I went back to my hometown for a family reunion over the past week or so and squeezed out of the fam stuff to place some local courses. I played a tag round with a dozen or so people at the JB Hunt course in Bentonville AR. Nice little 9 hole course that has multiple tee pads that they used to make it 18. Mostly rolling hills in a park setting.
The second course was a reworked course that got trashed in an ice storm last year. It plays around a lake and has multiple water holes. Its mostly flat with mowed fairways and a lot of tall grass as OB on every hole. Pretty nice and a good mix of trees and long shots.
The third course was the nicest with rubber tee pads on concrete with nifty bag holders at every tee. This one was huge with a mix of water and walking paths as OB on every hole. It has a true island with one pin and a tee pad that carried water to about 200 ft. The front nine played in and out of the woods while the back nine must have averaged 500ft with one 1100 footer thrown in for good measure. It was all mowed and played with fairways and tall grass as OB. I don't know if they have named it yet but its in Bella Vista Arkansas and if anyone happened to be in that neck of they woods you should stop. The only downside the day I played it was temperature. It was about 95 degrees and 70 percent humidity.
All in all it was a good trip with some disc golf on the side. I know they have 4 or 5 courses in the works down there and hope to play them some day.
