Great Weather and good conditions except for

Course is in good condition for a public course helped by the amount of rain in Denver this summer. Some bunkers were very hard and others very playable. There was a lot of goose material on three holes which we reported to the course. On a weekday afternoon and with cool weather we had an enjoyable time.

Slow Play on a weekday

Five hours in 90 degree heat on a mid-week afternoon was not pleasant. The course marshall was very visible and approachable but apparently
unable to get groups moving. Greens in good condition, fairways pretty soft in most spots. Rough would eat your ball in almost every case and I had too many cases. Facilities have been upgraded and repaired over previous years which is good to see.

Economical but enjoyable

We played on a hot afternoon that was interrupted by showers later. The tees and fairways were is good condition but showed heavy use given this is open to the public. There is a good mix of holes with water in play on some and bunkers in the obvious spots. The carts appeared to be new but the cartpaths were in disrepair. Looks like they had some capital but not enough to cover all their needs. Good course for beginners to intermediates for sure at the right GolfNow price.

Challenging Mountain Course with some stunning views

We tied off at noon and found the tee boxes in uniformly good condition, fairways mostly firm but did not see many dry patches. Greens at this elevation (+9000 ft) can be a challenge to maintain, but they ran true with few bare spots. There is a lot of sand on the holes and some pretty steep elevations but that enhances the views and the challenge. There is evidence of some deferred maintenance as others commented but it was not an obstacle. I would recommend the course if you want to play in the mountains.

Aged but in good condition for a municipal

Facilities are clearly aged and the city has not put much money into them. The course was in very good condition considering the ownership. There were some dry spots but the greens were well watered and pretty true in most cases. Fairways were well tended, bunkers hard from recent rains. We had the back nine to ourselves after lunch on a Monday. Lot of golf for the money.

Glad we tired it

We played on a cold and windy day that ended with a deluge in early afternoon. This is a tree-lined course with fairly narrow fairways and elevated greens on some holes. The condition of the fairways was not great but there was evidence of work being done to improve them. Greens were in good shape albeit pretty challenging at times.

Playable value in Boulder

The course is pretty easy but does have some water on both the front and back nine. Par 3s are bunkered and greens were sanded this early in the season. Course condition was good due to fall rains and recent warm weather. The views from some of the fairways are "world class" when there is snow on the Rockies!!

A "Must Do" in Denver

Arrowhead is one of the most beautiful courses I have ever seen. The unique rock formations coupled with the course layout is sure to make a player come back. Even early in the season, the course had very playable fairways and tee boxes. The greens had just been sanded so they were pretty fast. You owe it to yourself, friends, family and even people you don't like to recommend this course.
