Diamante at Diamante Golf Course

Diamante Golf Course opened in 1983 as part of Hot Springs Village, a large residential and recreational community in the Ouachita Mountains of central Arkansas. The course was designed by Ed Ault with involvement from Tom Clark, continuing the development pattern that saw Hot Springs Village grow into one of the country's most golf-dense communities, eventually featuring nine regulation courses within its gates.

The layout occupies rolling, wooded terrain characteristic of the Ouachita foothills, with elevation changes and tree-lined corridors defining the playing experience. The routing moves through stands of pine and hardwood, with fairways carved from the natural landscape and greens that reflect the era's design preferences. Water comes into play on several holes, and the topography creates a variety of stances and approach angles that require thoughtful club selection and course management.

Diamante serves primarily as an amenity for Hot Springs Village property owners and their guests, though outside play is typically available. The course fits within the broader context of the Village's golf offerings, which range in difficulty and character to accommodate the community's year-round residents and seasonal visitors. The setting provides a quiet, wooded atmosphere removed from the commercial development of nearby Hot Springs, with the course integrated into the residential fabric of one of Arkansas's largest planned communities.
