Golf by the lake

This was the second time I have played this course. It is well maintained and fun to play. Many holes are along the lake and we did see Bald eagles while playing. Carts were in good condition.

Terrific Public Course!! Great Condition; similar to Private Course Conditions!!

Arrowhead Pointe is a hidden gem in that it’s a public course with private course conditions!! Terrific conditions - fairway, greens, rough, bunkers! A number of holes are on Lake Richard Russell and this is a Georgia state park course. What it lacks in yardage (the white tees play a couple hundred yards shorter than I would like), it makes up for it in a tight strategic layout at times, a couple of double dogleg par 5s and beautiful par 3s. And at $38 including cart during the week, no other course in this great shape gets anywhere near this price and value! Thanks to Barrett Johnston the PGA Pro and the greens keeper and team, this is our go-to for when we are up at our Lake Hartwell home.

Anderson guys

Greens still bumpy and slow from aeration. We were informed when we booked, so not a big surprise. Still very nice course for the money.

Great Outing

The course is well maintained, thought since we were near so much water that bugs would be an issue but they were negligible. The holes were challenging but entertaining. My wife and I will definitely play here again.

Enjoyable As Always

Greens were stripped and putts did not role true, particularly around the hole. Fairways and roughs were cut to a good length. Bunkers had sufficient sand in them. Challenging but fair pin placements.
