The Golf Course at DeGray State Park
This course is a delight to play.  Everywhere you look there is water.  13,500 acres of water surround the course.   Designed by Leon Howard in 1976, the track has  many mature trees and of course water hazards.  Water comes into play on eight holes.  Ranked #11 in the state by Golf Digest, this layout from 6,930 yards makes you bring your long game or it will cause you to have a long day.

Belvedere Country Club
When you play here, you will experience everything to be first class.  Designed by Herman Hackbarth in 1927, this mature course has very tight hilly fairways, some gimmicks and tons of risk-reward holes.  As past host of the Arkansas State Four Ball Tournament, Belvedere features fast, well-bunkered and undulating greens.  Water comes into play on six holes from four lakes.  The signature hole is #17, a par 3 with scattered bunkers starting 50 yards away from the green.

Hot Springs CC, Arlington Course
This is the big challenge course of the package.  Designed by William Diddel in 1932, the track was built on hilly terrain and water hazards come into play on three holes.  Ranked #4 in state by Golf Digest, this track features the 12th as its toughest hole.  With an elevated tee, you can encounter the road on the left, 2 pot bunkers, a creek and an uphill green.  It has over a 6 foot slope in front and a bunker left and right protecting the putting surface.

Hot Springs CC, Majestic Course
The sister course to Arlington was built in 1889 by Willie Park, Jr. and redesigned by Diddel in 1932 and again by Smiley Bell in 1949.  Crenshaw also tweaked the greens and a pond was added recently.  The course is 5 to 6 strokes easier than Arlington, but still very challenging.  Your fun day is completed when you play the signature hole #18, a 380 yard, par 4.   Standing on the tee you see the impressive clubhouse and then you must maneuver around the water on the right.  Your approach must find the correct spot on this 2-tier green.
