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!

Excellent course

The course was in great shape. It is very challenging but in a good way. It was top notch all the way. If people would just replace their divots the course would be beyond belief.

Impressed...A grade!

I had no idea just how nice this place is. This course is excellent. I would caution, you need to be able to find fairways here or get ready for a big number and lost balls. High handicappers may not have a great day, but low handicappers are going to love this place...my opinion.

Slow play...

Nice golf course. Driving 1.2 hrs to get there. Nice layout and conditions but you have to accept the park kind of feeling... No starter, no time check, family with 3 carts and kids in the weekend in the morning... For sure 5 hrs round is not something to enjoy.

So a little patience and it will be ok. Thanks

Amazing track

This is a diamond in the rough. Amazing course layout, lots of doglegs that cause you to play strategically or be bold with shot shaping. Lots of scenic holes along the water. Greens were pure! Will gladly play here again.
