Walking a private course in the Southeast is a minor act of defiance against the region's cart-first defaults
Walking a private course in the Southeast is a minor act of defiance against the region's cart-first defaults. At Hot Springs Village, 18 holes over 7,560 yards of hilly Bermuda terrain means the walk has substance. In Southern heat, it demands respect. Members who walk here have made a deliberate choice. The turf holds better. The pace improves. The round feels earned. A slope of 143 is honest about what this course asks of you physically. Summer mornings in Arkansas are the window for comfortable walking golf. Afternoons become negotiable depending on the month. Pace of play ratings run high here, which matters when you're on foot and momentum is everything.
