Arboretum Golf Club

The most hard golf course only at Arboretum & great Green next to small lake or big lake,,water everywhere.

The course was in great condition and was able to playin less than 4 hours because it was early and not a lot of players on the course.

Every hole has something interesting, and I also like it reasonably priced and right in the neighborhood. On a good day, things could move along well, however, every once in a while whenever there is a slow group, everyone would suffer the long waits.

Overall, the course was nice and had its fair share of challenges. However, the pace of play made it impossible to have a good round. Waited at least 10 minutes on each tee box and then even longer on approach shots. Not the best course if you are looking to squeeze in a quick round.

Nice little track. Not terribly long, but still challenging. In great shape and has great pace of play. Teed off at 9am on a Sunday and didn’t run into a single other group. Drink cart girl was out by us a few times. No real negatives about the round at all. Will definitely play here again.

Had a 1209 tee time.When I got there they were running 20 minutes behind because of an outing and was disorganized. Tee time in front of me left which moved me up. got out close to my time and had a 4 hour and 25 minute round

The staff was great and the coursewasin excellent playingcondition

All I cansayv is the course is in great condition oh I mean excellent condtion

This is our second time playing The Arboretum Club. We enjoyed it the first time and we enjoyed it even more the second time because even a little course knowledge will help.

The layout is fantastic, challenging, and nicely manicured throughout.

The green are very well built, Nicely shaped with excellent conditioning overall. Rolling quick and true and consistent around the course. Notable are the tight cut lines at the fringes and on into the intermediate and deep rough.

Bunkers were mostly in very good shape aside from a handful that were troubled due to some recent heavy rains. Overall, the water and bunker placement and shaping around the course is as genius as it is diabolical. You can expect this in many Dick Nugent designs like The Arboretum Club where you will find a premium on accuracy over power.

On the downside are the ball marks. So many unrepaired ball marks!! I don't blame the course for this: I do blame the many players ahead of us that just don't seem to care.

I just don't get it. Consider that The Arboretum Club provides free/complimentary single prong repair tools (my preference) at check in. Then consider the that there are signs in the carts request that clearly ask you to repair your ball marks. Then consider that most every golfer knows that leaving a ball mark is not only rude to every players that follows, but it destroys the green for weeks and slows play.

I repaired at least four or five ball marks on every hole and easily could have found up to 20 or more. Some ball marks were just a couple of feet from the cup. What? Why?

In my opinion, those players that refuse to repair their ball marks should be treated the same as those who deliberately ignore cart rules— to the detriment of the course— by driving their carts right up to the green edge, off the path during cart path only conditions, or through ground under repair or other areas marked off limits; They should provided the benefit of the doubt at first, by being schooled once, and then warned again, and if they persist, they should be asked to leave. - End Rant

Ball mark trouble aside, I'll leave you with the best of what we found at the Arboretum Club:

Ball washers and Foot brushes as both the back AND the Forward tees. Nice! (could use some fresh water and new towels on our visit)

Tee boxes are in excellent shape. We had no problem finding a quality position or conditions at any time.

Two bottles of sand/seed mix, both dry and easy to apply. Electric carts were beautiful with great pickup and quiet and smooth handling.

Rough was perfectly cut and consistent around the course. We had no trouble finding our off target shots and playing them back to the fairway or advancing them toward the green.

Note also that the practice green on this day perfectly matched the actual course conditions and if you're one to practice in advance, this can definitely take a few strokes off of your round.

All in all, The Arboretum Club was great fun and enjoyable from beginning to end. All staff encountered were very kind and helpful all around and we very much look forward to playing again! Thank you!
