The Blessings vs Pinnacle

[NorCalRazorback]

Looks like I am probably going to be returning to my beloved state and moving to the Rogers, Fayetteville, Springdale area.  Please help me with some information... what are the joining fees for Pinnacle and The Blessings?  What are the monthlies for a golf membership at both? 

Also, can you give any details on comparing the two from a playing perspective as well as a social perspective.

I'm a member of a country club here in California and want to do the same there - these both look beautiful and it's hard to get any information on them both... so naturally I am going to Hogvillians for some help!

thanks!

I'm pretty sure you have to be invited to the Blessings and probably won't find out the cost of it on here.

I'm not sure about any of the details but I know The Blessings is hosting the 2019 NCAA National Championships:

I guess I should mention, having played both courses, Pinnacle doesn't hold a candle to the Blessings. Honestly a little disappointed/underwhelmed with Pinnacle's course after hearing so many great things. The Blessings is the real deal.

I have heard that Blessings is legit for sure... and highly rated nationally.  Anyone know much about joining it?  Can't find anything online about how to join.

Like I said, I think it's invite only. I would give them a ring to find out more specifics.

Do you buy a lot of chicken, and I means LOTS?

I'm a former pinnacle member. Current Blessings member. Both are great courses. Pinnacle is pretty public on their pricing. Just call them up or check out the website, as pricing is partially determined by age, and tops out at $650 plus food minimum (not sure if that pricing is out of date... but you get the idea). There is also a $2000-$5000 joining fee (again depends on your age what you pay)

I find it weird when people try to compare both courses to one another. Both are great, but it's apples and oranges, while Blessings is truly on another level IMHO. As far as pricing, membership availability, etc etc, this isn't the right venue as they choose not to publish that info, but feel free to give them a call and inquire. Their staff are all nice folks. Please be aware, Blessings is currently closed indefinitely due to flooding damage / repair and their current major renovation underway, but otherwise it's a golfers paradise

As long as the bar is open, all is well!

Haha. I can confirm that part of the course is neither closed nor under major renovation!

Great bar .... maybe that's "the blessing"

We were discussing The Blessings the other day and wondered how many members they had.  Do you have any idea how many there are?

I do, but I don't think they publish that, so I probably shouldn't either. The club was originally set up with a cap of 200 I believe, and they aren't anywhere near that currently. A sizable portion of the membership are "national" members and not in NWA.

For context, Pinnacle had 418 golf members as of a month ago, and I believe that's down from over 500 at one point in the recent past if I'm not mistaken.
