About The Course
Granada Golf Course is a premier par‑72 championship layout stretching 7,115 yards from the tips, nestled in the rolling hills and pine forests of the Ouachita foothills . Designed by Ault & Clark & Associates and unveiled in 2004, Granada has earned recognition among Arkansas’s top‑ten public courses from Golf Digest for its breathtaking vistas and challenging routing . The wide fairways and sculpted bunkers invite aggressive play, while the subtle terrain shifts add strategic nuance to every shot.
Granada’s back nine delivers unforgettable drama, especially on the par‑4 17th — a demanding 465‑yard dogleg with a deep 60‑yard‑long green — and the iconic 18th, where a cascading waterfall runs the length of the fairway into a pond that guards the green . Water comes into play on several other holes, including 12 and 15, offering both visual appeal and strategic tests . The L95/Crenshaw bent‑grass greens are renowned for their responsiveness, and well-placed tee elevations frame sweeping mountain and valley views that delight golfers and enhance every round.

Course Layout
Hole-By-Hole Breakdown
Front 9
- Hole 1 – Par 5, 547 yd (Black Tees) A commanding opener with generous fairways and a clear sightline to the green. A strong drive sets up a bull-eye positioning for a birdie opportunity—just avoid drifting too far right, where roughers lurk.
- Hole 2 – Par 4, 330 yd A shorter par 4 that tempts aggressive play. While reachable for bold hitters, accuracy from the tee pays off most—favor placement over power to stay clear of trouble.
- Hole 3 – Par 4, 450 yd One of the longer opening holes, demanding both distance and precision. A strong fairway metal or hybrid ensures a manageable mid-iron approach.
- Hole 4 – Par 4, 432 yd Wide and fair, this hole allows freedom off the tee. Still, navigating the second shot around subtle slopes rewards thoughtful line and club choice.
- Hole 5 – Par 5, 505 yd A true three-shot challenge. Big hitters may go for glory, but strategic layups set up easier approaches—this hole rewards patience.
- Hole 6 – Par 3, 209 yd Launching from the back tees, this one-shot demands a confident long iron. The green is receptive and fair—stick the landing with pace.
- Hole 7 – Par 4, 424 yd Balanced layout with elevation changes. Tee prudence leads to ample angle into the well-bunkered green.
- Hole 8 – Par 3, 209 yd Similar to Hole 6, but shorter. Club down if wind is present—the front half of the green slopes away.
- Hole 9 – Par 4, 413 yd A strong pre-turn closer. The fairway frames a downhill second shot—commit to your club and let it release.
Back 9
- Hole 10 – Par 4, 347 yd A slight relief in length, but don’t let that fool you—the green is guarded and demands accuracy from the fairway.
- Hole 11 – Par 3, 205 yd A demanding tee shot. Play smart to the center of the green and avoid long, tricky putts from off the surface.
- Hole 12 – Par 5, 515 yd Another three-shot par 5 that offers birdie chances. Crafted layups place you inside 100 yards for a wedge into a receptive green.
- Hole 13 – Par 3, 172 yd Mid-distance and fairly straightforward—but missing left or right off the tee complicates the short grass.
- Hole 14 – Par 4, 442 yd A longer par 4 where a smooth swing off the tee pays dividends. Avoid pulling drives too far—favor control in this stretch.
- Hole 15 – Par 5, 586 yd The longest hole on the course. You’ll need a combination of distance, strategy, and poise to conquer this one. Layup options are wise for managing score.
- Hole 16 – Par 4, 420 yd Plenty of room off the tee—but the green is elevated. Carry your yardage and let your club do the work.
- Hole 17 – Par 4, 465 yd Known as one of the toughest in the Village, this long par 4 has a deep 60-yard green. Position your drive to allow a comfortable second—attack only when confident.
- Hole 18 – Par 4, 444 yd A dramatic finishing hole with a cascading waterfall framing the fairway. Requires both focus and finesse—stay disciplined off the tee and let the hole’s design reward you in return.
