Golf in Batesville

Batesville is the county seat of Independence County on the White River in north-central Arkansas, a community whose nineteenth-century limestone architecture and historic character reflect the early settlement of north Arkansas in the Ozark foothills. The city's position as a regional commercial center and the home of Lyon College—a liberal arts institution with Presbyterian roots founded in 1872—gives it a civic character that combines educational tradition, agricultural heritage, and the commercial services that support the surrounding mountain counties. The community's multiple golf facilities reflect a regional center whose stable professional and educational base supports recreational amenities serving both local residents and the surrounding Independence County rural population.
