Arrowhead Golf Club

About
The golf course at the Arrowhead Golf Club has been declared the top public course in Denver in the past by Golf Digest, as well as one of the top 75 public courses in the nation. The towering red sandstone rock formations are a trademark of the course, providing a unique and beautiful atmosphere, which is further enhanced by the abundant wildlife that have made the course their home. The rolling terrain provides elevation changes and undulation to the greens. Water hazards and bunkers also come into play on the course. Arrowhead Golf Club's signature hole is the par-3 13th hole. It is a steep, downhill hole with scenic views.

Restaurant too slow on getting food out. No course Marshall one is needed
Pace of play was awful !
Several times during the round we had a many as 5 tee times on one hole. The worst one of the holes was #10 right in front of the club house. Either no one noticed or no cared.
Beautiful Fall day
A beautiful 82 degree day with little wind. Scenery was awesome as usual on a very clear day. Paired up with 3 others and we had a wonderful day.
Nice!
Played this course many times and it never gets old. The most scenic course anywhere outside Pebble Beach. Well worth a GN fee of $99. I don’t think it’s worth the normal $150 plus fee.
Quirky in a good way
This was my first time playing at high elevation and this course delivered. A few holes are a bit on the quirky side but I tend to enjoy those types of courses. The views are great and the greens rolled very well. I'd imagine it would take a couple of times around to really know the course. I was sent out as a single sandwiched between all of the foursomes so that made for a lonely 5-hour round. The twosome that had the time cancelled and I can only assume there was no one else to group with. That said, pace of play was a bit of an issue.
Only thing good is the views
The views of the mountains are nice. The greens are stupidly impossible. Can’t stop anything around the greens. Get ready for a nightmare of chasing your ball all over the greens. Not a fun day. And for the price tag it’s outrageous. Avoid at all costs
Denver's 1
I had to play this course at least once and recommend that you do too! I was visiting so I wanted to play somewhere nice and was not disappointed. The scenery by itself is impressive, if not distractingly so, but the course is beautiful as well.
Wowed from the moment we arrived
Absolutely beautiful! Staff was well above expectations! If you are looking to play within an hour of Denver, this is a MUST PLAY! Worth the extra $$$ from a regular course.
Arrowhead Golf
It's always fun to play Arrowhead. The views are fantastic. The golf is a little harder than I like, but do not miss a chance to play the course.
Beautiful golf course
Beautiful golf course but the pace of play was slow
Arrowhead golf course
Greens were a little slow today. Bunkers were dry and crusty. Tough to splash out of. Greens,fairways and tee boxes great shape. $80 on a Thursday afternoon is ok, $140 would be steep.
One Big Problem
One of the prettiest places you will ever play. I just can't believe they were allowed to put a golf course in these rock formations. It's a good test from the tips. Sadly, if you are a serious player the pace of play is SO SLOW it takes the wind out of your sails. Played a 3 hour front nine and asked if anyone was marshaling the course when we made the turn. We were told "yes" and the pro shop sent out a young man far too young to get any results from the offending foursome. There were four foursomes on #4 tee at one point. I just don't think anyone really cared about pace of play, or they didn't seem to on that day. I think they cater to the "resort or tourist" player and not the more serious one. So, be careful and plan on at least 5 1/2 to 6 hours for your round.
Snail's pace play and the staff does not care!
If you are like me, a serious golfer, then do not waste your money or your time playing at the Arrowhead Golf Course. Sure it has breathtaking views and some of the holes are challenging. However, the pace of play was extremely slow. I was part of threesome and it took us five and half hours to play seventeen holes. We were getting on the greens within regulation. We were finally frustrated and upset after teeing off on the eighteenth hole when the sun went down. We picked up our fairway drives due to the darkness. There were six golfers (if you want to call them that) in front of us going back and forth from one side of each fairway to the other. Not only did they not let us play through, the folks working at the golf course did not even seem to care when we brought it to their attention many times. Some folks are meant to play golf, some are meant to stay on a golf range, and some are only meant to play miniature golf. Those six inconsiderate folks are meant for the latter. My suggestion is go play at Bear Dance Golf Course, which is much more challenging, much more beautiful, and the staff there take golf serious!
Beautiful!
Absolutely gorgeous! Loved the course, loved the staff, and loved the value! You have to go out and try it. You will not be disappointed.
Fun but slow
For a “premium” course they sure didnt enforce pace of play. Pretty, but frustratingly slow.
Great course, too expensive
This course is beautiful. They don’t allow walkers. That’s not good if you are a walker. The course is worth about $70, not $120-$140 which is what you pay during peak season. The practice facility is very, very small. No chipping or sand area. The driving range is tiny, no drivers allowed. If you hit left at all on the driving range, your ball will be on the 10th hole. Very dangerous. They need to put tall nets up and make it safer for the 10th hole and allow drivers. The course has gorgeous holes, like the Par 3 in between the red rocks on the back nine. One of the prettiest holes in the state.
