Arrowhead Golf Club

Reading some reviews from over 8 years ago on this site, and having experienced some of the same problems just a day ago is quite interesting. As one that likes to travel the world to different golf courses, I would like to think I have a good opinion on what a true golf experience should feel like. I have played some courses, like the plantation course on Kapalua and sheep’s ranch in Bandon Dunes, that left you after the round feeling like you just went through a religious experience over your 4-5 hours. As a golfer does, we always have a list of courses we want to play. And arrowhead was one of them. Seeing the views is enough of a selling point to make someone want to come obviously. But if you didn’t scroll through 8 years of reviews before you went, you would not know what you would be in for. For example, when you pay for what they charge here, you expect a few things. Basic non-negotiable amenities. Enough room on a range to fully warm up, a net so range balls don’t get on the 10th fairway, flat and well maintained tee box’s, a full and lush fairway, bunkers full of soft fluffy sand, the grass around those bunkers to be grown in. These shouldn’t even be a question when you charge over $250 per person. I’m sorry, I have played a lot of places at that price point, and never had to complain about them because they seem to care about their customers and the reputation of their course. What is very unfortunate is the experience I had a day ago, has been experienced by many other golfers before me. And I would like to prevent any other golfer being let down playing at this course. They don’t care about how much you spent. They don’t care about pace of play. They don’t care about having sand in their bunkers. They have a total lack of respect for true golfers that love and appreciate a great golf experience. They have no problem with robing you of one. Reading back on some of these reviews, calling the club house just like I did to complain about a 1st time golfers we were paired with, most likely was not the 1st time this had happen. But what seems to be worst of it all, is management knows about this. They know all the problems associated with their course, but seem not to care. If they did care, the experience I had a day ago would not have happened. What is also hard to comprehend, is if they put everything they had into this course, it would be spectacular. Like totally a true destination round of golf. But whoever manages it does not care. They would rather send 6 foursomes out an hour, bang them over the head for $280, and listen to them complain as they count our money. Truly have never been so disrespected in my life for going to a golf course. I left a review on google the day we played, and the “owners” responded with 3 sentences about how they will learn from this review. Why didn’t you learn 8 years ago from the same reviews of the course I had. They are a disgrace to the golf community. Selling a dream experience, and leave you wanting your money back and more. Just a final note to add as well, the low end bribe of giving everyone drink vouchers is some of the worst marketing I have ever seen. Let’s get them a few more drinks so they don’t complain about the quality of the course. Extremely low class. Hopefully this gets to the right person and something is done to make this course what it can be, a global golf destination.

This is a wonderful course that is challenging and also has some amazing views. Can’t want to get back to CO and play it again.

Amazing scenery, wildlife, employees. There’s not a single thing to complain about at Arrowhead GC besides teeing off mats on one of the holes. It was worth every penny of $250 to me and I do not have a lot of money. Will definitely be coming back!

Loved my time here, awesome scenics, tricky holes, great time and no crowds!!!

All in all this round of golf was great. The course was in good condition with some carryover effects of narration last month.

My favorite place to bring guest to Golf) in Colorado

Was in town visiting family and found this course and glad ai did. Was worried due to snow few days before we played but course was excellent. Saw deer and turkeys on the course as well.

Yup, we were that group that held everyone up.We got teamed up with a couple of fellas that could crush the ball. The problem is, they were looking for their ball about 2/3 of the holes. It was cart path only. Very understanable since we have not had any percipatation this year. It is a very fun course to play but I can only afford it in the shoulder months. All in all, I would definately recomend playing when you can.

Great course. There was still snow on the ground and it was cart path only , but the course was still in great condition. The views are epic and the course is open on certain holes . Highly recommend

The course is absolutely beautiful. The scenery is epic, the course is in fantastic condition. I would consider this course on my top 5 of all time favorites now. Hopefully I get a chance to play it again this year. I really have nothing negative to say about this golf course!!!

Challenging but do able for a relative beginner woman. Would have been nicer with ladies tee boxes though!

Other than the slowish family of 5 in front of us with senior citizens, we could not have asked for a nicer day of challenging, fun golf!

We were squashed between 4 groups, with a line of carts behind us. Every tee box besides the first and second, we waited a minimum of 10-15 minutes, and there were a couple holes(timed!) that literally took over 35 minutes to finish. Not cool either, when you have to tee up with not 4 carts, but 8 carts waiting behind you! Talk about a stressful, and un enjoyable round. Part of me wishes I didn’t finish and got a back 9 “rain check.”

UNACCEPTABLE when paying that much for a round. Unacceptable regardless.

One of the few downsides of this course, hence my overall 4 of 5 stars. Marshalls need to be better and pace of play regulation needs to be better.
