Overall Nice Course

We had a good time at Mountain Ranch. The greens

We’re in good shape. The bunkers were pretty tuff though

Great views and at points we felt we had the course all to ourselves.

Summer heat taking its toll

Greens were green but many of the greens had damage. Fairways were hard and dry. Foer me nearly impossible to get under the ball. Value was great with holders and promo. Staff was friendly. Cart worked as it should.

Tannenbaum Golf Course

We were only able to play 3 greens on the front 9 due to the sprinklers running. I mentioned this to the staff and they didn’t seem concerned about that. They had a 3 school tournament starting at noon. Even with that I was able to book a tee time at 11:00 he expressed that they have problems with golf now scheduling.

Fun course

Course layout was fun but tricky. Several fairways tilt which made it hard for tee shot to stay in the fairway. Fairways weren’t cut short. It was like hitting from the fringe all day, consequently losing distance. Greens were inconsistent. But they looked as though were recently verticut.

Small range/irons only. Although this experience was riddled with exceptions, I would definitely play again and recommend it to anyone.

Greens kinda tore up

Beautiful course, all well kept except sand traps and greens. Greens looked abused by people not repairing and sand traps were real rough hazard.

One of the best courses in Arkansas

Premium course for reasonable price. If you weigh in the cost to course and compare to other courses with their prices, this potentially the best course in Arkansas depending on conditions. Which are usually excellent.

Great value!

My first time playing this course and I had an awesome round. I played on a Sunday afternoon and the course was wide open. Greens are huge and rolled fast. The par 3's were by far the highlight of the round. All of them have beautiful looking tee shots with big elevation change. #12 is my favorite hole on the course. 180 yards from the blues. Strait down hill about 150 foot drop. Fairways are a bit rough but in decent shape. Loved all of the trees and how connected with nature it felt while playing. I would definitely recommend and

Still an awesome track

Tee boxes, fairways and greens were freshly cut and beautiful. This scenic course has generous landing areas from the tees and large bermuda greens that are in great shape with no dead spots. Some of the bunkers are not raked and have drainage issues so it’s fair to lift clean and place in those. They are obviously working hard on bunkers. There was no beverage person or water on the course so come prepared. They’re fine with tumblers. Mountain Ranch is an excellent golf course and a screaming bargain.

Hidden gem

I live in Springfield, Mo and my cousin lives in Cabot, Ar. We were looking for someplace to meet in the middle(sort of) and found this place. Absolutely beautiful course and a challenge for a bogie golfer like me. I didn’t even care that I didn’t shoot well because the course was so pretty. Definitely worth the drive and at a great price point we will be meeting back there multiple times in the future.

Awesome course

Easily the one of the best public courses in the state, greens were exquisite and fairways were in awesome shape for the heat wave we have had.
