Arrowhead Golf Club

About
Arrowhead Golf Club is an 18-hole public course in North Canton. The course is player friendly enough for all skill levels. It's not the most formidable test in the area but it's great for a quick and casual round. It's also an ideal layout for beginners who are just starting out since it provides a few challenges while not being overly punishing. The holes are mostly straightforward with a few strategically placed bunkers bordering the greens. You won't find very much water throughout the golf course but it does come into play occasionally. One of the most memorable holes is a water hole. The green on the par-4 second hole is nearly an island green with a lake that borders it on three sides. Water also comes into play on the final hole.

Blind Man's Bluff
OK, I really wanted to give this course a 5 Star rating and a 6 Star Rating because of the most delightful starter I have EVER met in my 23 years of golfing; his name is Jimmy and he was just to cool!
The one star ding is because:
1. I didn't see any porta-potty's until the 16th or 17th hole, but I probably just missed it/them as I didn't have to go until the 16th hole.
2. You are hitting your tee shot "blindly" because of the many hills and slopes for just about every hole. We were fortunate that it wasn't too busy when we played, so we were able to drive over the hill(s) to see when it was clear to tee off.
Worth mentioning but NOT a "Ding" - The cart path can use some work.
This course is pretty open, however there are homes along side the holes that might give you pause. (There is no such thing as "Find a tree to pee" on this course unless you don't mind displaying your junk for a host of people to see.)
It's a "Feel Good" course or one to play when you are not hitting well and want to feel good about your game because there isn't much trouble to get into. If you hit into the trees, you can easily get out with a punch-out or quite often you will have a look to the green on your approach shot.
I was on an out of town trip but would play this course again if the opportunity should present itself.
Nice golf club experience
Nice course, very friendly staff, nice amenities for lunch od dinner or on the turn. Course is well maintained, not particularly difficult, pace was a little slow only because I was a solo golfer. Nice laid back country club atmosphere open to the public.
Great Conditions, Good Layout for an Easy Round
Arrowhead is one of the most underrated courses in the greater Akron Canton area. It’s a challenging course with a good layout that will give you plenty of opportunities to score. Fairways and rough were in great condition and the greens played fast and firm. Pacing is usually pretty good on weekends and non-league days. When I’m traveling to stark county I always try to get a round in here and the staff is accommodating and cares that you have a fun experience. It’s fantastic value for a public course with top rate course conditions.
What you’d expect
Very nice course everything was well maintained minus one hole on the front 9 was covered in debris. The layout is nice greens are very hard to read. Peak prices are a bit extreme but you can find good value deals if you know when to look. Overall I’d give arrowhead 3.5/5
Straight Arrow
Very good course, not overlong but better stay in the fairway. Greens fast and hard to read. A very good challenge and fairly priced. Will definitely be back.
Spend money on the course
While the new facility additions are an serious upgrade, the course conditions are abysmal. The tee boxes are not even close to level, the had 1 inch high grass on them, the greens were running a bumpy 4. It is gonna to take a million dollars and time to fix this course to get it even close to when it was a private club. Good luck.
Old School Course on Great Terrain
The course appears much older than the course date in this site shows. The course is tight in locations but not unplayable. For a public course in the CANTON area, it is one of my favorites. The old built up / undulating greens and rolling terrain make for numerous memorable golf holes.
Arrowhead
This is the first time I have paid money to play on a golf course where they intentionally had no flags on the greens. Horrible! Someone had used sticks from the ground to sort-of mark some of the holes. The guy at the pro shop said that management wanted to close the course for the winter, but decided to stay open a little while longer. Pathetic - take our money but too lazy to put the flags out.
I loved this course!! It was nicely kept, challenging at times and was wonderful to play at!! I will definitely be going back
