Hidden Gem

I play this course 3 or 4 times a year and it is always very good. The golfnow rate of $13 was an added bonus. The course was in great condition although the greens had a lot of poa annua.

Well worth the Drive

I only wish this course was closer to me. This is an absolutely beautiful course nestled in and around Lake Russell. Greens were a little slower than I'm used to but very consistent. This thing will be amazing when the fairways start greening up. Great Value even if I had paid twice or three times what I paid.

Walked

Beautiful but overbooked

If you have 6+ hours to play 18 holes then this is the course for you. Due to rain the day before every hole was golf cart path only which added some extra walking time but then we sat and waited a lot due to what appeared to be an over booking issue. Long round and over an hour drive from home made for a very long day.

Road trip

First time playing at Arrowhead Pointe at Lake Richard B. Russell. Beautiful state park and the golf course was excellent. Course was in good shape and it was not too crowded. Enjoyed the layout of the holes, especially those along the lake. Views were incredible! Undulating, challenging greens and the bunkers were in good shape as well. Very scenic, enjoyable golf course. Worth the drive

Picturesque setting

Challenging course in the state park so no cars or houses which I love. Course is in great shape. Bunkers not the best but they were consistent. It’s a bit of a drive for me but the experience is wonderful and even if you are having a bad day golfing, the setting is so peaceful and scenic that you will enjoy yourself.

Beautiful course!

We drove about 150 miles to play this corse and we camped at Richard B Russell State Park campground. Played the course twice and never got tired of the views. The course layout is great with some of the best lake views anywhere. The greens and fairways are in perfect condition. The greens have two or three levels, definitely the hardest I have ever played. So many three putts!!!

My wife drove the cart even though she does not play, she just wanted to enjoy the views.

You should play this course.
