Arrowsmith Golf & Country Club is an executive layout that was designed for year-round play. The layout features smooth greens that are large and undulating, with an average of at least three tiers and rolling fairways that are lined with trees. Between the towering trees, golfers can catch scenic glimpses of Mount Arrowsmith and Echo Valley. A majority of the holes are par 3s but there are two par 5s and three par 4s mixed in. The signature hole is the par-3 12th, which starts off from an elevated tee that is perched 40 feet above the green. Although the golf course provides a good challenge, it can still be finished within three hours. In addition to offering a beautifully manicured course, Arrowsmith also boasts a grass driving range, a practice bunkers, and two putting greens.

Arrowsmith

This is a very nice course for the average golfer. It is very walkeable and with a few short holes, it challenges your short game.

Always most enjoyable and has a nice clubhouse to enjoy when you are done.

Patience Required

Being a short 18 hole track and considering how many new golfers on the East side, Arrowsmith has become the Mecca for retired beginner golfers. If it were not for Golf Now and the sometimes great rates, I would never go there - if you are just a twosome be prepared to spend as much as three + hrs and only pull the driver out 4 times. If you live in Qualicum Beach, it’s convenient and an easier option but it’s gotten far busier than 2-3 yrs ago.

September golf!

Beautiful day for golf. Weather was great. Course was unusually wet. Something had to be wrong with irrigation. Soggy spots. Even puddles.

But still managed to have a great time.

Short n slow.

All types of people come out to this course. 1st timers and regulars. Great for working on your short game, but slow play. Leave your driver at home. Not worth a long trip there. bad service at the '19th' hole. Young lazy staff, sign of times maybe.
