Golf in Helena-West Helena

Helena-West Helena is a consolidated city in Phillips County on the Mississippi River, one of Arkansas's most historically significant Delta communities. Helena was the site of a major Civil War battle in 1863, the home of the King Biscuit Time blues radio program—the longest-running daily radio program in American history, founded in 1941—and the host of the annual King Biscuit Blues Festival that draws visitors to this corner of the Delta each October. The city's musical heritage connects it to the broader tradition of Mississippi Delta blues and makes it one of the most culturally significant communities in the Arkansas Delta despite its modest size and economic challenges.
