Many of the tee boxes looked like the rough and the fairways were very patchy dirt to weeds and dandelions.

Could be really good

The course has a nice layout and some great views of the Ozarks, but tees are in bad shape and there is not much definition between fairways and rough. Greens were good, most are elevated. But areas leading to greens are not good. If some money was put into it, it could be a really nice course.
