Frustrating day

SLOW play due to a group of 5 players more interested in drinking beer and socializing than playing golf. Husband and wife in front of us and behind the fivesome said one guy just walks off the tee box and urinates in view of them on the previous green. Beer cans left all over the course. Staff came out on the back 9 to try and speed up play, but nothing changed. I blame Course Staff for allowing a fivesome to play on a Saturday, especially on a holiday weekend. Law enforcement was in the parking lot as I was leaving. Hopefully they were waiting for the drunks to drive and then pulled them over and arrested them. Do better Arrowhead Pointe/ Georgia State Parks!

Tips

The tips out here are a challenge especially if you do not drive it 280 which most times I do not. But it's fun. Greens were quick. Back side is beautiful! Played here lots and will play lots more. The gentleman working the front is so nice! Could not ask for a better golf getaway. And I do mean getaway. This is golf and nature. No outside noise!

Great Layout

Played the course on Black Friday. Course was full but still played 18 in 4 hours. Good condition, great layout with fantastic views. Only negative was half the course was cart path only with no water or seed in sight. Spent too much time reversing the cart out of fairways not marked off.

Chemizer

1st let me say Arrowhead is one of my favorite courses anywhere. The location the layout the surrounding lake and park are all fabulous and for a very affordable cost. My wife and I come 1hr from South Carolina to play as often as possible. However this was a very different experience. We we’re pared with a couple who thought this was a jogging track and wanted to play by themselves. and complained to management bc we asked them to join us as assigned a 4some. The park ranger finally explained they needed to join us or play behind to avoid being hit by golf balls.
Next we should have been advised b4 booking that construction was going on the entire course. Despite all this we were still able to enjoy our round with a very pleasant business man from Georgia and the usual friendly players ahead.
We hope the park system as other golf courses will post signs that jogging running etc is NOT ALLOWED on the golf course property. There are more than adequate roads and trails for this activity.
