Beautiful course

The Highlands is one of the best courses in NWA. The 9’s were inverted which is really the best way to play this course as the front nine is much more challenging and tracks through the forest. Course condition was fantastic. We got a great deal and were able to play for only $31. The greens were in pretty great shape, and the bunkers are well maintained. Something really cool is that the bunkers in BV don’t use a white fluffy sand like at other courses, but it’s not dirt either. I can only describe it as a “gritty” feeling that causes your wedge to skim through very well. I love hitting out of them. Everyone was super happy and friendly here. One staff member even stopped and joked with us on our 11th tee box as he was driving back to the club house. Pace of play got a bit backed up on the back nine. Our pace was at 4:25.

Good track.

In fairness, with the hot weather, they’ve got the course about as good of a shape as you could expect. Greens naturally were a little on the slower side, but, smooth and pretty true.

Incredible scenery

This is a very interesting layout. Feels like you're on a private safari as you move through the front nine. Tree lined and lush. Back nine opens up a little with longer holes. In spite of the fact that we had a lot of rain the night before, the course was very playable, and the greens rolled very true.

Great course

Great course with some challenging holes but very fun. The course is challenging in regard to some of the narrow fairways but it makes you think your game through a little more.
The staff is friendly and they run this place like a well oiled machine. It was busy but never really had to wait. Would definitely be back.

Breezy

Fairways still need a couple of weeks - dormant bermuda still prevalent. Greens were in great shape and fairly quick. Hole locations were in some really tricky spots so it was very tough to stay below the hole.

Great course for more experienced players

This course is a great course with challenging holes for more experienced golfers. Beginner golfers would struggle and lose balls due to the course playing tighter than most public courses

Winter Sunday, Good value course

Good experience with a four man scramble with my brothers and a friend. Challenging course, not super forgiving on several holes outside of the fairway with lots of woods. A long course with several par 5’s and some considerably long par 3’s (one notable 200 yard par 3 from the second tee box). This course was good for me as a 12-15 handicap; my brothers are less experienced and probably lost a ball on most holes in the woods, so maybe a little too challenging for novice golfers. We had a good time though. Course was in good shape for winter, with decent tee boxed and greens. Great bunkers, raked recently. We didn’t have time to use the range, but it looked great. views on several holes are great, and I’m sure much better in Spring or mid-fall. Hole 9 is the shortest hole by far, maybe 115 yards from the second tees over a fountain pond, a pretty downhill approach with a good chance at landing it close. Would come back some time. Customer service was fine.

Hilly Bella Vista Gem

Second time playing here this year. Very friendly and helpful staff and Marshalls. Busy day on the course so pace was about average, but to be expected on such a gorgeous day.
This course has it all. Lots of hills, tree lined fairways, elevated tee boxes, elevated greens, some flat runs, some blind dogleg shots, T shots over water. Awesome!
Course was in excellent shape. Greens are fast and challenging and pins were in some tough spots today.
This was day 1 of a 3 day golf excursion.. (Highlands, Country Club and Dogwood)
Highlands has an awesome practice range, chipping green with sand trap and separate putting green. Carts are excellent and clean..
Will be back here again.
