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.

Mostly par 3's. Nicely laid out.

Very busy on this day so played a little slower than usual. Greens were in good shape though a little slow for this time of year, (have had a long hot summer).

A great workout for your short game!

This course is a great place to work on your short game. 13 of the 18 holes are Par 3, but don't be fooled.....The greens are surrounded by lush mounds and if you bounce off the wrong side, you'll be pitching up and onto the green. Bounce off the correct side, and you might see a generous kick towards the pin.

The setting is also very tranquil and late day rounds are awesome. I would recommend a cart as the course - though short - is quite hilly. On a summer day, playing "pooped" will take the fun out of your round...

If you take advantage of the deals on Golf Now, you can play a round of 18 with a cart for as little as $25....

The ladies (and Paul) in the pro shop are very nice. The restaurant offers tasty food and dining on the clubhouse patio is absolutely top notch.

I recommend this course to golfers of all skill levels.

Fun on Canada Day!

Hubby and I played Arrowsmith on July 1st and had a very nice time. We've played here a few times over the years and always enjoy ourselves.
I booked our round through GolfNow so we got extremely good value. As an executive style course the holes are shorter but very entertaining. The greens were in nice shape and challenging for us. The large evergreen trees provided a welcome puddle of shade so we didn't get overheated and give division to the fairways.
Slight detraction was the beverage cart service was done at 2:30, our tee time was 2:45. Be aware and load up at the restaurant before you head out.
We love to sit in the shade of the outdoor patio after we're done and enjoy a glass of wine and an appetizer or two. A beautiful setting looking out over the pond's fountain, the 18th fairway and Mt. Arrowsmith as a backdrop.
We will be back!

Good for beginners

Many par 3's made it nice for a relatively new golfer. Walked 18 holes in under 4 hours with a foursome. Greens were fast and course was in great condition. Staff upon check-in was friendly and helpful. Ate at the restaurant and it was great value for the money.

Great course to play with my better half

Yes this is a smaller course but a great challenge. Club selection is the key with the uphill and downhill holes. Fairways are good and rough is a challenge. Greens are a challenge and were in fairly good condition for this time of the year. Play this course year round but late spring early summer it is awesome. Food at the restaurant is very good. We will be back

U.S. Open Rough

My wife and I played our round with another couple we met at the first tee. They were both members and were very friendly and we enjoyed playing with them.
Since I reviewed this course last year nothing much has changed, except the length of the rough, it was in my opinion ridiculous to say the least, time after time when one of us hit a ball into the rough we had to spend an inordinate amount of time searching for it as the balls would sink to the bottom and were almost impossible to see unless you were almost standing on them. When you have a course that is mostly played by older folks and beginners, 5 to 6 inch rough is very hard to play from and adds nothing to the experience.

Ok for a quick round

Course is quite scenic and staff was friendly. Members are not very welcoming. We got yelled at on the first tee by 6 old men who claimed they were up. Greens were nice and the course was ok. A couple of spots where you hit tee shots that could hit players on the next tee. Overall, not bad.

Golf now review

We enjoyed playing the course very much. Golfed nine, stopped for a bite to eat and then did the back nine. We arrived at the course early and were able to tee off sooner than our original tee time and the staff were extremely friendly. GREAT DEAL!!!!THANK YOU!

Fun Course

I hadn't played Arrowsmith for some time as I had been laid up with an injury, but from what I remember the course condition has deteriorated from the last time I played there and we have had perfect weather this year and most courses are in peak condition.
That being said it is still an enjoyable place to go for a day of golf.

As long as the pace of play is maintained, this course provides a good tune up for your short game in a peaceful country setting.

lots of par threes to work on the short game

unfortunately I booked my tee time for the wrong day and was forced to pay full pop when I changed it to Fathers day! Note to self-double check the confirmation

great for your short game

when checking in they wanted to charge us $50pp instead of the $24 that we booked for (even though I had a copy of the confirmation) Finally took the confirmation paper and charged us the correct price.

Course is good for this time of year, greens need attention though

My wife and I like this course for using our irons, it is a nice 18 hole course and usually done in 3hrs. The greens need some work right now, but still winter here, The scenery is beautiful and the grounds are well kept. Great selection in the pro shop for clothes and also good food.

Love Arrowsmith!

I learned to golf at Arrowsmith several years ago and always love to play there. As a newer golfer, I can manage 18 holes without feeling worn out like I do when I do 18 holes on other courses. Scenic, wide fairways - a great course overall and great food at the clubhouse afterwards.
