About this course

Kingswood is one of three eighteen-hole courses at Kingsdale Golf Complex in Bella Vista, a planned community in northwest Arkansas near the Missouri border. The course was designed by Ed Ault with Tom Clark and Bill Love, part of the residential and recreational development that transformed this Ozark foothill region beginning in the 1960s. Bella Vista grew as a retirement and resort destination, and its multiple golf facilities reflect that community-building vision. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Ozark plateau, with elevation changes and wooded corridors typical of northwest Arkansas landscapes. Hardwood forests frame many holes, and the routing incorporates natural contours and occasional water features. The design reflects the accessible, playable style common to resort and residential courses of its era, offering variety without extreme difficulty for the community's year-round residents and visitors. Kingsdale Golf Complex serves both members and daily-fee players, functioning as a central recreational amenity for Bella Vista. The facility includes practice areas and clubhouse services that support the multiple courses on the property. Kingswood, along with its companion layouts, provides golf in a setting that balances the natural Ozark environment with the infrastructure of a planned community, contributing to the region's identity as a golf-oriented destination in the Arkansas highlands.

Getting there

The journey to Kingsdale Golf Complex begins at Northwest Arkansas National Airport (XNA) in Bentonville, a modern gateway serving the booming corridor of corporate headquarters and Ozark recreation just thirty minutes to the north. From there, the drive south along Highway 71 traces the gentle ridgelines of northwest Arkansas before turning west into Bella Vista, a planned community carved into the wooded hills above the Arkansas-Missouri line. The final approach winds through quiet residential streets shaded by oak and hickory, revealing Kingsdale as a local cornerstone tucked into the rolling terrain - unpretentious, accessible, and deeply rooted in the everyday rhythms of this corner of the Ozarks.
