Nina is one of nine regulation 18-hole courses at Hot Springs Village, a large residential golf community in the Ouachita Mountains of central Arkansas. Designed by Ed Ault with Tom Clark, Nina opened as part of the phased development that transformed this forested region into one of the most golf-dense communities in the United States. The course takes its name from one of the three Spanish ships—the Niña, Pinta, and Santa Maria—a naming convention shared with several courses in the Village. The layout moves through rolling, wooded terrain characteristic of the Ouachita foothills, with elevation changes that provide both strategic interest and scenic variety. Narrow fairways lined with pine and hardwood require accuracy from the tee, while small to mid-sized greens demand thoughtful approach play. Water features appear on several holes, adding tactical considerations to club selection and shot placement. The routing reflects Ault's practical design philosophy, creating a playable course for the community's resident membership while incorporating enough challenge to maintain interest for regular play. Hot Springs Village operates as a private property owners' association, with golf access tied to residential ownership or specific membership categories. The courses serve primarily as recreational amenities for residents rather than destination facilities, though the sheer number of layouts provides variety for those living in the community. Nina fits within the mid-range difficulty among the Village's courses, offering a straightforward test of golf in a quiet, wooded Arkansas setting.
