Magellan Golf Club — Local services in Hot Springs Village

Great golf course! Although GPS guides you to the Ponce de Leon entrance, the public entrance is 3.2 miles East of it. Park across the street from the entrance and gather a golf cart.

We met some very nice attendants. The course is beautiful, the greens are superb. Some greens were fast. Shooting uphill can be a little deceiving, so you'll probably need to club up.

I wouldn't recommend this course to older folks under these circumstances. Like I said, beautiful course, but better played from a cart in the fairways. We'll give it another try this fall when things have dried out and...

The rudest worker “k” had the nerve to say we are the “worse golfers ever” and had the audacity to rush us along all though we were allowing others to go ahead of us because we knew we were “slower” than others.
