Arrowhead Golf Course

We head back out West with today’s feature: $12 for 18 holes with a cart at Arrowhead Golf Course in Lowell near Grand Rapids ($32 Value).

Since opening in 1963, Arrowhead Golf Course has been a haven for golfers of all skill levels who enjoy a great course at a great value. Nestled in the hills of Lowell, Michigan, the course is minutes from Grand Rapids and miles away from boredom, stress and troubles. Playing 6,262 yards from the back tees and 3,803 yards from the forward tees, this par-72 can challenge the best golfers without intimidating the novices.

Arrowhead Golf Club gives you plenty of opportunities to make birdies right away, starting on the par-4 second hole. Playing only 302 yards, the tee allows you to pull out the big stick and give it a lashing. Longer players will have just a short pitch in to an inviting green that will start the round off right. Don’t take this opportunity for granted because you'll be tested on the very next hole. The third hole will test your abilities with a demanding tee shot that that will end up in the woods if not executed properly. Your approach will be much longer than on the last hole, made even more difficult by an elevated green and a lurking rock quarry. This pattern of give-and-take continues throughout the entire round but the consequences can be limited for those who think before they swing.

Arrowhead Golf Club has long been a favorite of leagues and outings, and even hosts some of very interesting house tournaments. Leagues come in all shapes and sizes and Arrowhead Golf Club is sure to have one that’s a perfect fit for you: They’ve got men’s, women’s, mixed, and even junior and teen leagues available throughout the week. Arrowhead Golf Club also boasts an excellent setup for outings, from the course’s non-threatening layout to the terrific level of customer service provided by the staff, all at a very competitive price point. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of Arrowhead Golf Course is its unique house tournaments. If you’re looking for a truly feel-good day on the green, take a look at the Spring and Fall Big-Hole Tournaments, where you won’t (shouldn’t!) have a problem putting with 8-inch holes. And mark your calendar for next year’s Glow Ball Open, where you’ll tee off on your first nine as evening settles in, enjoy dinner with your friends at the turn and finish your round in the dark. Arrowhead Golf Club puts a lot of effort into these events to ensure that their guests have a fun, relaxing experience that keeps them coming back for more.
