Great Course
Great course! You won't find one nicer. Beautiful lake views, greens, and moderate elevation changes, peaceful,only surrounded by woods and lake, great staff,pro shop,and food to order, make this course a very worthwhile destination.
Well worth your time
The staff and conditions were outstanding. Considering the drought conditions in N. Ga this course was in excellent condition. Would recommend this course highly.
This is a great course for the price, a little bit off main thoroughfare but well worth the drive.
It is always a wonderful experience to play at Arrowhead Pointe. The facility, pro shop, staff, course, amenities, is always exceptional. The only reason I don't play this course more I live 90 miles away.
Once on the course I alway feel like I'm at a private resort and not a State Park course, the back nine are absolutely beautiful. This is a must play course for the price.
Great
The lay out for this course was great the holes along the water are beautiful.
what a course
arrowhead point was in the best shape and it was a joy to play
arrowhead review
course is great but the greens are a bear with undulation and difficult pace and slope.
Must play if you can! Worth the drive!!
This place exceeded my expectations as well as the guys I brought with me. We drove a little over an hour from Augusta and could not have been happier! Course in great shape with some punishing rough to deal with. Greens are just a bit slow but roll great, tee boxes and fairways are wonderful, and traps were needing some tlc from recent heavy rains but nothing I was worried about really. Very nice driving range and challenging putting green to get you prepared! Great food inside clubhouse and super staff. Keep offering golfnow options and we will make it a regular stop!
A must play!
This course offers views and conditions unmatched in the area. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. Even if you have to drive an hour or more to play this course its worth it.
A hidden gem!
Well first off I see that people over rate golf courses on here, and I do not just out 5 stars to any old course. Having said all that I love playing this course it is by far the best of the 3 state parks courses that I have played. So me giving them 3 stars means it a real good golf course. If your a fan of the state park courses then this one is a must play!!!!
Awesome and beautiful
Only negative is greens are slow
And fairways are a little high buying great condition
A must play golf course
Beautiful course with tricky good greens
This course is everything people said it would be. The course is in excellent shape. There were several times I stopped to think is this really a state park course. The staff was extremely helpful and polite. I will be coming here all the time. The only other courses I played that were this good cost three times as much to play.
Great Golf
This is a wonderful course! It would be difficult to play on a better track unless you were a member at Chanticleer or Thornblade. Staff is great and so are the facilities. My issue was with one of the starters who found us parked to close to a green. He asked if we needed a handicap flag. I do poorly with passive aggressive comments and would have expected better. Won't stop me from playing there again, but there is a right way to speak to customers. We were wrong too close to the surface in any case.
Great Experience!
Golf staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Hotdogs at the break were fantastic, and what else can I say about the course... The scenery, greens, and nature are spectacular. All around a 5 star experience.
Excellent course with scenic views
Played for my first time today drove over 40 miles to get there. Very peaceful. Views of water on back 9 is tremendous. Staff was very helpful and gave me some pointers. Had full service food and very nice proshop. Driving range, putting green. Pace of play was excellent tee time of 8 a.m. passed a 4some and was by myself the rest of the way. Very great especially since it was a Hot deal time! I will be back for sure.
Worth the drive
It's a bit of a hassle to get to since it's right on the lake, but well worth it.
Great layout, taking you along side the lake on a few holes.
Well maintained, and the staff was professional and welcoming to new guests.
Being a public course, it was kept as expected. However if I had to complain about anything, it would be that the greens were too slow. This could be the time of year, but either way, it wasn't bad.
One playing tip. Pay attention to where the lake is while putting. It's a great learning experience on the greens for a player that hasn't putt on such greens.
Take in the sites while you're there. Enjoy. Hit 'em well.
Great Course
The course was in great condition, especially the greens. We played 18 holes and never saw another golfer. The holes on the back nine that go out and back on a peninsula offer beautiful views of Lake Russell. It is definitely worth the drive to play Arrowhead Pointe.
Hidden Gem
As the starter told me upon my arrival the course is a hidden gem. Beautiful layout. Course is in great condition with lovely greens. My tee time was 8:10 and I had the entire course to myself for the first hour. This is well worth the drive, which was for me 80 miles. I will return.
Great course
Everyone at the course is extremely friendly and helpful. The course is well maintained. The back nine with the lake views will keep me coming back.
Excellent
Course is in great shape the layout is exceptional. Course is in between on length depending on what tees you choose. Several holes have beautiful views of the lake.
Beautiful course and challenging
Wonderful around at this beautiful course challenging big rains and deceiving. Staff was fantastic equipment clubhouse great!
