Degray State Park Golf Course

The rolling Ouachita foothills provide a dramatic canvas for this state park layout, where elevation changes of up to 100 feet create genuine strategic interest on nearly every hole. Dense Arkansas pine and hardwood forests frame generous fairways that reward accuracy over brute force, while the par-3 7th plays downhill to a peninsula green that demands both nerve and precision. What elevates this track above typical municipal fare is the routing's clever use of natural terrain—you'll find yourself hitting everything from wedges off elevated tees to long irons from creek-crossed valleys.
