Everything was fine until I met Cindy in the pro shop. She’s in the wrong job. I felt like I was checking into Alcatraz instead of getting ready to enjoy my day, playing golf with my son. I feel sorry for everyone who works with her and all the future guests who have to deal with her. I won’t be one of them. It doesn’t matter how nice your golf course is if your staff graduated from rude school with honors.

Then just another memorable experience at Hot Springs village, this time playing DeSoto golf course. Wonderful facility, friendly staff and well organized. We put new screws and nuts in here got paired up with three locals and it was a great way to meet some other friendly golfers at new the course to show me around. A lot of rain the previous week made some areas still a little mushy with mud some of the grass have been tore away from the ground. Greens ran true and smooth fairways were in great condition. Decent-sized practice putting green and driving range. Well stocked pro shop and the snack bar/restaurant had a good hot dog. DeSoto golf course is right on the same level as all the other courses inside Hot Springs village. I've played six of the eight golf courses. What is a private course that I didn't play one is a executive course that I didn't play. But the six that I have played have been nothing but top notch facilities. If you get a chance to play any of the six courses that are regulation in length at Hot Springs village I highly highly recommend that you do it will be a wonderful time.

If you haven't eaten here lately, you are really missing out. We are trying everything on the menu and so far, it has been spectacular - both the food and the service. You may need to make reservations

Dinner was delicious! DeSoto has the best fried catfish in the village!

I was just visiting for future reference. The staff was friendly and helpful. I'm looking forward to playing DeSoto soon.
