Rebsamen Golf Course

Rebsamen Golf Course sits along the Arkansas River in Little Rock, offering municipal golf on terrain shaped by the river's floodplain. Thomas E. Clark designed the course, which opened in the mid-20th century as part of the city's public recreation system. The facility operates as a 27-hole complex, with the West 9 forming one of three nine-hole loops that golfers can combine for varied 18-hole rounds. The West 9 plays across relatively flat terrain typical of river-adjacent land in central Arkansas, with mature trees defining corridors and framing holes. Water features appear on several holes, reflecting the course's proximity to the Arkansas River and the natural drainage patterns of the area. The routing takes advantage of the available space while accommodating golfers of different skill levels, consistent with the municipal mission of accessible public golf. Rebsamen serves as a community course for Little Rock residents and visitors, providing an affordable option in the state capital. The facility has hosted local and regional amateur competitions over the decades, contributing to Arkansas golf development. The course maintains its role as a public amenity where recreational players and competitive juniors alike learn and play the game.
