The Sage Meadows Hole-by-Hole Review

The course plays at roughly 6,900 yards and is consistently ranked among the top semi-private golf courses in the state. The course offers some of the best zoysiagrass fairways and lush bentgrass greens. With water on nine of the holes, Sage Meadows offers great tournament play as well as enjoyment for the recreational round. Holes of notable mention include the 2nd hole with a waterfall dedicated to the memory of the late Rachel Stewart, the 6th hole with a tight tee shot between water on the left and trees on the right, the signature 9th hole with a beautiful but treacherous water hazard from tee to green, and the 14th hole which can rank among the toughest on the course if not played properly.

 Sage Meadows  has been  host to several tournaments including the NEA Open, The Rachel Stewart Golf Classic, Heartland Players Senior TourT, and the Arkansas State University Golf Classic.


"Sage Meadows is a great golf course.  It forces you to work the ball and punishes youor bad shots. Whether you come for a fun day of golf or for a business meeting, Sage Meadows is the perfect place."
