Amazing Course

Arrowhead is absolutely gorgeous. Best course around and it’s very affordable. Highly recommend playing this course. The in-cart gps is awesome and saves a lot of guesswork about yardage of shots. Staff is super friendly and helpful

Great course, oblivious ground crew

Course is in great shape. Greens are not fast, but not too slow. Ball rolls true. Fairways and tee boxes were in great shape. Cart paths have a little damage and there was a tractor in the middle of a fairway next to a repair hole. Good place of play. Would have been better except for the ground crew employee who was grooming the traps. He drove the tractor around the traps while people putted, drove in front of groups while they were preparing to hit and just completely ignored the fact there were golfers on the course.

Arrowhead Point

A average course. Greens are very grainy. They had recently been aerated and had not grown back.

Once when the greens heal over from being punched, great place to play. Flat Tee Boxes was a huge plus. Nice white sand in the bunkers and the fairways are well cared for.

Amazing all the way around.

We had a group of four for my birthday and had an amazing time. The staff in the morning was amazing and we made the turn really quick and was able to get back out and finish our round. I would love to go camp at the park and play again.

Hidden gem

Always impressed with this course. I drive an hour and half and it’s worth it. Back nine is beautiful along the water. Would recommend doing a stay and play at one of the cottages!

Great day of Great golf on a Great course

One of the better public courses we’ve played, from tees to greens. Not crowded at all, ladies in clubhouse very friendly. Highly recommend, just wish it was closer, but being a State Park course w/ no houses, I understand.

Go play if you get a chance. Looking forward to going back
