Nashville Country Club
About this course
Nashville Country Club sits in the small town of Nashville, Arkansas, roughly midway between Little Rock and Texarkana in the southwestern part of the state. The course was designed by Tom Shaw and John Rigsby, architects who worked primarily in Arkansas and neighboring states during the latter decades of the twentieth century. Their design work typically emphasized playability and integration with the natural terrain of the region. The course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the Ouachita foothills area, with elevation changes that provide variety in shot-making and strategic options. The routing takes advantage of the native landscape, incorporating mature hardwoods and natural drainage patterns into the playing corridors. Like many country clubs in smaller Southern communities, Nashville Country Club serves as a recreational and social center for the local area. The layout reflects the practical design philosophy common to regional architects of Shaw and Rigsby's era, balancing challenge for skilled players with accessibility for members of varying abilities. The course features traditional parkland characteristics with tree-lined fairways and greens that reward accurate approach play. Nashville Country Club represents the type of community-focused golf facility that has long anchored recreational life in towns across the American South, providing a venue for regular play, local competitions, and club gatherings.

Getting there
Nashville Country Club sits in the quiet heart of Howard County, Arkansas, most readily accessed via Little Rock National Airport (LIT), approximately ninety minutes to the southeast by car through the rolling Ouachita foothills. The drive northwest from Little Rock carries you through a landscape of dense pine forest and pastoral farmland, gradually ascending into the low mountains that define this corner of southwestern Arkansas. As you approach Nashville - a town of genuine small-town character - the roads narrow and wind through oak-lined passages, with the club's grounds emerging as a serene refuge of manicured fairways set against the natural topography of the region. For those with access to private aviation, Texarkana Regional Airport (TXA) lies roughly an hour north and offers a more intimate arrival point, though the overland journey from Little Rock remains the most direct route to Nashville Country Club.
