Hot Springs Village (Granada)

Unveiled in 2004, the Granada Golf Course at Hot Springs Village is an Ed Ault and Tom Clark design extending to more than 7,000 yards. The signature 18th hole features a waterfall that meanders along the entire length of the fairway.

There are 171 golf holes in operation at Hot Springs Village, comprising eight public layouts (seven 18-hole courses plus one 27-hole set-up) and one private 18-hole course, the Diamante. The Granada was the last of these tracks to appear, opening for business in 2004.

In The American Golf Resort Guide, author Daniel Wexler writes: “the Granada course sits at the property’s northeast corner and features a demanding new millennium design whose slightly longer back nine carries the day.

Early on, it is highlighted by the 515-yard 12th (where a creek divides the fairway and flanks the green), before a big finish includes the 420-yard pond-guarded 16th and the 444-yard 18th, a dogleg left around still another pond.”
