Arrowhead Pointe At Lake Richard B. Russell

It's about 45 mins south of I-85 but being a bit remote usually means there's not a crowd. At least we got lucky during the holiday season. Trees may be an issue if you're not driving it straight but you often have a shot from the trees if you go that route. Fairways played well (for being dormant, lies not too tight). Greens were in great shape. Not the fastest but pretty true. Rough around the greens can be a challenge but still very workable. Read the grain on the greens, it matters if there's a slope. Very relaxing, well-kept course. Playing around the lake is beautiful. GPS led me down a gravel road that I wish I didn't take, but it dumped me right into the main street that leads to the course, so it worked out. If you know Highland Walk (another GA state course), Arrowhead Pointe is prettier and not as hard (less severe hills and greens). It was a good day of golf, wherever we were.

Great condition and staff is alway friendly. Pretty open fairways and greens always well maintained. Will definitely play here more often.

Golf pro at Arrowhead worked with me on tee time, directions, range balls, and tee suggestions. Without a doubt the best pro I have ever dealt with, great course too.

The first time I played AP my golf game was terrible. This was a redemption match. It was cold (50F) and windy so we moved up to the white tees. Great move. Fairways were large enough to accommodate a slightly errant shot but the dormant Bermuda rough was brutal. A couple of lost balls near the greens (hint: hit the greens!). It looked like the tee markers had not been moved in several days so the teeing area was a bit soggy with minimal grass - this being the only reason I deducted 1 star from a 5 star rating. Be SURE to book your reservations online - AP has an excellent tool and it sends great confirmations.

We played this course the Friday after Thanksgiving and it was cart path only due to rain early Thanksgiving day. Usually, I'd rather walk the course when it's cart path only but that's not really an option on this course.

The primary rough is very difficult. Balls nestle down into it so much that if you are 4' off the fairway, you might not find your ball. Keep careful watch of where it goes in. Unless you are standing on top of it, you won't see it. Each player lost at least 1 ball this way.

Rough might not have been not cut lower due to moisture, but rough looked like it wasn't cut even earlier in the week. This and the wet fairways added quite a bit of distance to the 6400 yard blue tee boxes. The next lower tee is 5900 yards and would seem too short for most intermediate golfers but I would certainly consider it next time as the course easily plays 200 yards further than the card states when it's wet and the rough is as difficult as it was.

The back 9 of this course is very picturesque along the lake with many nice views. Makes the course worthwhile for the drive out to it.

Amenities are good in the clubhouse even w COVID restrictions in place.

Reminded me of The Lanier Island course. It was in great shape. Wide fairways and large multitiered greens. Great value.

Great golf course and great layout condition most of the time is great. Only problem is slow greens they are always slow someone wrote a review that they were 10 on the stump they have never been a 10 they are usually 7-8

I would play here a lot more if they ran at least 10.

The staff is great and course is great only negative is slow greens

Course has great views on the lake you will not be disappointed.

Great course in this beautiful state park. Wonderful layout especially the 5 or 6 lake view holes.

Course is in great shape and was fun to play. Will return.

Arrowhead Point is one of my favorite golf courses. Location. Location. Location. On an undeveloped lake. Well away from anything commercial. So quiet and relaxing. Never crowded. Course is well maintained. It is a Georgia State Park course. So what you get versus what you pay makes this a very high value golf experiance.

Playing 18 at arrowhead is the best decision I've made this year. Stepping foot on this course completely washed away all the stresses of everyyday life. I was in awe of all the fall colors and beautiful fairways kissed up the calm waters of lake Russell. With the abundance of wildlife and crystal blue skies i was in heaven. I would spend 100$ to have that same experience that only cost me 25$. Staff was very friendly and accommodated to any need or question. The pro shop was very neat and organized. The restaurant was on point for filling my belly on the turn to the back nine. This is by far my favorite place to golf.

If your looking for a scenic golf getaway to witness all of God's creations book a round with arrowhead now. Trust me it will change how you look at golf courses in the state of Georgia!!

We always enjoy playing at Arrowhead. The course is beautiful and was in really good condition. It's definitely challenging but definitely worth it.

Arrowhead Point IS the best course for the money. It is sooooo gorgeous, especially the back 9. Everything is just the way you want it...manicured tee boxes, groomed and well kept bunkers, smooth curbed concrete cart paths, immaculate fairways, forgiving course layout, perfect “carpet like” greens that are unblemished and just challenging enough. Yardage is marked with inground granite markers as well as the cart paths, the rough is wall to wall Bermuda and kept deep and thick enough to keep your ball from going out of bounds but not so deep that it disappears the moment it stops. The best treat of the day is arriving at the 12th green and taking in the envious views of Lake Russell from the varied course elevations for the next 5 holes. Simply put..well worth the trip (for me, 50 minutes) for some of the best golf around.
