Little Rock & Central Arkansas Golf Courses & Tee Times
Public golf in Little Rock sits along the Arkansas River. The city's Rebsamen Park course is in a bend of the river, and North Little Rock's Burns Park is just across it. The map has shrunk: Little Rock stopped golf at Hindman and War Memorial in the summer of 2019, and the parks have since been studied for trails and other uses. The Arkansas State Golf Association keeps its office in Little Rock and brought its 2023 Men's Match Play to Burns Park.
Good weekend tee times in Little Rock & Central Arkansas go fast, and the ones that come back later (cancellations, groups that shrink) aren't announced. Yoink watches the tee sheets at 21 public courses here, from Maumelle, Pine Bluff, Sherwood, Cabot and Jacksonville, and tells you the moment a time you want opens up.
The longest layout here is Greystone Country Club at 7,051 yards; there is one nine-hole course.
Who runs public golf in Little Rock & Central Arkansas
Two city parks departments run the public golf here. Little Rock Parks and Recreation has Rebsamen, an 18-hole course with a nine-hole executive course and a range, and the First Tee Golf Course, home of First Tee of Central Arkansas, with a nine-hole regulation course and a nine-hole par-3. North Little Rock runs Burns Park, 36 holes off I-40 at Exit 150. Burns has a Championship Course, with a copy of the Swilcan Bridge on the 15th, and an 18-hole Tournament Course that opened in 1995. Juniors 17 and under play free at Burns with a paying adult, any time Monday to Thursday and after noon on weekends and holidays.
Public courses worth knowing in Little Rock & Central Arkansas

- Burns Park Golf Course: North Little Rock's 36 holes. The Championship Course has a Swilcan Bridge copy on 15; the Tournament Course opened in 1995. It hosted the ASGA Men's Match Play in 2023.

Why tee times in Little Rock & Central Arkansas are hard to get
In Little Rock & Central Arkansas, the busiest months are spring and fall. In summer, everyone wants to finish before the heat, so early tee times go first.
Each course releases its tee times on its own schedule, commonly a week or two out, with residents of town and county courses often booking first. Leagues, outings and members claim chunks of the sheet in advance, and whatever prime weekend times are left tend to go on release day.
When tee time cancellations happen
Booked-up doesn't mean gone. Plans change: groups cancel ahead of the course's cancellation deadline (often 24 to 48 hours out), players drop when the forecast turns, and a group that shrinks leaves an open spot. Those times quietly come back on the booking page, usually for minutes, not hours.

Watch all 21 courses in Little Rock & Central Arkansas. Hear the moment one opens.
Yoink watches all 21 courses in Little Rock & Central Arkansas for you. The open tee times sit in one place instead of a dozen booking pages, and your phone buzzes the moment one fits your day, time window and group, cancellations included.
Doing it by hand? Here's what works.
- Know the booking window. Find out how many days ahead each course releases times, and whether residents get an earlier window. Be ready the morning it opens.
- Look again 24 to 48 hours out. That's when most cancellation deadlines pass and spots come back.
- Be flexible on group size. Singles and twosomes fit into gaps a foursome can't.
- Try twilight and weekday afternoons. They're the last to fill and often cheaper.
- Keep a quicker course in your back pocket. Nine-hole and executive courses are easier to get on and play faster. Around here that includes Riverland Country Club - 9 Holes.

When is golf busiest in Little Rock & Central Arkansas?
Demand is highest in spring and fall, and early in the morning in summer. Weekend mornings are always the hardest tee times to get.
