If you're searching for a relaxed yet challenging golf experience, look no further than Lakeside Country Golf Club in Hot Springs, AR. This family-owned, 9-hole course may be a little off the beaten path, but it's worth the visit for golfers of all skill levels. The course itself is thoughtfully designed, providing a good mix of challenging holes that will test your accuracy and strategy. The fairways and greens were in good shape during my visit, clearly reflecting the care and attention put into maintaining the grounds. One of the best parts of my experience was the friendly atmosphere. The staff greeted us warmly and were always ready to help with any questions. Lakeside Country Golf Club offers a refreshing change from larger, busier courses. With its laid-back vibe, challenging and small greens, and personal touch, it's a local treasure perfect for a casual round or for anyone looking for something different.

There's not much better than being treated to a hidden gem like Lakeside Country Golf at dawn on Independence Day with your son in tow. This track sports nine perfectly quaint holes (2800 +/- from blue) tucked in the hills adjacent to Spencer Bay on Lake Catherine. The clubhouse and staff are welcoming as one would expect when essentially playing in someone's back yard. Tiny fuzzy (intentionally so) greens make up and down tough and critical to scoring and defend the course well. Left off the tee or long over the green is death at this awesome well kept oasis.

What an excellent golf course! My husband and I just started golf about a year ago so we are pretty new. Since we are on vacation in Hot Springs, we decided to stop by here and play some golf. I was nervous since we have never been here before but the staff and other players were so welcoming and nice to us. Beautiful course with ponds and bunkers that really give you a challenge. I couldn’t recommend this place enough!

Family owned golf course with tons of challenges. Small yardages but the course slope makes this place an awesome place to play. We played the 9 hole course back to back and it was very enjoyable both times. Good greens, fully stocked clubhouse, and even better hospitality. I highly recommend this place.

This place is the best... Can't wait for our third annual scramble here. Looking forward to seeing Amy, the pups, and District 5 receiving the worst beatdown in golf that has ever been given. Talk about a Hole in One.
