The Country Club of Arkansas

Compared to other public courses, pace of play is usually very slow. If they aren’t going to have Marshall’s enforce pace of play, they need to put more time between tee times. Also need to do some simple upkeep… trees trimmed so carts can drive under, remove debris, etc.

Bunkers were a little rough and greens can be pretty bumpy. Great value and not too slow.

I’m by no means a golf snob when it comes to courses, but this place is in really poor shape. The staff were all very nice and accommodating, but the course is terrible. There’s no real practice putting green. It looks like they converted an old tee box, tiny little thing. Everything looks like either they ran out of money or nobody cares, or both. Most greens are in really bad shape with weeds growing in them, bald spots, heat spots already? The fairways have poor drainage so even days after it’s rained everything is muddy, live they’re not doing ongoing maintenance or sanding. The tee boxes are an afterthought on most holes. The cart paths are a wreck, in many cases broken up and underwater from creeks and other areas that don’t drain. No signage on the course telling you where to go. There are a few holes that border some nice houses that were in good shape, but 12-15 of the holes look like a rundown municipal course. It’s a shame, because I heard this was a nice place 10-15 years ago. Again, the people working there were nice, but the facilities and grounds are very poor for a semi-private facility.
