The Links at Rainbow Curve Golf & Country Club
About this course
The Links at Rainbow Curve Golf & Country Club sits in Bentonville, Arkansas, a city in the northwestern corner of the state that has experienced significant growth in recent decades as the home of Walmart's corporate headquarters. The course was designed by Lyndy Lindsey, a regional architect who has worked on several projects across Arkansas and neighboring states. Bentonville's rolling Ozark terrain provides natural elevation changes and wooded corridors that shape the character of golf courses in the area. The routing at Rainbow Curve takes advantage of the property's topography, moving through a landscape typical of northwest Arkansas golf—hardwood forests, moderate elevation shifts, and occasional creek corridors. The name "The Links" follows a common naming convention in American golf, though courses in this region bear little resemblance to true links golf found on coastal dunes. Instead, players encounter tree-lined fairways and the kind of parkland conditions characteristic of inland courses in the Ozarks. The club serves the Bentonville community and the broader Northwest Arkansas region, which includes nearby Fayetteville and Rogers. As the area has grown economically and demographically, golf facilities like Rainbow Curve have provided recreational amenities for both long-time residents and the influx of corporate professionals. The course offers a private club experience in a market that has seen increased demand for golf and country club memberships over the past two decades.

Getting there
The journey to The Links at Rainbow Curve Golf & Country Club begins at Northwest Arkansas National Airport (XNA), a modern gateway serving the booming corridor of Bentonville, Rogers, and Fayetteville, just twenty minutes north of the club. The drive traces the rolling topography of the Ozark Plateau, where wooded ridges and limestone outcroppings frame the route through one of America's fastest-evolving regions - a landscape where corporate headquarters and craft culture now share space with traditional Arkansas hill country. As you approach Bentonville proper, the road curves gently through a mix of new development and preserved woodland, delivering you to Rainbow Curve's discreet entrance where the club's name reveals itself in the land's natural contours.
