Love my State Park Courses
After driving 1.75 hours you hope that the course is worth the drive. Well in this case, the course is absolutely wonderful. Great layout with quite a few risk reward holes - hit long but don’t hit it wrong because if you do bogey or double awaits you. Love the variations of the holes, uphill, downhill, blind tee shots. The greens are in excellent condition, a little slower in the morning due to the moisture on the ground, but when they dried out around noon…. Rolled very true with several undulations. Not much to offer for food choices at the turn, snacks, couple of cold sandwiches, but I was there to play some golf. Great course choice. Looking to return soon.
Staff accolades
MJ and his staff provided superior customer service. MJ comes out on the course to ensure everyone is having a good time. When he heard a member of our group had a hole in one the previous day he came into where we were having breakfast with a flag with “hole in one on 15” written on it. Totally unexpected but appreciated by the group. Well done!
Outstanding staff and golf course
MJ and his staff could not have been any better. Attention to detail and outstanding customer service. MJ came
Out on the course to make sure everything was good.
They made our stay very enjoyable.
Well done!👍
The pace of play was appalling
The course is dry and playing well
The issue is lack of resources.. we hit off at 10.45 am and by the end we were get cart warnings to return the carts by 7.30 pm.. We eventually finished at 4.05 pm
On the 14th tee - we had 4 groups on the hole and we could see the problem. The 16th hole was empty as a 6 some rolled up to the forward tee. Our cart informed us about 40 times we had to pick up the pace of play or a marshal would make us skip a hole - as we sat 15 yards behind the people on the tee in front of us..
You would think the carts could tell where the other carts are located
We called - we complained at the turn .. no one ever turned up...
Arrowhead Pointe is Beautiful!

Great course, best public course around. If you have the chance make the drive you want be disappointed. For a state run course it better than most private courses. Views are fantastic and no houses on the course.
Wonderful Course, gorgeous views!
Best public golf course we’ve played, absolutely beautiful!
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
