Arkansas and Golf: Timberlands Region
Bring Your Woods To The Timberlands
Fifty million years ago, an ocean covered the south central and southwest portions of what is now Arkansas. When the waters receded, they left the West Gulf Coastal Plain--a part of the state that generally covers what we now call the Timberlands region. This gently undulating land has deep, wide rivers, pine and hardwood forests, and contours perfectly suited to the game of golf.

At Pine Bluff, Harbor Oaks Golf Course features bent grass greens, Tifton fairways and a par 72 layout with several of its 18 holes overlooking the Arkansas River. Pine Bluff's Rosswood Country Club and the Pine Bluff Country Club courses are also popular.
To the west in the Timberlands, the Texarkana Country Club par 72 course is treasured for its traditional layout, clubhouse and aesthetic beauty. The 18th hole, a 440-yard par 4, is one of the course's most challenging holes.
Other Timberlands courses include the El Dorado Country Club 18 and El Dorado Lions Club 9, the Fordyce Country Club 9, the Magnolia Country Club 18, Nashville Country Club 18 and Pine Hills Country Club 9 at Smackover.
