About this course

Indian Hills Golf Resort sits in the Ozark Mountain community of Fairfield Bay, Arkansas, overlooking Greers Ferry Lake. The course was designed by Ed Ault, a prolific architect who worked extensively across the Midwest and South during the 1960s and 1970s. Ault's design philosophy typically emphasized playability for resort and daily-fee golfers while incorporating natural terrain features, and Indian Hills reflects this approach with routing that moves through the wooded, rolling landscape characteristic of the region. The course occupies elevated terrain with significant changes in elevation throughout the round. Fairways wind through stands of native hardwoods and pines, and several holes offer views across the lake and surrounding hills. The layout requires golfers to navigate both uphill and downhill lies, with doglegs and strategically placed hazards that reward accurate placement over pure distance. Greens are moderately sized and contoured to complement the hillside setting. Indian Hills functions as the centerpiece of a resort community that developed in the 1970s as part of a planned recreational destination in north-central Arkansas. The course serves both resort guests and local members, providing a mountain golf experience distinct from the flatter terrain found elsewhere in the state. The facility includes typical resort amenities and operates within a broader community that offers lake access and other recreational activities alongside golf.
