Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club - Highlands Course

Decided to take the wife out to ride along while I played. Played LA a million times over the years. Teeing off at 3:10 (definitely not peak hours) and there was no one on the course. As Im checking in I am informed that my $44 round will be $64 since my wife wants to ride along. Thinking there is some confusion somewhere I reiterate that my wife isnt playing. Doesnt matter. Begrudgingly, I paid it and went about my round. The greed has gotten out of hand. Especially unjustifiable greed like this. No worries Lake Arrowhead. Im sure youre doing great and dont need my money. Good news for you. Youve gotten all youre gonna get. For the other suckers youll get in the future, you might consider putting that in writing somewhere. Oh, and fill the bunkers in or make them part of the course.

The course was just ok. The greens were in good condition but the pace of play was extremely slow. 5+ hours for 18.

Public course off beaten path. Worth drive to play this challenging course.

Lake Arrowhead is a very challenging but well laid out golf course. The Mountain views are spectacular . The course is in great condition and greens are exceptional. While playing you can encounter deer, turkeys, and other wildlife.

I strongly recommend Lake Arrowhead for a great day of golf.

We were told the greens were punched over a week ago but I think they were punched the day before. Solid sand and you really couldn't even putt.

I had not played Lake Arrowhead Golf Course for about 5 years. I had played 4 times before.

I do have to say it was 4/18, obviously early spring. I was surprised, if not disappointed for the course conditions. The course website had listed that the course greens had recently been aerated. As we started, we took that into consideration. But quite a lot the greens had a lot sand on them, not understandable.

There were a lot of huge areas on the course that were “clay” patches, I guess from construction. We were able to play and we had a lot fun. I had wanted to play this course because of its trees & scenery, that was accomplished. But I was disappointed in the overall conditions of the course.

We have played this course several times with great conditions, but the best green on the course this time was the practice putting green. The aeration was OK there, as the sanding was very light and even. All the other greens had patches of heavy sand in spots with little sand in other places. Putting was impossible to judge. The fairways were rock hard with just a little bit of green grass. Thin lies were the name of the game. We had several holes in which drives landing on one side of the fairway resulted in rolls into hazards on the other side of the fairways! The conditions destroyed what was left of an otherwise beautiful day. Wait a month and check other reviews.

The staff was great, the course is beautiful will rolling hills. The only flat spot is the tees. Pretty difficult course for a beginner. They were working on the greens so we were able to play at a great discount. I will be going back! I guess if I had to complain about something. It was the lack of signs telling you which way to go on some of the holes. Great experience for my son and I.

Golf cart did not have enough power to climb a hill!! I had to get out and walk the hill and i have bad hips and mobility issues. That was ridicules! My partner said it has happed to him before on the same hill!!

This was my second time playing this course. The first time, the tee boxes were in terrible shape. So I thought maybe they’ll just repair them and I’ll give them another shot in a year. Nope. Came back and the tee boxes were worse, the fairways were rock hard and had very little grass. It was almost more advantageous to hit into the rough to have a better lie. And many of the tee boxes were literally straight sand. Pretty difficult to generate power when the ground sliding beneath your feet.

To their credit, they were re-sodding some of the tee boxes. However, it’s clear they neglected and mismanaged them for so long that the other tee boxes literally became sand traps.

It’s just a shame because this course has all the makings to be an incredible course. Its location is great. The mountain and forest vibes are peaceful. There’s wildlife everywhere. It’s quiet. The layout/design is the right amount of challenging. I want to like this course so bad. But with two bad experiences now, I’m highly unlikely to give it another shot.

Very difficult layout. You will need to be able to place shots. You will use every club in the bag for this course

Enjoyed the round , still dormant and in rough condition especially the tee boxes so not in $80 condition for mid-March. A few super tricked out holes that are ridiculous but it is a fun course to play and if in good condition more worth the $80
