Coronado

Coronado is Hot Springs Village's only executive-length course, an 18-hole par-62 at just 3,895 yards from the back tees with a modest 60.4 rating and 99 slope. Edmund Ault designed the course (opened 1983) specifically as the Village's short-game and beginner-friendly counterpoint to the nine-course portfolio's full-length tracks. It favors accuracy and scoring-club precision over length, which makes it ideal for wedge practice, family rounds, and a quick 18 when a full 7,000-yarder feels like too much. There are no sand bunkers anywhere on the course, a deliberate design choice by Ault to focus the challenge on green complexes and approach-shot placement. Despite the executive length, the course is as demanding from 150 yards as any other Village track, with small greens, subtle slopes, and tight pin positions making up-and-downs a legitimate test of short game. Coronado is the natural 'tune-up' round before a bigger day at DeSoto or Granada, and the lowest-priced round in the Village portfolio.
