El Dorado, Ark. – Mystic Creek Golf Club in El Dorado, Arkansas recently welcomed Kevin LaFontaine as its new general manager. LaFontaine will oversee golf operations, agronomy, food and beverage, and sales/marketing for the 18-hole semi – private / daily-fee facility, which Golfweek has named the “Best Course You Can Play in Arkansas.”
LaFontaine has 20-plus years of experience in the golf industry. He most recently served as general manager and director of agronomy at Calvert Crossing Golf Club, a Troon-managed private club in the West Ouachita Parish of Louisiana.
