The Ridges at Village Creek

The Ridges at Village Creek features two eighteen-hole layouts in Wynne, Arkansas, with the North and West nines forming one of the primary combinations at this facility. The course was designed through a collaboration involving Andy Dye, son of renowned architect Pete Dye, along with Joe T. Jemsek and Nathan Crace. The design reflects the Dye family's characteristic attention to strategic options and visual interest, adapted to the eastern Arkansas landscape. The property sits in the Mississippi River Delta region, where the terrain offers more natural movement than much of the surrounding farmland. The routing takes advantage of available elevation changes and incorporates water features that come into play on several holes. The design emphasizes risk-reward decision-making, with multiple tee positions allowing players of different skill levels to find appropriate challenges. The Ridges serves as a public facility and has become a notable golf destination in a state with relatively few championship-length courses. The combination of the North and West nines provides variety in hole design and strategic demands, with a mix of open and tree-lined corridors. The course benefits from its setting near Village Creek State Park, which adds a natural backdrop to the golf experience. The facility operates as part of the broader Village Creek complex and attracts both local players and visitors exploring golf options in the Mid-South region. The course represents a significant golf development for northeastern Arkansas.
