Blessings Golf Club, in Johnson, the home course for the University of Arkansas men's and women's golf teams, will be hosting its first USGA championship. This will be only the third time the USGA has hosted an event in Arkansas. The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones II and opened for play in 2004. The course naturally flows back and forth between two distinct topographies: the Clear Creek floodplain and the plateau that sits 65 feet above Clear Creek. The intentional design between the two landforms creates variety for each shot, giving players different shot options as they play the routing. In 2018, architect Kyle Phillips made modifications to the course to improve walkability, including adjustments to the routing, renovated bunkers and the addition of five new greens.
Blessings Golf Club has hosted several college tournaments, including the 2012 Southeastern Conference Women’s Championship and the 2019 NCAA Division I Championships for men and women.
