Lake Arrowhead Yacht & Country Club - Highlands Course

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

Fairway grass is still dormant which added to the challenging course. Looking forward to returning when it greens up...

Course was in really good condition for this time of year. Grass range. Greens and layout were good but tough. Glad I played with a regular or I would’ve made a lot more mistakes off the tee. Got a deal at $29 so value was top notch too

Lake Arrowhead remains tough course for all amateurs. Plays long elevation ,lots of carry across hill and dell. Very nice staff as always

Fairways yet to come in and are a bit bare. Greens in decent shape

Great course, great staff, great fun.

Pace of play can slow down a bit on weekends, but it's still worthwhile.

Play here 6-8 times a year. Course is in decent shape for how cold and wet this winter has been. Staff is always the friendliest around. $54 is a fair deal too. Two thumbs up.

The staff were extremely unfriendly. Could have been due to frost delay and their regulars being upset. Play was extremely slow. Some of it could be excused by delayed shotgun start, but most was due to poor gold etiquette by the regulars, I mean waiting for the green to clear on a 270 yard tee shot when you can only hit 200 yards is ridiculous. It was very obvious that regular members do not take care of the course, ball marks not repaired on the green, divots not filled, etc. I members don't care about the course, why should visitors?

The course has great layout and could be a very nice place, but!!!
