The Ridges at Village Creek opened in 2001 as a public facility in Wynne, Arkansas, designed by Nathan Crace, Andy Dye, and Joe T. Jemsek. The East Course is one of two eighteen-hole layouts at the property, which sits in the agricultural flatlands of eastern Arkansas, roughly an hour west of Memphis. The design takes advantage of modest elevation changes and natural drainage corridors in an otherwise level landscape, creating a routing that incorporates both open and wooded sections. The course plays through stands of hardwoods and along wetland areas that define several holes, with water hazards appearing throughout the round. The design emphasizes strategic bunkering and green complexes that reward accurate approach play, typical of public courses built during this era to balance challenge with playability for a range of skill levels. The property's name references the subtle ridgelines that provide the most distinctive terrain features on site. As a municipal facility, The Ridges serves both local golfers and visitors exploring the region's limited golf options. The East Course complements the West Course in offering variety across the property, with each layout presenting different challenges within the same landscape setting. The facility includes standard practice areas and a clubhouse that supports daily-fee play.
