Golf Course Etiquette
The El Dorado Shootout allows more access than most tournaments, so organizers would like to remind guests to be quiet and courteous during play and respectful in their interactions with the golfers competing in the tournament, Mystic Creek’s staff members, and tournament volunteers.

The following reminders and suggestions for golf course etiquette are for those planning to attend the El Dorado Shootout.

  • The event does not enforce a dress code, but spectators are encouraged to dress in appropriate golf course attire. Blouses, button-downs, or polo shirts paired with shorts, skirts, or lightweight pants are typical summer golf course attire. Spectators should refrain from wearing denim and T-shirts.
  • The tournament is a family-friendly event, and all ages are welcome to attend.
  • Spectators are encouraged to bring collapsible chairs to watch the event from the designated areas, as well as umbrellas to add a level of comfort and added protection from the elements.

Amenities and Activities
The El Dorado Shootout is a great reason for a visit to El Dorado, Ark., but there is so much more to explore and enjoy.

  • Mystic Creek’s clubhouse restaurant, Mystic Grill, located near the 18th hole’s spectator area, will offer a limited food and beverage menu for tournament spectators to purchase. Beverage stations will also be available at various holes around the golf course.
  • The Murphy Arts District (MAD) includes an outdoor amphitheater with market pavilions, the largest park in the city, a destination playscape, a splash pad, and the MAD House 101 Restaurant & Bar.
  • El Dorado’s own BlackStrap, a band known for its vibrant mix of music genres paired with the occasional flute finesse, is playing in downtown El Dorado on Friday, Sept. 19. There is no cover for the performance. For more information, visit eldomad.com.
