Municipal golf in the South is a statement of democratic access in a region where private clubs dominate the conversation
Municipal golf in the South is a statement of democratic access in a region where private clubs dominate the conversation. At El Dorado, Arkansas, the 18-hole, 6,282-yard layout keeps the game available to anyone who shows up with clubs and shoes. Walking here is a choice that the cart culture around it doesn't always make easy. The course supports it. The slope of 107 signals an accommodating walk across flat terrain that welcomes players regardless of fitness level. Summer mornings in Arkansas are the window for comfortable walking golf. Afternoons become negotiable depending on the month.
