Still in the 90s

My wife and I always have a great time at Diamond Head. She doesn't play but drives the golf cart and helps me look for my lost golf balls. Still shooting in the 90s but those 80s are going to come if I can just keep playing more. It was a beautiful day with a nice breeze and the course was beautiful.

Greens were awful

If you like putting on shag carpet, this is the place for you. Condition of the course varies. Front 9 was fairly decent, but the back 9 was awful. Not a part of the renowned Hot Springs Village golf courses, so don't be fooled. They do have hot deals, so if you want to save some money it may be alright for you.

Uh, stay away

This course is in poor shape, greens are awful, and I wouldn’t play it again if it were free. Greens were unplayable. Terrible experience. Nice guy in the pro shop though. Stay away, go bowling, or watch tv instead. Anything but play this course.

BETTER DAY

HAD A BETTER DAY...SHOT A 98 THE BEST I HAVE DONE IN THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS. USED TO SHOOT IN THE 80S AND THAT IS MY GOAL TO GET BACK THERE. HAD 5 PARS AND WAS PROUD OF THAT BUT WHOLE NUMBER 6 AND 18 ATE MY LUNCH....LONG PAR FIVES. THE PEOPLE AT DIAMONDHEAD ALWAYS TREAT US VERY NICELY FROM THE FRONT GATE GAURD TO THE PRO SHOP AND THE 19TH HOLE.

Just another fun day

My wife and I just have the best time at Diamond Head, the staff is always nice and helpful. We enjoy eating a bite on the 19th Hole after nine holes and all the members and staff treat us very nicely. Would probably play tomorrow but going deer hunting. Thank you Diamond Head for helping Janie and I getting out and enjoying Gods beautiful land.

Sincerely,

Russ and Janie Smith

Great course

Enjoyed the layout. The front nine is straight and narrow with one hole following the other and the back is a cluster of holes. Great course for the money and the next time I visit Hot Springs it will be on my list.
