Masters Week golf

Played Friday AM the wind was blowing 20-40+ MPH yes, it was breezy out by the lake. The course was in good condition just needs another 2-3 weeks of growth to fill out and shoukd be amazing. The greens were very hard for me to read though. Long puts were slow and shorter putts seemed to roll out faster.

I Wish Hickory Knob was in this condition

Great course conditions. Georgia should be proud of this course and its staff. I wish South Carolina took the same pride in the Hickory Knob course. It’s maintenance is pitiful compared to Arrowhead.

Scenic stretch of holes

Beautiful stretch of lakeside holes on back nine. Greens in great shape and rolled well. Fairways coming out of dormancy very nicely. Course in overall great shape. Powdery sand, consistent in every bunker. Second time playing course. Impressed both times.

Great conditions

They have made some nice improvements to course conditions, sodded some formerly bare areas and took out a few trees. Grass in fairways is coming in already and greens are rolling smoothly, although a bit slower than a couple of weeks ago. Great value. Just need to train staff up a bit on quicker check in and check out process at register.

Excellent course pace of play was awful

I played the Monday after Easter so maybe that had something to do with it, but the pace of play was horrible. It seemed like the T times were poorly managed. However, the overall course was beautiful. I will definitely give it another chance.

Worth the trip!

Great golfing experience!
Chose the course from reading previous GolfNow reviews, even though I had to drive over an hour to get there.
Simply put, it did not disappoint!

Not wet

Course is in great shape. But don't go if it's rained in the last 10 days they prefer that the course not to have any dampness at all or it'll be cart path only,and it's not an easy course for that.

Love the layout of the course. In the middle of nowhere . Surrounded by winding roads, but loved playing this course. Well worth it with GolfNow.

Wow - what a course

Been playing around Atlanta region and exploring all the courses..
This is one of the more stunning courses

Arrowhead is about an hour from Athens
Still that makes it an incredible value.

Conditions for early March were excellent
Greens were slow but hard to make a pitch mark and nice to see some green on the fairways
Layout is wonderful - especially back nine
Tees are generally in good conditions

We played Lake Lanier and this is comparable layout..
It is a state park golf course but the cost is wonderful value for the quality
Going back this week
