4/25 easy checkin by friendly welcoming staff on a absolutely perfect SC spring morning. Great POP just under 4 hr. Fairways are pretty firm for lots of roll but do provide some tight lies, ok for most iron shots but challenging at times for the metals. Never ending stuggle to get patrons to fill divots. Rough is cut down but still can limit roll out. Tees level but some are a bit chewed up yet playable. Bunkers mostly filled with deep heavy sand recently groomed. Still suggest at leasgt 2 rakes per bunker as this may encourage their use if foumd in closer proximity to entering said trap.
Greems are fully recovered. Plan is to allow the poa to fully take over. Recemtly the aprons on the perimmeter were no longer mowed so even being a few inches off could results in a lie in the rough. There is a new supervisor who is planning on bringing the aprons back however.
All in all a really nice day in a pleasant setting to play unfortunately bad golf.

4/18 easy 4 hr POP with no real waiting on a very balmy spring morning. New procedure carts are no longer ready at the bag drop and keys are given after check in and carts are not allowed by the range area as there was an accident last week so now there are restrictions. Just a minor inconvenience. Fairways are firm, mostly on the thin side and getting more dried out and less cushin. Rough is cut down but still retards roll. Fairways are once again accumulating unfilled divots.
Tees are level some showing wear however. Bunkers have ample deep heavy sand which requires a full commitment to the shot. Too many uncaring players as every trap had unraked deep footprints.
Greens are almost fully recovered but now with the poa a little slower and some slight bumpiness mostly noticible as the putt slows. Also some unanticipated break the last few inches.
Good layout and friendly staff and with the palm card a reALLY GOOD VALUE.

4/11 easy friendly check in on a balmy spring morning. POP 345 with brief waits on 3 and 10 with a 4some on our heels on 1 and then never saw them again so played without strss in that regard. Fairways are pretty good for the most part with varied grass so diffrent lies all with soft underlying soil--really good for irons and hybrids but a little tight sometimes for the fairway metals. Rough not too long and playable but woulf pretty much stop forward roll.
Tees level with a few pretty thin and some par 3s worn. Bunkers have deep heavy sand whick caused me some grief.
Greens are well on their way to recovery, however it appears that the course has converted to poa so there was more grain and some bumps along the way.

Played Arrowood today teeing off just after 11 with my wife and her parents for their birthdays.
They all played the forward or Green I don’t remember which but nonetheless they were upfront and I played the Silver or Eagle tees which was right around 6300 yards. Check in was simple and range was very busy as well as the Top Tracer area. Anyways we hit a few warm ups and off we went. Tee boxes all level and all in very good condition and fairways were recently mowed and and ball rolled out very good even with plenty of grass in the fairway. My in laws aren’t the most astute golfer’s but they enjoyed themselves and on their birthdays that was all that mattered. Bunkers had nice compacted sand and very easy to play from while the greens had recently been punched they are still a little bumpy right now but in a week or 2 they will be fine. The food is great there as well as the staff. A great time was had by all and the course will be in fantastic shape in a few weeks, definitely recommended.

3/14 on an absolutely wonderful late winter AM with under 4 POP as for whatever reason course was not crowded and we had it almost to ourselves until 14 when we caught 2 rather slow 2somes. Fairways are winter thin mostly tight lies but soft soil so no an issue for irons but challenging at times for fairway metals. Rough cut down and mostly whispy with some longer thicker areas aroiund the greens. Tees level with a few showing some wear and some thin areas. Bunkers were groomed and are filled with a heavy sand that requires full commitment to the shot. There are rakes but on occassion in short supply as one green had only 1 rake for 2 traps. Suggest minimum of 2 per trap which may encourage their use. Greens were great had been cut and rolled so more speedy and mostly smooth. noticed that there is no longer an apron or fringe so there is no transition from green to rough. Check in smooth and easy with multiple ineractions with the friendly staff. Course is closed next Mon and Tues for maintainance.

3/7 842 tee off right on time 420 POP with some waiting on the front 9 and not so much after that. Breezy but nice overall. Easy friendly check in, large putting green with comparable speed to course conditions but not the slopes that are likely encountered. DR from soft mats. Chipping area being punched and sanded with the rest of the course about 2 weeks out.
Fairways are on the thin side but with the softer turf still good for irons and hybrids but often tight for fairway metals. Quite a few divots many un attended especially inside the cart limits. Rough is cut down with some longer areas next to the greens. Bunkers have ample sand and were recently groomed. Some had 1 rake others 3-4.
Tees are level with some being thin to the point of patchy.
Greens are in pretty good shape medium fast and mostly smooth. Quite receptive for well struck approach shots but firm enough to leave some speedy chips. Putting is a chalenge made more so by what appears to be a "volcano" effect at the cup as putts seem to brak both ways at the cup. Reaaly like the use of 6 zones and the varied locations even within those zones providing some tucked pins.
Palm card provides a weekday rate of $50 which is very fair for the quality experience.

2/14 beautiful SC morning 75 or so with an occassional breeze for an ideal nid winter day with 420 POP which seemed slower due to our 3some following a string pf 4somes--besides I for 1 have learned to play bad golf quickly. Conditions overall reflect winter influence along with heavy play. Fairways are thin with areas of marginal coverage giving tight lies good roll and soft enough soil to allow for good strikes with proper execution. That being said there are divots galore with 90 % filled but with recent weather they have not yet healed.
Rough recently mowed to about 1-2 inches through out so really not as penal as sometimes.
Tees level mostly thin with lot of filled divots on the 3s. Bunkers well filled with mostly deep heavy sand which for meposes a challenge--its me not the bunkers.
Greens are tough as pin locations in 1 of 6 zones were often placed in areas of the zone that left little margin for error. Greens were quick but receptive for well struck shots.
Staff members are friendly and welcoming.

1/24 and 1/26 both beautiful SC winter mornings with comfortable POPs of 410. Easy check ins with friendly staff. Fairways are winter dormant faded green and mostly tight lies with some thin areas. Course is getting ample water so underlying turf is soft so pretty good for ironms but more challenging for fw metals. Also due to softer conditions there are a lot of divots with more than 1/2 unfilled especially beyond the cart signs.
Rough is varied with some thicker pockets alonfg fairways generally on the slopes and some really gnarly areas around the greens.
Tees are mostly level with good cover with some divot damage on the par 3s. Bunkers have heavy sand recently groomed and partially raked by previous players. Now that rakes are back it shpould not be that hard to pick one up and take care of your tracks but I guess the same goes for filling divots.
Greens are soft and receptive for full shots and yet quick for most chips and pitches. Players seem to be doing a better job fixing pitch marks as there were very few to repair. Speed today was medium fast--noted as 10 heading to #1. Pins are placed in 6 zones and within these zones there is still ample room to provide additional variety..Putts rolled prety well mostly smooth with just a few slight bumps I think due to their softness. By observation putts seem to wander away from the hole if the pace is intended ti die in. We saw some putts break both ways on similar lines. These subtle breaks or lack there of caused a lot of head shaking.
Very enjoyable rounds on a good lauyout.

1/10 850 tee time off a bit early with POP about 410 with some waiting. Easy check in from friendly staff and in the process of commenting on the rate ($50) with the palm card being reasonable for the quality of the course the helpful staff member commented that GK had named Arrowood best value for 2021 and was very appreciative of the recogition. Fairways were generally ok but more on the thin side and showing the effect of colder temps. Lies were mostly tight but still had good cushion as the underlying soil was damp and soft. Too many unfilled divots which is a shame as quality divot mix is provided. Rough is not very long but is a factor as it impedes forward roll and depending on the lie can cause further consternation. Areas around the greens are particularilly challenging. Most tees are in good shape with the par 3s showing more wear. Bunkers have good sand and were freshly groomed and with rakes provided most were in good shape. Greens are receptive medium fast and tricky with subtle reads as we had a lot of rim shots on what appeared to be well struck putts. Good layout golfer oriented staff quality practice areas and carts with excellent GPS.
