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.

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.

Beautiful scenic Course

My husband and I love this course,

It is not a long course but is still challenging enough and it can be walked. The scenery is beautiful, the staff are friendly... when you finish your game , you can relax with a cocktail at the lounge and a snack... wonderful.

Good short course

Good short course. Mostly par 3s, but can hit driver on a few holes. Course is heavily watered, so even in August, it is nice and green. Played fairly slowly, and only took 2 hrs 30 minutes for 18 holes.
