Great Course near the lake

Tannenbaum is a Gem! Great Staff, Great layout and the greens are in great shape! It’s in early dormancy now but the greens have recently been planted w/rye and are rolling great. Go Play!!

Great ARkansas Course

We play this golf course every time we’re in the area. The course is entering dormancy but is in great shape, especially the greens. You cannot go wrong here!!

Leaves everywhere

Probably need to have the Marshall blowing leaves off some of the greens instead of looking for lost golf balls... The grill closed early (30 minutes) even after stopping by after finishing the front 9 to insure we would be able to get something to eat after we finished the back nine - VERY disappointing! We have enjoyed the course and the grill many times over the past 12 months!

Adventurous greens!

We visited this course twice, 10/22 and 10/27. The course is beautiful and well-maintained. Loved the fall colors.

The greens are rolling/wavy, with very little flat surface, making birdies hard to come by, even playing a scramble, as our foursome did.

We'll be back.

Slow bumpy greens

We chose this course because it was listed as the #1 public course for Arkansas. We extended a trip to stay a few extra days in order to play. The course is very scenic but not in very good shape. Bent grass greens but the slowest I have ever played in 50 years of golfing. Definitely overpriced for the condition. Layout and flow was really odd with backtracking from green to tee.

Loved It

Loved this course. Some of the greens had just been aerated and were a bit sandy but other than that the course was in good condition. A lot of left to right shaped holes which is good for my fade. I'll be going back.

Great value

A fun course to play. A few really gorgeous holes. Usually well kept. I drive 1 1/2 hours to play there and I like to go often. They have a replay rate of cart fee only, so I never go for 18. I usually play 27 and on occasion have played 36. Great value for the money.

Loved the course, but thought the Patterson Tree could use some trimming. 😆

Sat Slow Play

Since one of the sister courses was hosting a tournament, pace was slow and especially since a sixsomes was allowed to play in front of us...
