Pros: This course is a great course. This is probably the best course in Northwest Arkansas in my opinion. On holes 1 and 16, the baskets are elevated and really add to the challenge. Also, the course is named Twin Creeks because there are 2 creeks that run along the course and come into play in 10 of the 18 holes. this makes this course fun and challenging. Also, the course has been cleaned up quite a bit. The owners have really tried to make it the best it can possibly be and i think they have made improvments that are benefitial to the overall course. All holes have either a bench or a trash can (exept for 7). The baskets are also very nice. They are like Mach 2's but im not shure. The teepads have been redone and are straighter now. Very nice locals. Also, there is a practice basket across the bridge on the right side of the sign.
Cons: The layout of this course can be confusing and not make sense at times. People playing this course for the first time should take a picture of the big sign at hole one and use that for reference. As of 4/28/13, someone has taken the time to paint in spray paint on the grass to show where the next tee is on which helps extremley for new comers. The teepads used to be awful because they were very uneven and crazy. Now, only a few are like that but the somewhat complaint here is that the tees are rubber. I wish they were not rubber because i played this course yesterday for the 15th time and on hole 17, i slipped while throwing. Im not saying that i must have concrete but it would be a nice addition to the course. Hole 13 is kindof annoying. Since the owners never change the basket placement, it is a long narrow path for 600 something feet. This hole could be improved because its just so boring. Also, if youre playing in the summertime, bring long socks or bug spray because the bugs are crazy and you could leave with red spots all over your legs. Also, mini cactuses sometime are grown and can really hurt.
Other Thoughts: The baskets are blue and silver just like the high school that the course is behind. Overall, This course is a great course. I play this course whenever i can. The pictures of this course need to be updated because they have made multiple improvments to this course. If you dont believe me, on hole 7 a month ago, I was putting and i saw 2 people pulling out the bog to the left of the hole. Also the elevated basket on 16 finally has stairs, hole 3 is wide open now and there are no chest high weeds on either side and no mound in the fairway anymore. Like i said the benches, trash cans, and redone tpads have been added in the last month. This course is already one of the best in my opinion and is only going to get better. If youre in the area or just driving by, give it a chance, this course wont dissapoint.

Pros: Monkey Trap baskets on every hole. This is one of the hugest pluses the course has going for it at the moment.
Basket elevation on holes 1 and 16 are great, always adds an extra challenge to par/birdie out.
For the most part, there were bridges when necessary for creek crossing.
A few of the bigger holes were great, especially when combined with the tree placement.

Cons: Biggest con I have is the teepads. They were extremely inconsistent. Some were made of very slick metal, which would be okay if I had brought shoes for that type of tee. I normally use trek shoes, but every run up I had on these tees I slid quite a bit. Other times with the rubber mats, they extremely uneven. There would be two places together with a mound of dirt at the placement causing a huge hump in the middle.
Dirt tees everywhere would have been better than this.
The course layout was confusing at times, but wasn't too bad if you printed off a map. A couple of arrows to tees on the course would have definitely been appreciated though.
There were a lot of really short holes that were all about the same. They were 200-300 ft straight shots or hyzer shots, there was just nothing to them. I like aceruns as much as the next person, but come on.

Other Thoughts: A lot of the short holes have small trees on it, so they should turn into something good once the trees mature in a few years.
Better teepads and this course instantly increases at least a point.
The course definitely had a few fun holes, but overall it wasn't really anything special.
I don't really plan on playing this course too many times, except if I feel like playing a second after a Bella Vista run, but even then, I'd probably just choose to play Bella Vista twice.

Decent, but take a map and watch out for errant shots!

Pros: The open and well-mowed shots were really good. The two elevated baskets were definitely a challenge, especially on the approach to #16! The paths and creeks were definitely good OB obstacles, but I had to pay more attention to some of the narrow paths between trees.
Cons: As a first time player at Twin Creeks DGC, it was difficult to navigate w/o a map. Many of the holes were not mowed well and you definitely could not see the basket on many holes. Playing alone was difficult because there are times where you really want a spotter. There are lots of trees and other plants to avoid there.. stinging nettle, briar patches w/ lots of thorns, etc.
Other Thoughts: AVOID the stinging nettle, they hurt pretty BAD!! (I must be allergic). Ran into a patch just left of the fairway on hole #6 where I lost a Champion Sidewinder.

Twin Creeks DGC
Pros: Course is located behind a highscool in a large, flat, slightly wooded area. This is a very fun course to play. There's a great combination between huge open drives and shorter, more technical shots. Holes 1 and 16 have elevated baskets which are very fun to putt. O.B. is used very creatively and can create a good risk/reward shot. The holes are balanced as far as hyzer/anhyzer. Hole 12 is one of my favorite holes where either a big hyzer or a small anhyzer can be used. When the rubber tee pads are flat (see cons) they are awesome! They are very long and provide good grip. Tee signs are some of the best I've seen. Baskets are Monkey Traps which are brand new and are in great condition.
Cons: Navigation can get really confusing. You have to pass hole 13 tee pad to get to hole 11. 13 and 15 are weird. If 15 is in the long position, it seems like it's 13's basket. When the river is up, it is hard to get to certain holes ( 3, 17, and 18 come to mind). I didn't see any water or restrooms, but someone please correct me if I am wrong. The coures is brand new, but it really needs some bridges across the rivers and the fairways need to be trimmed some more. Several of the tee pads were buckled up, which made teeing off even worse than a natural tee pad.
Other Thoughts: This course has the potential to be 4.5/5.0, but it lacks some amenities. Hole 16 will be awesome when the mound is completed. I would love to come back to this course several times so I could see the progress being made.

Rogers is the place to be!
Pros: Signs! The signs are as good as I have seen anyplace in the world.
Baskets! The traps look and catch great.
Epic holes.
Hole 1 is a killer hole 500 feet or you can take the dangerous short cut over the parking lot.
Hole 3 is a great 2 shot hole. A long drive must land in the middle, the navigate the guard trees on your second to get a putt.
Holes 13 and 15 are both cool 2 shot holes (see cons).
Missed a 24 footer for 3 on 13 and nailed a 200 foot upshot for a 2 on 15.
The elevated baskets are sweet. 1 is awesome now and the "mound" is going to be very rad when finished!

Cons: The tees need some work. They are rubber and many of them are anything but smooth.
13 and 15 share a fairway. Do to the length and danger at going at the pin most peopler are going to layup to the side. The side is the same place for both holes. I rolled 13 and hyzered 15 both shots were feet apart.
Many of the short holes have no line for short throwers. They were no problem for me a just dumped a hyzer or flick over the top.
Got lost a couple of times. Trying to find tees 3, 11(started to play 13), 17, and 18. It is right on the sign, but many of the trails were not well defined. A fence behind 13 may help with the problem there and just simple trimming in the other places.
Tall grass! If you miss the fairway you will be hunting. Don't know if that is a pro or con.

Other Thoughts: A fun track to play and I will play again next time I am in town.
Might be cool to play hole 8 to the mound as an alternate hole.
It was dry when I played, so the creeks were not a problem. When flowing they will add to the course for sure.
This course is early in it's growth and should only get better.
My score:
3,2,3,3,3,3(ob),2,2,2,3,3,3,4(missed 24 footer),2,2(200 foot fairway ace),3,2,3.

Challenging Course, Look out for the Rough and the Water!
Pros: My first Arkansas course didn't let me down. I headed out printed out map in hand (the one you can get from this site) but when I got there tee signs and a large map were up. Score!
The fairways are nicely mowed, and you start out with a 500+ foot hole before launching into a series of tight and technical holes. Many of the holes (10 I think) have water in play. If you throw into the mossy pond-hole on #7 or #14, goodbye disc!
There are plenty off <300 feet holes that still are fairly difficult. A great risk / reward factor on almost every hole.
Also, there are two elevated holes! Several of the holes of multiple tee pads and pins. Chose your own distance is nice but a little confusing for a first timer. I'm sure no prob. if you are with a local.

Cons: Only 1 bench (hole 3)
No trash cans
Holes 13 - 15 are a little confusing. I had a hard time figuring out which of the decently close pins I was supposed to throw for.
Tee pads are hard plastic and several and bucking and not close to flat.
