Getting there
The journey to Diamondhead Golf Club begins at Little Rock National Airport (LIT), roughly an hour's drive west into the forested hills of central Arkansas, where the landscape gradually shifts from piedmont flatland to the rolling terrain that defines the Ouachita Mountains. The final approach winds through Hot Springs' historic downtown corridor before ascending into the quieter residential neighborhoods where Diamondhead's manicured grounds emerge among native pines and hardwoods, a serene counterpoint to the mineral-spring heritage that has long drawn visitors to this mountain town. For those arriving by private aircraft, Hot Springs Memorial Field lies just minutes from the club, offering a discreet alternative to commercial terminals. The entire experience - from highway to clubhouse - unfolds as a gradual transition from the bustle of Arkansas's capital region into the contemplative solitude of the Ouachita foothills.
