Great course . Good layout. Very challenging. Will definitely play again.
Great Layout, great condition
On the scale from 1-5. I would give it a 4.95. 0.05 substrated for a little slow green
Great course, TERRIBLE rough
Played for the first time and love the course. Beautiful layout with awesome scenery, some fantastic holes. Only complaint was the rough. I have no problem with a player being penalized for hitting it in the rough, but you shouldn’t risk losing your ball EVERY TIME you miss the fairway. I lost a ball a few feet from the fairway. I dropped a ball in the area, went 10 feet to my cart for a club, and literally almost didn’t find the ball I dropped.
I am planning another round there in October and hope the rough has been cut down to about half what it was this day.
Tough Rough
Course is in good shape, however the rough is overly punitive. Miss the fairway and count on adding an extra stroke to your score for that hole. If you can find your ball you’ll be lucky to advance it more than 50 yards.
Would not recommend for the recreational golfer until they cut the rough down some.
Rough
For me, the typical amateur, the rough is way too high. If you don’t hit the fairway you may never find your ball unless you step on it. This results is a lot of lost balls and very slow play.
Arrowhead Point
I stated that I wouldn't recommend the course which is only because of the condition of the roughs which in my opinion should be shorter or a different grass. MY group was a threesome behind a foursome with a twosome following up. Play was made longer because most everyone was looking for their ball.
Our most favorite course in the mountains, can't beat the beauty!
Great day once again at Arrowhead Pointe, had the course to ourselves! It was hot but there was a breeze that kept it tolerable, the course is in EXCELLENT SHAPE. Greens run true and smooth. Only thing that was challenging was the rough, too long for finding the golf balls, would suggest to get them a little shorter. Thanks for another wonderful day out, staff at pro shop & out on the course very friendly & polite. Can't wait to come back when the weather gets a little cooler!! Keep up the excellent customer service & course conditions. Stay well &
God Bless!
Beautiful golf course. Well maintained. Hit the fairways or you may be in for a long day if you are not used to hitting from 3 inch rough. Worth a lot more than they charge to play. Back side is as beautiful a course as you'll find in these parts.
First Time at Arrowhead
What a lovely course! It was challenging and fun. We highly recommend it!
Picturesque course
I thoroughly enjoyed my experience playing this course and was wowed by the views and appreciated the courteous staff. I hope to make the trip from Athens regularly
Great value
Course is beautiful and the right amount of challenging. The only negative in my experience is the roughs were extremely long. I would be slightly off the fairway but be searching for my ball for 5 minutes because it was buried and not visible.
Arrowhead
Great place and not crowded!! The only thing is there are no trap rakes or ball washers, other than that really enjoyable round. The staff is great!
One big problem
What can I say, the course is beautiful and we'll maintained. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The beer was ice cold. most of the staff are wonderful. This is my favorite course except for "one big problem". The "pro" is rude and condescending. This is not a "bad day" scenario... This is a constant. He's a jerk. Everytime he seems to go out of his way to ruin my day.
Cut the rough
Course is awesome! My only complaint is the rough is brutal..
Great Condition, but at a snail's pace
The course was in great condition, however it took 5 hours to complete our round as a twosome! There were 2 foursomes ahead of us when we teed off at 11am, and neither foursome had any urgency to play ready golf and there was no Marshall on duty at the course to push them to speed up their play. Very disappointing pace that took most of the enjoyment of the great conditions away from the round.
Beautiful course....
This is a beautiful course, particularly the back nine, but the rough is rough! Easy to lose your ball in it! The challenge of the course and beautiful location is well worth it!

Rough makes it nearly impossible to find your ball. Must stay in the fairway. Course was.in great shape.
