Loved the golf. Challenging, but not impossible for weekend golfers. Priced right. Now if you could just get Bogies restaurant to have the same level,of customer service as the pro shop and get them to serve food.

The Bella Vista Country Club Golf Course is the community’s oldest golf course and can best be described as a "classic" design that mildly rolls through the valley along U.S. 71. The course offers four sets of tees to challenge all skill levels. While long and challenging, the course can be walked as there are few hills. Golf carts are available, as are rental clubs.

We had heard about this course from another golfer. It exceeded all our expectations. Not only could we take our RV and stay at the beautiful State Park, we also played 36 holes at the Ridges. The timber setting, hills, scenery and the challenging course is now our favorite. We drove 7 hours to spend most of a week there and we loved every minute. The golf was the highlight and Tony at the Pro Shop was extremely friendly and helpful!! Thank you Arkansas!

Another great Labor Day weekend at Tannenbaum! this coarse has the best bent grass putting surface plus an amazing layout with plush fairways. If you keep your ball in play like I do, then you can score well. We saw scores from -2 to +20. We take a big group every year. Don't miss out
10. Mystic Creek Golf Club

Reviewed By Critical329 - Southern Pines, United States
Built in 2013, by the El Dorado based Murphy Oil Company; Mystic Creek is a gem of a course. The greens are treacherous, but you now know that, so plan your second, third (or fourth) shot accordingly. As locals told us, "If the pin is in a certain area of the green, you'll have to hit your shot exactly to that area". Very true. Well maintained and with water and traps galore on every hole, you need to warm up, and shoot accurately. I'm 15 handicap, my wife 12-13; and we played the White & Red tees. IMHO- if you're over a 12 handicap- play the Yellow tees (slope 125, 5577 yards). Sounds short, but with hazards and water, as well as the touchy greens- you'll see. Patio restaurant wasn't open, but food to go, can be ordered. It's Troon affiliated, so we paid $70/ea. The clubhouse appears brand new. Staff was very nice. No carts in the parking lot. large practice green is representative of course.
