Lions Den Golf Club

About Lions Den Golf Club

This public track in Dardanelle sits along the Arkansas River valley, where the rolling terrain creates some genuinely interesting elevation changes that separate it from the pancake-flat municipal courses you'll find scattered across the state. The routing takes advantage of natural ridgelines and creek beds, giving you a few memorable downhill tee shots and approaches that play longer or shorter than the yardage suggests. While the conditioning won't remind you of Augusta, the course maintains decent playability year-round and the greens typically roll true enough to reward good putting. At 3.7 stars from 80 reviews, Lions Den falls squarely into "solid local option" territory, not a destination play, but a course that delivers honest golf without breaking the bank. The walk-friendly layout means you can skip the cart fee if you're looking to stretch your legs, and the lack of pretension here is refreshing. It's the kind of place where you can work on your game without feeling judged, though don't expect championship-level course conditions or dramatic architectural flourishes.
