Golf in Fort Smith

Fort Smith is Arkansas's second-largest city and the commercial hub of the Arkansas River valley's western section, a Sebastian County community on the Oklahoma border whose history as a Federal court for Indian Territory and its later role as a manufacturing and commercial center give it a distinctly frontier and industrial character in the state's otherwise agrarian landscape. The city's Judge Isaac Parker National Historic Site celebrates the notorious 'Hanging Judge' who brought law to Indian Territory from Fort Smith's courthouse, and the city's position at the confluence of the Arkansas and Poteau rivers creates the geographic foundation for a community that has always looked both east to Arkansas and west to Oklahoma. Hardscrabble Country Club and multiple accessible facilities serve a diverse metropolitan market.
