There are a lot of adjectives to describe Arrowhead's layout - fun, exciting, challenging, mischievious, sinister, quaint, but never boring!
Although Arrowhead has conquered many unsuspecting golfers who brush it off at first glance, it is accessible for skill levels of all kinds and for golfers who play the game not only with their clubs but their mind as well. In order to score well, you'll need to know when to put the driver away and you'll be required to be precise with your approach shot to reach the greens in regulation. If you're willing to do that, the course will reward you with ample opportunity to score well.
We host many golf events that allow Arrowhead to stand out among its peers.
Arrowhead is the home to the Arrowhead Tour Championship (The ATC), a series of events unlike anything you have experienced. Arrowhead is also home of two of the Grand Rapids Area's longest running and most successful course sponsored fund raisers, The J-Dawg Open, and The Hope for My Sister Golf Benefit for Cystic Fibrosis. In addition, Arrowhead's Weekly Scrambles such as The Wednesday Scramble, The Tuesday Night Ladies Scramble and The Friday Night Couples Scramble are a must for any golfer looking for a great time out on the course.
Arrowhead has also become a go-to course when it comes to golf outings in the Grand Rapids Area.
A staff dedicated to making the golf outing planner's job as easy as possible is a big reason why over 70 golf outings choose Arrowhead over the 37 other golf courses in the Grand Rapids Area each season.
Arrowhead truly offers something for everyone, as it boasts one of the largest and best Junior Programs in all of Grand Rapids.
The course hosts a Junior League and Teen League, which each summer has offered over 120 junior golfers the opportunity to grow a love for the game.
