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

Great Course it's like a golf course dropped in nature. The course is well managed and well taken care of.

Take time to visit

As someone who’s more used to city golf courses wrapping around houses and near noisy, busy streets, Arrowhead Pointe was a wonderful alternative. Lush and remarkably quiet it’s more like a golfers sanitarium to which I would gladly be sentenced. The greens are big, sloped and challenging - just like the fairways - and the course plays long, even from the mid-tees. Some forced carries over water or marsh add extra angst off the tee.

From a purely aesthetic standpoint, the holes along the lake are beautiful, particularly the one right at the pointe.

For a $31 Hot Deal the experience was amazing. The only negative of course is the drive from noisy civilization, but it’s definitely worth it!
