Hot Springs Village, Ark. (KATV) — Hot Springs Village is teeing up for a celebration as it marks the 25th anniversary of its beloved Isabella Golf Course.
The milestone will be celebrated with the Isabella Golf Classic tournament, presented by RE/MAX of Hot Springs Village, on Friday, August 22, 2025.
Golf enthusiasts, local leaders, and community members will gather for a day of spirited competition and festivities.
The Isabella Golf Club, a cornerstone of Arkansas golf since its opening in 2000, first unveiled its Nina and Pinta courses on Labor Day weekend of that year.
Recognized as a premier golf destination, Isabella was added to the Arkansas Golf Trail and expanded in 2006 with the Santa Maria nine, completing its 27-hole championship layout.
From 2002 to 2006, it was ranked the #1 golf course in Arkansas by both Golf Digest and the Arkansas Business Journal, and it continues to hold high rankings statewide.
The tournament will kick off with a shotgun start at 8 a.m., featuring 26 teams in an 18-hole, four-person scramble format.
Player check-in begins at 7 a.m., offering welcome bags, cart assignments, and a light breakfast.
A separate invitational tournament for local and state elected officials will commence at the Santa Maria course at 10 a.m.
Exciting prizes are up for grabs, including hole-in-one opportunities for a Hyundai Santa Fe, a Precedent Club Car Golf Cart, and a Transcend Camper.
The first-place team will receive $600 in Hot Springs Village Pro Shop gift cards, while the second-place team will earn $400.
Individual contests will also reward skills: the Closest to the Pin winner will receive a 2026 cart lease if a POA member, or a complimentary golf foursome for guests.
The Longest Drive winner will take home a Hot Springs Village recreation bundle if a POA member, or a complimentary golf foursome for guests.
The Closest to the Line winner will receive tickets to the 2026 HSV Concert Series.
