The golf course at the Arrowhead Golf Club has been declared the top public course in Denver in the past by Golf Digest, as well as one of the top 75 public courses in the nation. The towering red sandstone rock formations are a trademark of the course, providing a unique and beautiful atmosphere, which is further enhanced by the abundant wildlife that have made the course their home. The rolling terrain provides elevation changes and undulation to the greens. Water hazards and bunkers also come into play on the course. Arrowhead Golf Club's signature hole is the par-3 13th hole. It is a steep, downhill hole with scenic views.

We played for the first time May 13 and the course was very challenging -- especially the greens. We enjoyed the variety of experiences on all the holes.

Early spring at arrowhead

Early spring conditions but was in great shape for this time of year. The traps (4,9,15) I was in had sand which in Colorado is a nice surprise). My only disappointment was that the aeration had not recovered enough to have predictable putts

Great time, any time

This course’s views are worth a million bucks and to have played with my wife in a cart for $60, both of us! We’re ahead when we see deer and bucks hanging everywhere and us being able to play in December. We were not the only ones to take advantage of this deal as the course was jammed (5.25 hour round) but worth it every time.

Almost perfect

If the greens hadn’t been needled and sanded, that day, it would have been darn near perfect conditions.

Staff needs a makeover

You came here to hear about the course, so let's start there. This is a breathtaking track with incredible rock formations and elevation changes. Each hole deserves a picture or two. The greens are incredibly challenging. Not a flat spot on them, so even though they are slow, putts can easily slide away from you. If the greens were any faster, they would be unplayable- especially with the wind.

The pro shop staff and bag people/starters however got the day started on the wrong foot. When one of our group members had an emergency, they said they had to pair us up with the group in front of us. This only made pace slightly better for the group behind us- for a hole or two. They will not give you cart keys until the minute of your tee time, which by then you should have already sized up your opening tee shot and pegged it up.
We were paired with a couple 100+ shooters, which really made the round miserable. I am all for everyone getting out to play, but you need to take skill into account when pairing people up.
By the 6th hole, we were already 30 minutes behind and the staff refused to do anything about it. Didn't even get to finish our round with the pace of play.
If you have the cash and time to burn, I would recommend playing this course, but bring your entire foursome- otherwise there are better deals in the area.

Worth the $ - a red Rocky Mountain experience

The wind howled early in the day, but started to subside as things motored along. A real, fun layout with multiple astounding views. For the greens fee cost, I was a little surprised the post-round staff wasn't a little more attentive. But it wasn't a too big a deal.

Most scenic non ocean course ever played!

I've played 25 or so top 100 courses and flew in to Denver to knock Broadmoor East off the list. After 4 rounds there on way back to airport we stopped at Arrowhead which was about 15 minutes out of the way so no problem there. I can truly say this is the most scenic non ocean course I've ever played. We took more pictures here than any other. It's unbelievably pretty. I'm an 8 handicap and shot 88 so it's a tough course as well. Had way more fun with more interesting shot selection than at Broadmoor. The views were better than Garden of the Gods as well. Very green lush course with Sedona type Red Rock backdrop. Was just awesome. Highly reccomend!!

Over priced, over rated

Greens were slow, appeared to be just average maintenance, played several other courses that are a better value, ie Todd Creek, Walnut Creek

Arrowhead is a must

Played Arrowheadnlast week. What a beautiful and challenging course. The red rocks on and off the course are great to look at. The "rocks" on the course make for an interesting and fun round. Very playable and a solid challenge.
The food was great in the clubhouse. Their grilled brisket sandwich is fantastic. I had Guly recommend it.
My wife rode with me, and she enjoyed every hole and the views. Saw plenty of wildlife. Large buck with a big rack was lounging in one of the bunkers....quite a sight. If you are staging near Denver, play Arrowhead for sure. The practice area is short....irons only!

Nice courses pace of play horrible

Teed off at 9:18 behind a early morning outing. Course in great shape staff very friendly but for 160 + 65 for rental clubs do not be able to finish a round in under 5 hours is utterly ridiculous. There were three groups of 4 on one hole at one point. Staff was nice people were nice but would never play again because the pace of play and lack of movement of those people who were slowing the whole course down. Only got through 16 holes before we had to leave for another commitment because the pace of play what so bad

Beautiful scenery, good course, OK staff

Absolutely spectacular scenery with red rock outcroppings and hills framing many of the holes. The course is challenging and generally well maintained. My only minor complaints were the pro shop staff, inefficient, overly controlling and not very accommodating. Also the beverage cart charges nearly $10 for a can of beer, so beware.

Brrr.....

We got a hot deal on GolfNow and we're able to play as a two some. The tempature at tee off was 20° but felt like 5° due to windchill. Still had a great time and the course was in exceptional condition, especially for having already been winterized. The greens were frozen and hard by pitted rather slowly for arrowhead. It's still one of the most scenic courses in Colorado.
