Service - disappointed

Raining so called ahead & confirmed corse playable & open. They said “yes” & “yes”. Drove there, no one there. Sign on door “Course closed”. Could not get anyone to answer ‘tee time’ or ‘pro shop’. Will we ‘burn’ for what we prepaid through FORE?

Not worth $30

Terrible sand traps with literally no sand in them, very narrow front nine. Greens were very bumpy and slow. The Hills on this course make it very challenging to play. Would not play it again.

No sand in the bunkers

About half of the fairways were freshly mowed. It has pretty weird layout. Golf carts are new.

Looking forward to playing again

This was the perfect course for me. Not too challenging as I'm not the best golfer. But challenging enough to make me a little better on my short game and visualizing distances to the pin. Could use more bunker work as admitted by the golf pro. Caught the greens in transition from winter to summer grass, so they weren't the fastest but they were well maintained. Scenic and some difficult spots. Worth the money and time. Course needs more people playing on it. Give it a shot!

Really fun course. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite places to play in central Arkansas. Very reasonably priced and a fun, challenging course with lots of dog legs, water holes, and elevation changes. Not a course for walking, as you won’t be able to keep up with the pace of play.

The course winds through a residential development, but the houses are usually set far enough from the fairways that they don’t ruin the woodland experience. The back tee on #4 provides one of the most panoramic views on the course. An elevated tee shot over a lake is framed by trees with a mountain peak in the distance. Highly recommend!
