Hot Springs Village (9-course cluster)

The largest single-location golf destination on the Natural State Trail: nine 18-hole courses (one is 27-hole Isabella) totaling 171 holes inside the 26,000-acre Hot Springs Village POA community. The marquee three are Isabella (Ault Clark 2000, 27 holes ranked #1 in AR by Golf Digest 2002-2006), Balboa (Ault Clark 1988), and Magellan (Ed Ault / Tom Clark 1996, the precision-over-length scoring course). DeSoto, Cortez, Coronado, Granada, and Ponce de Leon round out the public-play courses; Diamante is members-only. POA membership not required for play — semi-private public access through any Village booking. Per-course detail lives at the hot-springs-village-ar destination (id 67); this trail row is the parent reference for itinerary purposes.
