Northwest Arkansas Golf Courses & Tee Times in Georgia

Northwest Arkansas golf runs from Bella Vista's property-owner courses down to Fort Smith. The best-known event is the LPGA Tour's Walmart NW Arkansas Championship, played at Pinnacle Country Club in Rogers every year since 2007. Stacy Lewis, then a University of Arkansas senior, was declared the unofficial winner of the rain-shortened first one. Fayetteville's Blessings Golf Club, a private Robert Trent Jones Jr. course, hosted the 2019 NCAA men's and women's championships.

Why tee times in Northwest Arkansas are hard to get

In Northwest 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

A full tee sheet rarely stays full. Many courses let you cancel without a fee up to 24 or 48 hours before your time, so spots tend to reappear in the last couple of days. A bad forecast shakes more loose, and a foursome that drops to three opens a single. None of it is announced. The time just shows up again on the booking page, and whoever looks first gets it.

Doing it by hand? Here's what works.

  1. 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.
  2. Look again 24 to 48 hours out. That's when most cancellation deadlines pass and spots come back.
  3. Be flexible on group size. Singles and twosomes fit into gaps a foursome can't.
  4. Try twilight and weekday afternoons. They're the last to fill and often cheaper.

Tee times in Northwest Arkansas: questions

How do I get notified when a tee time opens up in Northwest Arkansas?

Set a watch in Yoink for the courses you want, the days you can play, a time window and the number of players. Yoink checks those tee sheets every few minutes and sends a notification as soon as a matching time appears, cancellations included. You book it directly with the course.

When do tee time cancellations usually show up?

Mostly in the 24 to 48 hours before the tee time, as golfers cancel ahead of the course's cancellation deadline, and whenever the weather forecast changes. They appear without notice and tend to be rebooked quickly.

How far in advance can you book a tee time in Northwest Arkansas?

It depends on the course. Many public courses open bookings 7 to 14 days ahead, and town or county courses often give residents an earlier window. Each course's own booking page has its policy.

When is golf busiest in Northwest 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.

Does Yoink book the tee time for me?

No. Yoink tells you when a time opens; you book it with the course on its own booking page, at the course's price, with no extra fee.
