At 9 a.m. Thursday, the 870Deals.com “Fill the Fairways Golf Card” officially goes on sale, featuring rounds of golf at four highly-regarded regional courses with a combined value of $234 — available for just $117.

For golfers, it’s not just a discount package — it’s a road trip through some of the most talked-about and underrated public golf experiences within driving distance of Jonesboro.
Turkey Mountain: “Golf on a Postcard”
Tucked into the Ozark foothills in Horseshoe Bend, Turkey Mountain Golf Course has quietly built a reputation as one of Arkansas’ most scenic public courses.
The 18-hole par-73 course features dramatic elevation changes, wooded valleys, lakes, and panoramic mountain views. Golfers frequently describe the opening tee shot as one of the prettiest in Arkansas. The course stretches more than 6,400 yards and offers a layout many players say is unforgettable.
“This isn’t city golf,” organizers said. “This is getaway golf.”
Many golfers consider Turkey Mountain a hidden gem because every hole feels unique — with rolling terrain and mountain-style golf rarely found in this part of the country.
Thunder Bayou: Big, Bold, and Built for Bombers
Thunder Bayou Golf Links has earned statewide praise since opening as a true links-style course — wide open, windswept, and challenging.
The course was previously recognized among the “Top 100 Best New Courses” after opening, and golfers across Arkansas often rank it among the best public courses in the region.
Stretching beyond 7,200 yards from the championship tees, Thunder Bayou is known as a course where long hitters can truly “let it fly.” Organizers say many Northeast Arkansas golfers still haven’t experienced the course — and are often surprised at just how impressive it is once they do.
“There’s just something cool about the name too,” one golfer joked. “Thunder Bayou sounds like golf with attitude.”
Kennett Country Club: Classic Country Club Golf
Across the state line in southeast Missouri, Kennett Country Club delivers a completely different style of golf experience.
Established decades ago and featuring mature trees, Bermuda fairways, and classic shot-making design, Kennett offers what many golfers call “old-school country club golf.” The course dates back to the 1930s and measures just under 6,400 yards.
Golfers frequently praise the greens and relaxed atmosphere.
“This is the kind of course where you grab your buddies, drive over to southeast Missouri, and feel like you discovered a local secret,” organizers said.
Unlike many crowded modern golf destinations, Kennett is known for its laid-back pace and nostalgic feel.
Victory Lake: Small-Town Arkansas Golf at Its Best
Meanwhile, Victory Lake Golf Course offers golfers a relaxed small-town experience that many players say reminds them of why they fell in love with golf in the first place.
Located in Corning, the scenic nine-hole course sits alongside Victory Lake and features tree-lined fairways, water hazards, and a casual atmosphere. Golf reviewers describe it as friendly, affordable, and fun for golfers of every skill level.
“It feels more like a golf getaway than a rushed round,” organizers said.
For golfers tired of packed tee sheets and crowded city courses, Victory Lake offers a slower pace and a throwback style of golf.

The 870Deals Golf Card goes on sale at 9 a.m. Thursday exclusively through 870Deals.com.
With only 200 available, organizers expect strong demand from golfers across Northeast Arkansas looking for affordable summer golf trips and weekend getaways.
