Country Club makes course improvements

Siloam Springs Country Club announced a new addition to its course this past week.

The club has added tee boxes to each hole to incorporate a nine-hole par 27 course within its standard nine-hole par 35 course.

This is an addition that some of the club’s players had requested.

“Not only does it give a fresh look to the holes played, it can be played by our younger golfers to make the pace of play faster and more fun for the beginner and younger players,” said Siloam Springs Country Club board president Bill Adams. “So far reception has been good.”

The club is holding par 3 shoot-outs on Tuesday evening beginning at 6 p.m. Everybody is welcome.

“We invite all golfers to come out and give it a try,” Adams said. “We are always trying to match the needs and wants of the community with our facility. Watch for other additions coming soon.”

Two-person Triple Play

Siloam Springs Country Club will host its annual two-person Triple Play event Saturday, Aug. 5. This is a 27-hole tournament — nine holes scramble, nine holes best ball, and nine holes alternate shot.

This will be a flighted tournament.

New tees will be used by golfers aged 75 and above. Mulligans and tee busters will be available at sign-up. Cost is $35 for members and $45 for guests. Cart rental is available. Sign up now as space is limited. For more information, call the country club at 524-4269.
