Fun But Challenging

We had a great round at Diamondhead! Course conditions were excellent, yet challenging. Tee boxes, fairways, bunkers, and greens were all in great condition and provided more than sufficient challenge for us. The downhill and uphill layout of the course kept each hole interesting, especially for our first time. Highly recommended ~ but only if you can straight off the tee.

Greens need work

This would be a decent course with a good layout, but the greens were terrible...full of weeds, bumpy and sandy. Not worth what they charge as long as the greens are in that condition.

Nice Peaceful Welcoming Course

We were visiting Arkansas in our RV and decided to come and play here a few years back. We did it the same this year when we arrived in Arkansas. This is a very nice course. The pace is great and you never feel rushed. The course is well maintained, and we love the hills.

Do they ever water? Or do maintenance on the fairways and greens?

Fairways are mainly weeds and dirt. Thank goodness that I got a great golf now deal. Still a waste of time. Back nine closed. Played front nine. Had to wait thirty minutes to play it again. Greens are weedy and hard as concrete. I usually play other courses in Hot Springs. Ive tried this one several times and get more disappointed every time. Its a tough course to start with. Extremely narrow, tree lined fairways. Could be an Arkansas gem. Just needs ton of money, maintenance and time poured into fairways and greens. Hole # 2 could be on a postcard if it was maintained properly. Beautiful setting.

Hot weather
Used cart

Overall a very interesting course with a few short par 4's. Greens, however, left a bit to be desired. Super slow to the cup. May have been due to the amount of precipitation on the course before our visit that could have prohibited greenskeepers from their efforts. We were not cart path only, but did not see any maintenance crews. It was HOT, HOT, HOT the day we played. No amenities available as the restaurant/clubhouse was closed. Thank goodness we brought beverages, especially H2O!! Given the chance, we'd definitely play again!

Decent but needs work

Area received good rain recently so we had some soggy conditions. Course of play was good. My largest complaint would be the greens. They are extremely bumpy and are impossible to get fair puts on. In my opinion, greens need work and definitely need rolled.

Excellent Experience On and Off the Course – Highly Recommend

I’ve played at this course several times and have consistently had a great experience. The staff is always welcoming and attentive, and the cost of play is very reasonable. The food and service at the 19th Hole are also excellent. I would gladly recommend this course to others and look forward to returning again soon.

Terrible

The greens are covered in weeds.. every putt is like Plinko.. they allowed several groups of 7-10 golfers.. the driving range is garbage.. you can't hit anything over 250 yards. The layout is terrible. Save yourself frustration and money.. play somewhere else. Staff was nice.
