Course Report
Stonebridge Meadows has hosted major regional tournaments including USGA and state championship qualifiers, making it a central figure in Arkansas golf.
About
Stonebridge Meadows Golf Club is an acclaimed public course in Fayetteville, Arkansas, designed by Randy Heckenkemper and opened in 1997. Carved through the Ozark landscape, it features generous Bermuda fairways, quick bentgrass greens, and a challenging design suitable for all skill levels. The course is recognized for its superb conditions, scenic vistas, and top-tier hospitality.
Caddie Tip
Play conservatively off the tee to avoid the numerous fairway hazards, especially on longer par 4s and 5s. The course rewards accurate approach shots and smart layups. Club selection is crucial on bentgrass greens, which are quick and well-contoured. Take extra care reading the greens as subtle breaks are common.
The Main Challenge
The toughest challenge is navigating the well-placed water hazards and deep greenside bunkers, especially on the closing stretch. The quick, undulating bentgrass greens demand precise approach shots and deft putting. Tee shots require accuracy to avoid trouble while risk-reward opportunities tempt big hitters.
The Good
Golfers rave about the scenic Ozark setting, especially the expansive views from elevated tees and the pristine course conditions. The rolling fairways and consistently fast greens add to the enjoyment, while a friendly staff and southern hospitality make every round memorable. The layout is known for being both challenging and fair.
The Not So Good
Some players report slow pace of play on busy weekends due to the course’s popularity. Occasional drainage issues after heavy rain can affect a few holes. There is also demand for expanded food options in the clubhouse and more shaded areas for hot summer rounds.

18
