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.

Fun course, slow play

Although the course is a lot of fun and the food is great, their lack of a course marshal allows for excessively slow play. After speaking to the pro shop about our experience, they informed me that they have received this complaint numerous times.

Walkeable course

Lovely setting and very walkeable particularly for older people. For us this is a big plus. Reasonable fees but would like to see a senior discount. Will be back.

About the course.

Generally speaking the course is in okay condition. What it really, needs is improvement to the tee boxes. Quite a few have very little grass. Not that hard to fix them. A little grass seed and water.

Consistent Greatness

Out of all the courses my foursome plays, this is by far my favourite. It's not the longest, nor most difficult, but every time I play here, I leave satisfied and happy. All four of us agree, they have the friendliest staff on the island (also, to the gentleman in the pro-shop, I still owe you a case of MGD). If it were less than a 50 minute drive from where we live, I'd be a member without question. I've played here at least a dozen times and have to fight off the urge to give them a 5 star review each visit, not that I don't think they deserve it but I don't want it to look like I'm buffing their rating. As long as they continue to provide the same quality of golf and service, we will continue to make the drive to give them our business.
