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

Great layout and value for the money

One of my personal favorites. It’s a drive to get to, but it’s worth it.

Great course

A little bit out in the sticks but a very nice course in terms of the layout of the holes and the condition of the tee boxes, fairways and greens.

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!
