🏌️ Pinnacle Country Club — Rogers, Arkansas Par 71 • Approx. 6,438 Yards • LPGA Scoring Test
Pinnacle Country Club has hosted the Walmart NW Arkansas Championship since the event began in 2007. The course typically produces an attacking LPGA test built around fairway position, approach proximity, par-5 scoring, confident putting, and the ability to sustain birdie runs.
Quick Course Overview
The Don Sechrest design opened in 1990 and was later redesigned by Randy Heckenkemper. Tournament setup has traditionally measured about 6,438 yards at par 71, although exact yardages can change with tees, hole locations, weather, and course conditions.
Course Type / Conditions
- Tree-lined country-club layout with scoring opportunities for players in position
- Four par 5s, including the 14th hole, create important birdie and eagle chances
- Approach accuracy matters because missed greens can interrupt scoring momentum
- September weather and course softness or firmness can quickly change the winning pace
What Matters Most
- Greens in regulation and precise approach shots to create enough realistic birdie chances
- Par-5 scoring to take advantage of the course's strongest scoring holes
- Putting conversion because a steady stream of made putts is often needed to remain near the lead
- Bogey avoidance so one mistake does not erase several holes of productive scoring
Player-Fit Keys
- Players arriving with recent birdie production and strong approach numbers
- Accurate drivers who can consistently attack from the fairway
- Confident putters capable of converting from the scoring range
- Past Pinnacle performers comfortable with a fast-moving 54-hole leaderboard
Winning Formula
- Start quickly because the three-round format leaves little time to recover
- Score aggressively on the par 5s while protecting against avoidable bogeys
- Keep approach shots below or near the hole when possible
- Continue attacking through the final nine because late birdie runs can decide the championship
