Was pretty rough in the spring. Has it gotten any better. I know hole #3 is a shell of its former self. More interested in conditions of fairways and greens.

I played there about a month ago. Greens were actually pretty good except for a few with issues. Fairways and bunkers need some work. It's clearly not what it used to be but still a unique layout on a beautiful piece of land.

I live there, not playing right now though: greens are much much much improved, almost lost in the spring. fairways much better, traps ok.

forgot: just plugged the greens last week but can't tell anymore from my porch, lol

I hate to hear all this about the Bluffs. I live in Arkansas and only got to play it once every 3 years or so, but it's one of my top 10 of all time, and I've been lucky enough to play some of the country's best courses .

Grew up on Webb in the 50's and 60's, so it will always be #1. LOL.

Played yesterday.

Course was in much better shape than I've seen it here recently. Greens had a few questionable spots on them, but the pins were in good spots with little to no dead spots. Greens were rolling quick too. Bunkers need some love, but with all the rain we've been getting, that's to be expected. Good outing.

Imagine Briarwood about 5 years before it closed with a more interesting layout and you have the current condition of The Bluffs.

Playable and enjoyable but not near the jewel it once was.

Planning on playing somewhere close to False River Saturday. What's in the best shape out of the Bluffs, Copper Mill, or Beaver Creek?

Played Bluffs Sunday, lots of improvement on the greens and fairways. #3 tee box is still a mess but overall a big improvement over the last couple of months. Really hope it continue that way because I really enjoy the layout.
But to pick out of the 3 you mentioned, Beaver Creek for now with Copper Mill 2nd.

My boss lives in the Bluffs. Said the HOA took over the golf course and fees shot up in order to cash flow getting the golf course back in good shape. By all indications on this board, and what he’s telling me, it sounds like it’s trending in the right direction.

Was in the area and swung by to check out the course. It looks to be in fairly decent condition. I didn't play, but it looks like it is trending in the right direction.

Played there today. Greens looks ok. #3 tee box is in terrible shape but been that way for a while. It was after the rain this morning so there were leaves everywhere. My friends got on for $15 golfnow so it was a great deal for them.

Played Carter before the Arkansas game and it was absolutely wonderful. What an outstanding course, staff and practice facilities.
