Course Report
The Country Club of Little Rock is one of the oldest private clubs west of the Mississippi and played a key role in the development of the prestigious Pulaski Heights neighborhood.
About
The Country Club of Little Rock, established in 1902 and set in the historic Pulaski Heights neighborhood, is among the oldest and most prestigious private clubs in the South. Designed by Tom Bendelow, the layout features classic parkland routing overlooking the Arkansas River Valley and boasts expertly maintained Bentgrass greens.
Caddie Tip
Accuracy off the tee is paramount, as many tree-lined fairways can punish errant drives. Play for position rather than distance on most approach shots, especially with elevation changes and fast Bentgrass greens. Reading the subtle breaks on the putting surfaces is crucial to scoring well here.
The Main Challenge
Navigating the narrow, tree-lined fairways places a premium on precision, not just power. Quick Bentgrass greens and subtle elevation changes add difficulty. Approach shots demand thoughtful club selection, and players must maintain focus to avoid big numbers on the back nine.
The Good
Golfers love the classic layout and storied history, along with beautiful vistas of the Arkansas River Valley and a sense of tradition that pervades both the course and clubhouse. The course's challenging but fair design keeps skilled players returning, and the attentive staff enhances the overall member experience.
The Not So Good
Some players note that the pace of play can occasionally slow during peak member times. Additionally, the tight routing and tree density limit views and can result in some parallel fairways feeling a bit cramped, particularly for those who are new to the course.
