Secret gem

Arrow head pointe was a very nice and challenging course. The entire grounds were in excellent shape. Definitely a secret gem within the state park. Tee times were readily available two days in advance. Loved playing here and will definitely be back. The lake views were amazing.

Really Nice

I’ve played one other state park course and was surprised how much nicer it was than I expected. Well this was even better? Greens are in excellent shape and are really interesting. If you struggle to hit it straight (like me), it can be difficult at times. But, apart from one hole, I never found it to be overly penal. The back 9 is shorter and the holes fly by on the lake. But we really enjoyed our morning there and would be happy to return. Great value.

Great views

Course could have been better. Fairways very hard. Good drives run into trouble. Greens very slow. Nice layout.

Love coming here

Pace of playing was a bit long than usual. I didn't get to finish all18 holes. Normally it's a great experience but sometimes other players in front of you take too long. Definitely coming back, this is one of my favorite courses.

Fantastic course

My father and I went for our birthdays. Excellent course! Hardly anyone there on a Friday. Course was in good condition even though it was February. 10/10 will play again.
