First time

First time Arrowhead and I really liked the layout. The course is tough. Condition for time of year was good(end of Feb) Staff was excellent from the girl who brought a cart to my car to the girl checking me in. Outstanding!. A gentleman greeted me at the end of my round and asked for feedback. Stall was excellent

So much potential

I keep hoping they can sort out the tee and trap conditions. I get it that traps are a manpower vacuum, so, get rid of all except those needed green side.

Front side took 2 hrs 40 minutes, back was a little better but round still took just under 5 hours. I enjoy the company of my playing partners, but a 5 hour round is frustrating.

The restaurant graciously found us a table, though the dining room was virtually sold out. One of my playing partners is a bit of a food "snob", but RAVED over his order of fried oysters.

GA’s Best Hidden Gem

Wow. This is my second time here and it is now one of my favorites in the state. It is such a beautiful, challenging course with insane Mountain Views on a lot of the holes. You can hear a pin drop on the front nine. The conditions are great, especially for winter. Plus, to top it off, I never see anyone here and it’s 30 - 40 bucks to play. Everyone should go play here.

Didnt even finish the round; Wasnt worth the drive

Basics:

New to this site, but im an average golfer and dont mind an occassional breakfast ball if there isnt anyone behind me.

My tee time: 3:10pm

I would say that this course is arguably one of the slowest paces of play I have ever seen. From the conditions of the fareways, unrepared divots, and the patchy greens (Hole 13s might as well have a bunker 6 feet inside the front of the green).

Staff was friendly to start but non-existent on the course and the cart girl carries very limited amounts and brands.

Course Layout was wierd and the carts could barely make it up the paths in some areas due to lack of concrete, broken concrete, or unnessasary incline.

I was a solo golfer so my pace is different from a foursome and through the first 3 holes the one group ahead of me allowed me to play through. Nice guys.

On hole 5 I joined in on a foursome (their tee was at 2:30pm) for some guys that offered since they had only 3. For the rest of the front 9, we had amazing pace and were able to relax through it.

On hole 9 is when we caught up to the group in front of us, and to say they were slow was an understatement. We were the 2nd group stuck behind them. Staff was called due to their lack of willingness to let other groups play through and their unwillingness to pick up the pace instead of taking multiple shots at each hole position.

I unfortunately didnt even finish my round and stopped at hole 13, still stuck behind the same group. That was at 7pm.

When I arrived at the clubhouse to again let them know of the slow up, i found all of the staff to be missing. There was nobody at the cart return, clubhouse or pro-shop.

Will not be back.

Beautiful and challenging

Great course. Though quite remote. Punishing uneven lies if you don’t know the course or have poor accuracy like me.. massive elevation changes make club selection challenging. Add a little bit of wind and blamo your OB. Quite a wake up call for me since I’ve been playing in Florida this past year. Loved it will for sure play again.
