HSV Golf Courses Comparison Chart

 
Village property owners' love for golf is fairly obvious, and the demand for quality golf keeps all the courses active with an average of 60,000 rounds per year per course.

Maintaining high standards has paid off for the Village courses.  Every golf course in the Village is meticulously manicured and constantly maintained so that the quality of golf is kept to the highest standards, and keeps many of the courses on the "Tops" list in Arkansas, the mid-South and the nation. 

Balboa Golf Course
& Country Club
5362 - 6725 Yards
Par 72             

Opened in 1987, this course has full country club facilities including restaurant, grill, lounge, pro shop, and driving range. 

Golf Digest rated Balboa No. 7 in the state's best rankings for 2005-2006

Balboa has always been and continues to be a Village favorite.  The fairways are flatter and more wide open, which allows golfers a bad shot and still keeps their score in good shape.  Balboa doesn't have as many sand traps as other Village golf courses, but has four holes where water comes into play.

This is a walker-friendly course that gets better with each round played. Fairways, tees and roughs are 419 Bermuda Grass and the greens are a blend of Penn Cross and Crenshaw Bent Grass.

According to the low handicap golfers in the Village, Balboa is a great test of golf and has some very tricky par 3's.

Balboa is slated for renovation in late fall of 2009.

The clubhouse at Balboa is a 20,000 square foot building featuring the Balboa Club, dining room, grill and full-service lounge.  The Balboa club seats approximately 180 people.  Meeting rooms and private dining rooms are available for groups.

The Balboa Restaurant and Lounge, located in the Balboa Clubhouse, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and has a full-service bar.  Patio dining is available, as well as music in the lounge.  Balboa features 'all you can eat' Sunday buffet.  Call the Balboa Restaurant & lounge at (501) 922-2909.

NO SAND! If you don't like bunker shots, this course is for you!

But don't be fooled. Coronado is as challenging from 150 yards as any in the Village.

"It is the hardest course in the Village to shoot par," John Paul, Director of Golf for Hot Springs Village commented.

The fairways, tees and roughs are Common Bermuda and the greens are Penn Cross Bent grass.

Cortez was renovated in late 2006 which greatly enhanced its playability and provides a state-of-the-art irrigation system. The renovation also included re-grassing the entire course, correcting drainage issues, and rebuilding several tees and greens.

Granada features Tif Sport Bermuda in the fairways, tees and roughs.  The greens are a blend of L93 and Crenshaw Bent Grass.  The signature hole on this course is the beautiful 18th with a meandering waterfall that stretches the length of the fairway.
