Golf in Little Rock

Little Rock is the capital of Arkansas and the state's largest city, a Pulaski County metropolitan center whose role as the seat of state government, its regional healthcare hub status, and its commercial and financial functions give it a complexity unusual in a city of its size. The city's history includes the defining crisis of the 1957 Central High School desegregation—when federal troops were required to enforce the integration of Central High School against Governor Orval Faubus's defiance—which made Little Rock a national symbol of the Civil Rights era's conflicts and has shaped the city's complex self-understanding ever since. The city's golf landscape spans The Alotian Club (one of America's top-ranked private courses), The Country Club of Little Rock, and accessible municipal and semi-private options serving a diverse metropolitan population.
