This course is a gem- worth playing

Course was well maintained and should be a destination for anyone traveling to the area. The backdrop of Lake Russell on many of the back nine holes was tranquil. Great layout when playing the tips which required hitting almost every club in the bag.

Great Escape

The back nine here rivals Great Waters if not better because no boats or lakeside homes. Love this course. Unfortunately the greens had been punched about 10-14 days ago and were fuzzy with new growth. Sands need some work like edging. I will be back in July and bet it will be in top shape!

Terrible course

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!! Especially doing the stay and play. Your are promised breakfast buffet. Free round each day. There was zero breakfast and zero buffet lol. The stay and play package at arrow pointe came with two rounds and I got charged for one when I looked at my bank account next day.

I also heard they arrested a guy this past weekend on Saturday 6/14 for peeing in the bushes! (indecent exposure). I would say on most golf courses - taking a leak in the bushes is common practice, slightly frowned upon - i understand but to have four sheriffs take you off the 11 tee box in handcuffs..... After coming to elberton and spending $ on the so called "stay and play and go to jail" package!!

Be careful with this place. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE, Or go to jail.

The person you are speaking about was arrested for exposing themselves to a cleaning lady at the cabins and arrested for possession of methamphetamine. This same person trashed the cabin. Additionally, everything in the restaurant was shut down due to covid-19.

Great Experience/Beautiful Course

Beautiful park/course that was over crowded on a Saturday. Makes the place a hidden gem. Highly recommend for the price . The course doesn’t play long but The course layout does force you to play smart. Over all great experience and make sure you study how to read Bermuda greens...this could give an advantage.

Great day

Beautiful layout with great views.

Shorter holes require precise tee shot. Greens are multi- tiered with many undulations. Although playing slow- could still be treacherous if hit in the wrong spot.

Staff very friendly and helpful.

Arrowhead Pointe G C

I always enjoy making the trip up to play Arrowhead Pointe. The course played a little hard and fast from previous rounds, but in all fairness the course has not greened up all the way yet. I’ve read sometime ago that this course was a hidden gem, and I would have to agree. I would tell anyone who’s never played there to make a trip and decide for themselves.
