Our Founding

Opened in 1997, Eagle Crest Golf Course is the centerpiece of the approximately 450-acre master planned Eagle Crest community.  The heavily treed 6,869-yard, Par 71 Golf Course was designed by Mark Hayes, a three-time PGA tour winner from Oklahoma.  Eagle Crest received a four-star rating from Golf Digest in 2008 for “Best Places to Play”, making it one of the top public courses in the State.  We are one of 13 courses included on the Natural State Golf Trail of Arkansas.

In the foothills of the Ozark mountains, overlooking the Arkansas River Valley and the Ouachita mountain range, the varied topography of our lush Zoysia grass fairways will challenge your game and provide breathtaking views.  Just off Interstate 40, in the city limits of Alma, our community is just minutes from Fort Smith and a short scenic drive from Fayetteville and Bentonville.  The quiet natural beauty and abundant wildlife of the area, along with the superb Alma School district, makes our community an excellent choice for your family or for your retirement years.

Closed in March of 2020, Eagle Crest is reopening under new ownership and an enthusiastic management team.  Improvements are being made throughout the course, including newly replaced greens.  Renovations are being done on the pro shop and clubhouse facilities. 

Come see us at Eagle Crest Golf Course, where you will be welcomed by our friendly staff, enjoy beautiful views, and have a wonderful golfing experience.
