For decades, as I drove down I-55 on my trec from St. Louis to Helena, Arkansas, I saw what I…read morethought was a small, probably par three practice course in Marion, AR. With my peripheral vision I could see 2-3 holes with water hazards that never failed to make me say, "I'm going to check that place out." Finally, on memorial day 2026 I kept that promise and was I surprised! Brownstone is far from "a small, probably par three practice course". It is an eighteen-hole, challenging course that tests one's skill and allows players to use every club in their arsenal. The fairways and greens are well laid out and impeccably maintained. I arrived about fifteen minutes late for my tee time because of some construction in Memphis as I drove to the course from Tunica, MS. When I called, the woman in the pro shop was very nice and assured me that it would be ok if I was a bit late. As it turned out, the course wasn't crowded with golfers but there was a lot of activity at the facility from a family reunion taking place there. I paid my fee which I thought, pre-round, was reasonable. Post-round I felt that a slightly higher greens fee would have been justified. Wait. Did I just say I should have been charged more? Yes I did, and yes, I meant it. This is an outstanding course, and I have paid more for less many times in many places. I don't get to play very often but I long ago recognized that the staff has a great impact on players' club experience. The staff at Brownstone is A#1. To a person they were friendly, personable, and helpful. They more than made up for all the balls I left in the water hazards.

The place itself was very elegant, with expansive views of the river and the park. We saw an incredible sunset from our table that was simply breathtaking.

2.5*, but rounding up because I didn't actually bring up all the concerns while there to see how…read morethey could help. First, we stayed here because Arkansas was on the bucket list to visit and we were on a road trip. Thus, we couldn't stay in Memphis and we had Hilton points to use up by a certain time. Otherwise, it's fine for 1 night, but don't stay 4 nights like we did. Second, here's a list of the good, bad, and ugly... Good: Pooling heated, towels in the room, fairly empty so easy to use. They have a gym too, with everything working. Breakfast was on par for the brand, and I liked the yogurt machine. Their refillable water station was also convenient. Bad: Digital key for room stopped working after day 1 and they had no idea how to fix it. Physical key also stopped working after day 2 and we had to go reset them. Annoying and inconvient. They ran out of coffee one day, fine since I don't drink it, but annoying for some. Their tea selections were all caffeine, nothing for bedtime. They ran out of lids one day too, which is dangerous when trying to bring a hot beverage to your room. If you forget anything, you'll have to pay for it, so pack your toothpaste! Finally, their location on the highway is fine for going to Memphis, but super inconvient for getting back to the hotel or trying to visit the casino across the street since the service road is one way. Not their fault, but just FYI. The Ugly: Their house cleaning was non-existent. Free sticker on the bathroom mirror said every other day. Fine by me. Except they didn't come. So we called to ask and then had to go down ourselves to get towels that second night. Again on day 3, no one came. And again on day 4, no one came. The trash got a little icky and a giant pile of towels stacked up. Beds were not made. But that was still not the worst thing. The worst was the mold in the shower, around the fire sprinkler (maybe dirty?), and the ac unit. Which we had to run. So, if you really need a cheaper place with free parking (assuming they aren't too busy, it's a small lot) and don't need to eat when you stop (nothing much nearby) and you are just staying one night, it might be ok. But I was very disappointed in the hotel and it has tainted the brand for me. Gold status for Hilton doesn't matter if they don't make sure the service is decent and the rooms are good.
