As nice as ever

Always have a great time at Arrowhead. Could not figure out the speed of the greens but that was probably due to weather and not management. A great value.

Awesome Golf

Great golf course. The layout is awesome and very scenic. This is a must play course. Staff across the board are excellent and they do a great job with food and beverage. The only negative of this course is with the greens. They are always in excellent condition but are very slow. You can expect in winter really slow and during the growing months to roll around 8 to maybe 8.5. Again play the course just be prepared for really slow greens.

Arrowhead Pointe is one of the best values ever. I have played the course for the past 15 years or so. This course is as good as Pinehurst and the green fee is under 40 dollars. Beautiful and large greens. It is totally bermuda including the beautiful fairways and well manicured greens. The course has beautiful views of Lake Russell and is in play on numerous holes. The staff is outstanding. This is my favorite course of all time. Once you play it you will be addicted

Beautiful scenery and conditions

Due to traffic we arrived 3 minutes past our tee time. When we walked up The starter on duty was very rude a unprofessional he said “1100 doesn’t mean 1103, you will have to see if she can work you in.” We were aware that we may have to wait and made no comments about trying to rush to get started. The starter was just very rude, his comments and attitude were terrible. When we went into the pro shop to check on the next available tee time there was no one else scheduled for 30 minutes after the lady said we could tee off immediately. I just don’t understand why this employee felt it necessary to be so rude and unprofessional when there was no one else scheduled to play for 30 minutes after we were scheduled.

This course is the bomb!

I drove up from Atlanta to play here after having it on my list for too long. What a gem! Course was beautiful, and I love the design of the course, played 27 holes and the course was fairly empty. All the holes were pretty open and nothing would keep you from scoring but yourself. Didn't take much to figure out the greens once you dial in speed. Clubhouse staff was really helpful and friendly. Range was nice. Can't say enough good things about the course and value, totally worth the drive from Atlanta, will play again soon.
