Great

I love it down there. It’s great scenery, quiet, and relaxed. NOBODY is in a hurry. It’s a hour drive and I’m thinking of making it my weekly course.

Best Conditions in March

Played March 13,2026. Greens are in perfect condition. Overall course conditions are the best I’ve played this early in the season. Can’t wait to play again when it’s a bit warmer. Fairways, tee boxes in great shape. Layout is challenging and fun. Pretty much can hit driver off most holes. The Pointe is beautiful at the lake. Staff are extremely friendly. Checked me in, loaded my cart and brought my cart key. Introductions to others in my group. You will unplug to play here as cell service is spotty for some carriers.

Our ga escape

There’s a couple of us Sc guys that love to come play this course. It’s laid out well and is a good value if it’s on the golf now sale app. The back 9 is scenic heaven on the lake.

Great public course

I understand why arrowhead pointe is rated as a top 10 public course in Georgia. It was an excellent condition, challenging, and a lot of fun.

Well, worth the drive and the hot deal at GolfNow was excellent

Best course around

We live in Greenville SC, but always play here a couple of times each year. It’s well worth the 90 minute drive. Everything is incredible

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.
