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.

Greatest Little Golf Course on Vancouver Island

We have played this course many times over the years we have lived on the Island. It is a great course for couples as it is of moderate difficulty. If we lived closer to the course we would be members. The patio and restaurant are very good, staff has always been super, the food is your good stick to your ribs pub food. All around a very nice place to play and stay afterwards for a meal.

You gotta play and eat here!!!

Winter Golf

All four of us have played this course a number of times before. We most often do so in the shoulder seasons. This allows us to work on our irons while still having some challenging play in a reasonable amount of time often in less than ideal weather.

The course is well maintained with the except of a few greens. Most holes you are either shooting up hill or down. On this day the course was very busy but we did not have to wait on any tee box. A lovely setting. Would encourage you to give the course a try.

Good late season shape

Although the greens had been punched about 3 weeks earlier, they were still a bit rough, which I would chalk up to the unseasonably colder temperatures which we have had this fall. But the rest of the course was in good late season shape.

The pro shop staff were as usual very professional and personable and the staff in the restaurant were friendly as is the norm for this course.

We had an enjoyable, although chilly day.

Beautiful scenery of the valley below Mount Arrowsmith.

The course was in excellent shape. The greens had been aerated and sanded but we throughly enjoyed our round.

We started at 3:15 and finished at 6:15. Three hours. just as the sun was setting.

It was $18 each for our threesome.

Bad experience!!

I didn't actually get to play this course. I booked a round for two for Wednesday on the Arrowsmith website. I got a conformation back for Monday. When I called Arrowsmith to tell them about it, they said they have nothing to do with their online booking. I have to call Golf now.. I called Golf now and they said they would need to call Arrowsmith. As of today I paid for two rounds of golf and played none. Bad experience with Arrowsmith golf and back experience with golf now.

Arrowsmith is such a great course. From their course conditions to their amazing staff. I don’t know if I’ve ever had a more accommodating and friendly staff anywhere.
