Number 1 - Par 4

A medium length starting hole which should get the players off to a comfortable par. This hole dog-legs left, which is guarded by a large bunker, but a good drive may put you down to the base of the hill, where you would only have a wedge shot into the green.  

Number 2 - Par 4

The fun begins immediately, as this very long par 4 will test the length and accuracy of the golfer. There are no fairway bunkers to intimdate the drive, but the long approach into the well-bunkered green will be the true test.  

Number 3 - Par 5

A definate 3 shot approach for most golfers. The green will be tough to reach in two shots unless the drive can carry the crest of the hill, which will allow it to pick up additional yardage. Once again, there are no fairway bunkers, but a large grassy depression at the second landing area will require the golfer to play left to set up his approach. The smallish-tiered green will require the right club selection on the proper plateau.  

Number 4 - Par 3

The longest of the par 3s, with no sand bunkers at all, but a large pond on the left side to keep the golfer honest.  

Number 5 - Par 4

A monster par 4, with a split fairway cut into the hillside. The higher elevation permits the golfer a better view and also a downhill approach shot. 

Number 6 - Par 4

One of the two short par 4s on the course. This green may be reachable by the longest of hitters. If not, an iron tee shot and a short iron appraoch over a large sand bunker guarding the green will be a necessity. 

Number 7 - Par 3

A long par 3, with a demand carry over water to a well-guarded green that requires not only length, but also accuracy.  

Number 8 - Par 5

A long par 5 that can be managed in two shots by the better player. The drive and approach shot will require flirting with two large grass depressions, and the final approach into the green will be guarded by a "deception" bunker, well short of the green.  

Number 9 - Par 4

The tee shot is everything, as the landing area is well-guarded by 3 sand bunkers and 1 large grass depression. The green is guarded by a large bunker on the right side, so the tee shot should favor the left side where all the trouble is.  

Number 10 - Par 4

A dog-leg left, and somewhat similar to number 1. The landing area is guarded by grass depressions and a large "target" sand bunker on the right. The closer the tee shot to this bunker, the more open approach shot you'll have into the green, which has a huge sand bunker on the front left.  

Number 11 - Par 5

One of the more scenic holes, and the longest on the course. The tee shot must be placed close to the sand bunkers on the right, while avoiding the bunker in the middle of the fairway. This will set up the third shot, which can vary up to three clubs depending on the pin location on this long, narrow green.  

Number 12 - Par 3

The shortest of the par 3s, but one of the most demanding, with a large sand bunker guarding the entire left side. There are sharp grass depressions on the right, and a large mound on the back left, which can kick your ball in any direction. Club selection is paramount; as the pin goes back, the hole becomes more difficult.  

Number 13 - Par 4

A long par 4, but downhill on the tee shot with only a large grass depression in the corner of this dog-leg left hole. A long drive can carry the corner, setting up a shorter approach to the slightly uphill, undulating green complex.  

Number 14 - Par 4

This hole plays longest of the par 4s, since it is uphill. The hole will be difficult to birdie, or even par, though the large lake on the right should only come into play from the championship tee, the hill on the right and the target bunker on the left will make the tee shot challenging to say the least. The remaining distance must be covered "via air," as the green is elevated, but open in the front.  

Number 15 - Par 4

This hole begins the "final four" of your journey through Diamante. The large bunker on the right can be flown, thus offering a much shorter appraoch to the green, but should you fade or pull the ball, trouble awaits on either side of the landing area, as well as all around the green. The second shot is truly a risk-rewards situation, where, if you challenge the pin to the back part of the green, a birdie may await you, but if you err in club selection or direction, a double bogey awaits you.  

Number 16 - Par 3

A par 3, where a narrow band of green welcomes the correctly struck shot. Menacing bunkers to the front right will catch the misfortunate, and an up-and-down is difficult at best. Two long, back bunkers await you for a tricky downhill explosion shot.  

Number 17 - Par 4

A true garden spot. The view of this hole, with the large lake on the right, and the commanding view of the 18th as it winds its way to the clubhouse, are unparalleled anywhere in Arkansas. This is the other short par 4 on the golf course, and the bold may try to challenge the green off the tee, depending on wind direction. But once again, trouble abounds for the errant shot, whether you choose to lay up with an iron or fire at will.  

Number 18 - Par 5

An excellent finishing hole. Though uphill, it is reachable in two. A well-placed shot will challenge the large bunker on the right, which opens up a straight approach to the green over the many frontal bunkers. For those who choose an easier route, bunkers and grass depressions await. The green has three distinct tiers, which make club selection critical on the approach shot.
