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.

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.

"Twilight Rates start at noon"

So we teed off at 1:20 and by 4:00 we were done with 9 holes. Not a bad pace of play but not great.
Went to the starter to see if we could get a raincheck for the back 9 as we didnt have time to go any further and it was close to dusk anyway, so we thought we'd play the back nine another day.

We were informed that "Twilight Rates start at noon" because of the location of the course in the valley where it gets darker sooner.

Ive attached a screenshot of the online tee times system and looked pretty thoroughly at their website and couldn't seem to locate anything that said twilight starts at noon.

Very disappointed. Will not play here again. I much prefer Bear Dance for service and value

Beautiful course, worth a round at least once, don't worry about your score

This is a course I've wanted to play for too long. Finally an off season rate, beautiful weather, and a free day and it happened. The setting is gorgeous with the Fountain formation sandstone. Sure, you can't warn up your driver, woods, or hybrids, but that's evident in the reviews here. Elevated tee boxes add to the experience. Only 6600y, it's not long enough to avoid the back tees. #4 may prove tricky for those with limited ability to fly the approach. Don't play a yellow ball on #10 and hit down the right side. Your ball will camo among the range balls. #13 & 14 are cool. water is closer you think OB #18. Some blind shots leave you concerned not to hit into the party ahead. Some tee boxes are uneven & furry which may affect your shots. Played in <4h with others enjoying the views. Enjoy the round, don't fret the score!

Stunning views. Slow play

Second time playing Arrowhead. Absolutely love this course. Early tee times were poorly managed resulting in a 5+ hour round. Really put a damper on the experience.

Windy summer weather at Arrowhead

This is a must play course. The rock formations have you thinking you're near the Flatirons of Boulder and Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. You certainly don't experience this in the Midwest.
The back nine is very memorable. Pace of play could have been better, but taking in all the natural beauty is worth it.

Unbelievably slow play this time

I travel 1500 miles to play this course every year for four years straight. This last experience was absolute misery. The course allowed a company best ball tournament on the weekend. I am all for a group of non-golfers (and I mean NON-Golfers) getting out and experiencing the game however, the course should have let people booking behind this group know they should expect a 7 hour round. I inquired about tournament rules and teams were supposed to pick up at double bogey. We had to endure watching the foursomes ahead take shot after shot after shot into water, woods and wherever. The marshals did little to speed the groups up even after we called the clubhouse. They did little to ensure the group of drinkers (I mean golfers) adheard to the rules. Top it off with zero golf etiquette (yelling, screaming, driving erratically and 8 shots off each tee box). I love this course and have been looking forward to playing it for a year. These types of tournaments should never be allowed on a weekend nor should the course EVER book tee times behind such an event! The most disappointing part is not one single person from the staff ever offer to provide a voucher, partial refund or anything to show they cared. To travel so far and Pay $165 for a round to be miserable due to VERY SLOW play I would have expected and still do expect the course manager to apologize and offer a deep discount to encourage my return as well as me recommending this course to my many clients and friends whom travel to Denver.

Stunning settings, excellent course conditions

Played this course for the first time with wife, son and daughter in law. Son was married here 5 years past.
Greens are fast, very well kept, and typical challenging mountain twists and turns. Fairways excellent.
First cut rough a ball and club eater. I never have understood why some courses feel the need to make their first cut rough so deep. Difficult to find your ball, use one or two clubs more just to get the club through the thick and heavy grass.
Unfortunately, whenw e arrived we were informed that the driving range was closed (11AM tee time) as Arrowhead had booked 3 weddings for the day and they needed the driving range for one of the weddings. As an apology, they were giving each golfer ONE drink ticket. In addition, the grill was closed until 5PM, also due to the weddings.
My take, if the golf course is going to take away a portion of the golfing experience (some of us need to warm up) and not tell the golfers in advance, one drink ticket is a poor effort at Customer Service. Should have reduced the $149 greens fee by at least 10%. Felt like the Accounting department was running Sales and Marketing. Other than this, fine course, great staff, maybe rethink whether the increased wedding revenue is worth leaving their golf customers feeling second class

Great views, tricky greens

Excellent course with phenomenal views. The best I've ever seen playing golf. Greens on the front nine slope a lot. Easy to lose balls, so bring plenty of ammo. And pace was a little slow on the front. But a wonderful course.

Expensive, Challenging, Beautiful Views

The course itself was in good condition, but I wouldn't call it excellent. There was a lot of ground under repair and areas that weren't great. The greens were nice but not fast. Overall, I'd say I've played nicer courses for the kind of money they charge. But, playing in the red granite peaks was very cool for a Midwesterner. The views were beautiful and they had some very challenging holes where you have to play around/over the granite.

Greens were pitiful fairways and Teeboxes shaggy at least an inch to inch and half long

I was told they plug the greens six weeks ago and they're still pitiful on the back nine I didn't even bother putting any more waste of time
Fairways and tee boxes were very shaggy teeboxes were so long you could literally put a long tee in the ground and your ball was barely above the grass
This course has a long way to go to be worth $120 green fees that they command
Only Plus this course has right now is a scenic values second to none
