Eagle Crest Golf Course
About Eagle Crest Golf Course
Eagle Crest Golf Course opened in 1997 as the centerpiece of the 450-acre master-planned Eagle Crest community in Alma. The par-71 layout stretches 6,869 yards and was designed by Mark Hayes, a three-time PGA Tour winner from Oklahoma. The routing threads through heavily wooded terrain, and the Zoysia fairways move across more than 300 feet of elevation change.
Set in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains, the public course looks out over the Arkansas River Valley and the Ouachita Mountain Range, with wildlife common throughout the property.
The community sits just off Interstate 40 within the Alma city limits, a short drive from Fort Smith and farther north from Fayetteville and Bentonville.
