Beautiful and enjoyable

My wife and I really enjoyed the course - excellent condition - only negative was the greens were hard to read and lots of subtle breaks - made for challenging round. Beautiful surroundings and a number of really fun holes. We played here about & years ago and had forgotten how nice it was. Will be back!

Great course!

We had a great time playing at Mountain Ranch Golf course on Saturday! It was our first time to play here and our first time to visit Fairfield Bay. We will definitely be back. The gentleman helping check us in was so nice. We are weekend players only and the golf course was perfect for us. The back nine was very challenging and fun!

Course closed due to weather

Paid for two people to play on 2/9 with the golf now app, when we got there they were closed due to weather, I requested another date when they were open and the person there said he could not do that and he had no control over GolfNow and I would have to get my money back from GolfNow. . I have been using GolfNow for about a year and have been satisfied until now. GolfNow and the course should communicate if they are closed so this shouldn’t happen again. Please refund my $51.00 dollars.

Very pleased, but….

The greens were really nice and well kept and the course layout is great. Narrow fairways at times. Many different kinds of shots off the tee. The tee boxes have gotten a lot of sun at this point in the summer and the fairways were a little dry.

Fun Course

A course on the Arkansas Golf Trail, it's always fun to "play up" for an average golfer. Greens in great shape, course is well maintained. Fun round.

Worth it

This is one of the courses on the Arkansas Golf Trail and I have always wanted to play it.

For a low intermediate like me, I felt like I was playing at Augusta.

It's in really good shape and is a fun round.

Nice course.

This is a nice course with some challenging holes and beautiful views. The greens are well watered but the fairways and tee boxes were dry. They seem to be letting many of the sand traps go.

Great value

It's pretty difficult the first time you play it. Tee boxes and greens were consistent and good. Fairways were really good. Decent driving range and putting green. Compared to nearby Indian Hills, this is a pretty significant step up in quality and layout. I'd definitely pay the extra $10-$15 to play here.

Outstanding course!

My wife and I played Mountain View three times on our visit to Fairfield Bay. Course plays really nice. Greens were in great shape. Need to get used to playing on mountain courses. Lots of sloping fairways. Once you get used to playing mountain courses, you will find that Mountain Ranch is a great course to play.

The real deal.

This course is a must play. Challenging course with great holes. Greens are fast and difficult to read but held well and putted true. Beautiful scenery. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Sand traps could use a little more sand but were still not bad. I will make the five hour trip and utilize Wyndham to play this course again.

Beautiful course

The slogan Arkansas' best kept secret wasn't misleading. It's in the middle of the woods, and it's absolutely beautiful. The par three 2nd and par 3 12th are absolutely immaculate. The 12th has a huge drop-off that reads around 150 but played about 100 yards. I paid 60 dollars for all day, unlimited golf including lunch and a free sleeve of your ball of choice. The greens looked a lot faster than they were, however they were still in decent condition and most of them are pretty large. Definitely a must play if you live in Arkansas.
