Hot Springs Country Club
About Hot Springs Country Club
Hot Springs Country Club dates to 1898, when it was founded as a semi-private club serving both local members and visiting golfers. Set in the foothills of the Ouachitas, with lakes and national park land nearby, the club has maintained a tradition of Southern hospitality for well over a century.
The property offers 36 holes, giving golfers a choice of contrasting experiences. The Arlington course was renovated by Masters champion Ben Crenshaw, a project that brought in bentgrass greens and restored much of the original classic design. Its Bermuda fairways run narrow and steep through rolling hills, making for a demanding round at any skill level.
