This tree-lined course plays longer than the yardage indicates. Water hazards come into play on several holes, and numerous trees and sand bunkers have been incorporated into the course design. "Golf Digest" rated it as the 10th "Best in State" course for 1997-98. Beginning in the fall of 1997, Jay Morrish will be redesigning the course. The Nike Tour's Fort Smith Classic is held on this course.

Belle Terre Country Club
"Good golf, great price!"
This golf course is in good shape and is a great test of golf. The cost of playing 45.00 with a cart is a bargin!

"A DANDY CLOSE TO HOME"
A GOOD TEST OF GOLF. NOT MANY STRAIGHT HOLES. REQUIRES MOVING BALL RIGHT TO LEFT AND LEFT TO RIGHT. AND WATCH OUT FOR THOSE +200 YARD PAR THREE'S

"Great Private Course - Gem in CNY"
If you have a reciprocal with this course, you should take advantage. It's well maintained, with narrow fairways, and challenging greens. You need to have your iron game, because your second shot into most greens is critical. A bail out will cost you a stroke, as almost all holes have sand bunkers guarding the greens. Good fun for the ave golfer and player alike. A real Must Play.

"This course helped my game!"
With it's many doglegs and elevation changes, this course will quickly teach the beginners how to setup their approaches, while giving the lower handicap players a reasonably challenging round. 5 of the first nine pins cannot be seen from the tees. If you spray your tee shots, you will surely be struggling to make par. The par threes are deceiving with two short downhills, and two 150-ish up hills. These have been my achilles heel. There are not to many water hazzards, but they are well/poorly place depending on your tendancies. They can easily swallow your ball if your not carefull. The traps are typically limited to wrapping the greens, but watch out for the 5th hole, with its deceiving horizontal sand at 230 yards out. The grounds are well kept with mid speed greens that exactly match the practice green. Prepare for an even mix of wide and narrow fairways, and many misleading doglegs, both slight and sharp. This course has made me a better golfer, and I can't say that about many. Enjoy!
