Beautiful course, always in good shape
The staff is very nice, friendly and welcoming When the wind is blowing, this is one of more challenging courses around. I really do love this place. Arrowhead Pointe really one of the best courses for the money you can play. There are no houses at all on the course and an abundance of great views of the lake. The course is quite a drive for me (2 hour drive), but I am more than willing to make the drive in order to play the course. The place is a fantastic value for the money.
Lots of golfers out at the course, but spread out and practicing social distancing. The course is taking excellent precautions for COVID-19 protection. Course is always a pleasure to play. The course is one of the most scenic courses around the Southeast with lots of scenic views and lots of holes right along the shores of lake Richard B. Russell. I highly recommend this course to ANYONE who wants to get to a fresh environment with beautiful scenery and play a fun and challenging course.
They have a nice practice area for all you need as far as practice and warm-up.
The course was in excellent condition. The pace of play was fantastic. We never had to wait at all for the groups in front of us. The greens are in very good shape. They have a some patches of fescue grass but not too much, and once the warmer summer hits, those patches will be gone.
This course is one of my favorite layouts anywhere in GA or SC. Every time I play the course, I have to hit every club in my bag, which is not to common or normal for me, but something I really enjoy and appreciate.
Do yourself a favor and make a tee time. You will not be disappointed.
Playd Sat.. and Mon.... They been doing a lot of work and it shows... 1 has a lot of poa... But greens get better through rest of course... This is the best iv seen n years...staff is very welcoming.. the covid. Precousion s r best iv seen so far.. when the wind blowing one of hardest courses under7000... LOVE the place when it plays like it did this week... Don't cry about it and play from back of back tzz..
Arrowhead Pointe is a real gem in the woods
Prepaying with Golfnow.com was perfect in these days of the virus pandemic. Lot's of players but spread out and practicing social distancing. Course is a pleasure to play with the scenic views and food conditions. A little tough for the ladies with several holes requiring a high trajectory to clear some obstacles. I recommend this track to anyone who wants to get to a fresh environment and play a challenging course.
Perfect Day at Arrowhead Pointe
Course was in excellent shape, pace of play very good. Taking excellent precautions for COVID-19 protection. Window for check-in at the clubhouse. Carts were very clean. Greens are in good shape, a few weeds but not much.
Upkeep
Only thing I can think to critique would be the fairways and greens, dark green and looking great, but they could stand to be mowed. Some places we couldn’t tell what was fairway and what wasn’t.
Excellent
This course is my favorite layout. I’m a low handicap and have to hit every club in my bag here which is not normal for me. Beautiful course and always in good shape.
Arrowhead
The views are beautiful and the course is in great shape
Nice Course To Be State Managed
Nice course...would have been a little better round had it not rained the night before. But we still had fun. The jewel of this course is the cart paths. Segmented concrete with minimal defects. Smooth ride from hole to hole. Pro shop staff and the starter were top notch. The folks in the cafe, that's a little different story. They were almost apathetic to the requests of guest. Several food items or toppings weren't available and this wasn't disclosed until after the order was paid for. Nice views of various parts of Lake Russell. Will definitely try to get back down there and play when the weather cooperates a little better. I'll just plan on bringing stuff to eat on the course instead of utilizing their cafe.
Value
Great golf course and great value for the money!!!
Great course
Truly one of the best courses for the money you can play.Friendly staff and the course is always in great shape.No houses and great views of the lake make it a go to for me when I’m willing to make the drive.Do yourself a favor and set up a tee time,you won’t be disappointed.
beautiful
this course is a beautiful experience in the wilderness. It is so peaceful and quiet here. All the front is in or near the forest. the back nine is around the very serene lake (we saw one boat only). The greens are very hard to read and on a couple of holes the forward tees have a bad angle, but generally it is a good challenging course. and it was in great shape.
One of the best around
Great condition especially this time of year, excellent layout that makes you play smarter not harder but does have the risk and rewards!!
Challenging course but playable.
Very good course , challenging and the only negative to me is it’s in the middle of nowhere.
Very scenic!
This is a beautiful golf course. The layout is great but they should put in a little more time into maintenance.
