Eagle Crest Golf Course opened in the spring of 1997 as part of the Eagle Crest Golf Community development in Alma, just north of Interstate 40. It was designed by Mark Hayes, winner of the 1977 Tournament Players Championship. The par-71 course has zoysia tees and fairways, bentgrass greens and a tee shot over a double waterfall, and it served as a qualifying site for the Nationwide Tour's Fort Smith Classic.
