CORTEZ GOLF CLUB
Cortez Golf Club is known as the shot maker’s course. You don’t have to have a long drive, but you’d better hit the landing area to avoid trouble. It’s a beautiful course winding its way across rolling hills through hickory, oak and pine trees and alongside sparkling water. The elevation changes and water hazards provide plenty of challenges, but five sets of tees accommodate most players. Many consider No. 10 as one of the toughest holes in the Village. It’s a 425-yard par-4 with a downhill slope before going back up to an elevated green. Designed by Ault, Clark & Associates Cortez has one of the most photographed scenes in the Village – the picturesque view of a mountain peak from the No. 17 tee.

DIAMANTE COUNTRY CLUB (PRIVATE)
CONTACT INFORMATION
2000 Country Club Drive
Hot Springs Village, AR 71909
(501) 922-1114
Diamante is the only private membership golf club in Hot Springs Village, first opening for play in 1995, and it’s widely recognized as one of the most challenging golf courses ever built, stretching to an incredible 7,560 yards from the back tees. Often seen as a big hitter’s paradise, five of the par 4 holes reaching out to over 470 yards.
The more memorable holes at Diamante include the water-laden par three 4th and the short par four 17th. Beware the trio of long par fours at 13 to 15 because this set of demanding holes, arriving so late in the round, has the potential to ruin any good score.
Contact the club regarding a “member for a day” afternoon promotional play. You’ll be glad you did.
