Played today in a great POP of 3 H. After seeing the first 4 holes I thought it would be longer LOL

Heat wave has broken and we had a nice cool morning with warming temps on the back 9.

I have not played here in about 40 years so it was like playing for the first time. Except one cannot forget a Par 6 hole which is still there.

Played today in a great POP of 3 H. After seeing the first 4 holes I thought it would be longer LOL

Heat wave has broken and we had a nice cool morning with warming temps on the back 9.

I have not played here in about 40 years so it was like playing for the first time. Except one cannot forget a Par 6 hole which is still there.

And I give praise to anyone who can walk this place. I believe I played only one flat hole #12 that was not up down and over like this place. Local knowledge is key here and glad my partners knew this course.

We used a Golf Moose voucher so the round cost us $31.50 a piece with cart. Great deal.

Check in was great and friendly by the staff.

Tee boxes were playable but many could use leveling.

Fairways had good coverage (not all of them) but they provided decent roll out and lies the whole round.

Traps? There aren't any. But seriously I cannot even remember a bunker on 98% of the holes around the greens other than a few fairway ones that really did not come into play.

But who needs traps when there are enough ups/downs like a roller coaster and a course with OB lining every hole that if you went in they would not find you + the eucalyptis trees covering the course. Just be straight with your driver if you can.

Greens are in great shape and they are small and with the many elevations of the holes coming up short can be an issue with chipping as they are fast. They also have lots of unseen levels when putting that can drive one crazy.

And then you have two holes #9 and #18 that are unique as any holes you might come across. #9 a Par 3 (175 B 141 W) is downhill by at least 175 yards very small green surrounded by heavy rough and trees. Making par (I did) is not easy.

#18 is a Par 5 (667 B 649 W) all downhill OB on both sides of the fairway all downhill lies or uphill lies the entire way and uphill to a small green when you reach about 100 yards to the green above you. Not an easy hole to par (I did) by any means.

I thoroughly enjoyed playing here as it is as different as night/day to so many courses one can play in N and S CA. Highly recommended for anyone regardless of skill just to experience such a dramatically different layout of a course.

And there is a nice little Par 3 course on property as well.

+ Beautiful views of the bay area of from many of the holes on the course.

Played Arrowood early on 10/7. Greens are back to very good condition, a bit firmer than I remember them being before. Upcoming aeration should soften them some.

The rest of the course is in really good shape for late summer. Fairways good, rough can be spotty.

The only problem spots I really noticed was on the apron of several greens, the grass was very if... » More

The only problem spots I really noticed was on the apron of several greens, the grass was very iffy. Maybe those areas will get hit with aeration too.

Put Arrowood back on your must play lists.

Played this AM as first off. Nice POP in 3 H.

Great course inside the vineyards of Napa Valley with no houses and 6 Par 3's and 6 Par 5's. Par 72 with lots of scoring possibilities.

Great course inside the vineyards of Napa Valley with no houses and 6 Par 3's and 6 Par 5's. Par 72 with lots of scoring possibilities.

Tees all clean and playable all round.

Fairways clean, good rollout lies all round.

Rough was 3/4 " and damp at start and a few holes have culverts, creeks along the fairways and around the greens to cause trouble.

Traps were bad at first due to over watering from overnight and were mud not dirt and some dried out later. In one but not playable to muddy.

Greens are big and designed in many different shapes with undulations and uphill and downhill slopes. Quite challenging.

Great service in the shop. And good food in the restaurant.

Great course right off Hwy 12 going into Napa and next door to Eagle Vines. Two great courses for a golf trip to Napa.

Walked the blacks as a single yesterday monday 10/5/26 afternoon joing a friendly two ball and single with POP around 4 hours 45 minutes following a corporate tournament event the course had yesterday. As I looked around I was the only one walking. Weather was low 80s with a nice 10mph breeze cooling the temps down mid round for us...basically perfect scoring golf weather. Met by friendly staff in the shop and used their all grass range for small bucket just before tee off.

Greens were in great shape rolling an 11 on the stimp. Holding approach shots nicely and really checking up on uphill chips. Just a smooth pure roll here as usual. Stay below the hole on some of their massive green complexes. Enough potato chip swales here where u really need to negotiate speed and line well or u can get humbled here quickly on the greens. Rated 9/10

The tees were very lush and some of the tips had unlevel stances on some of the holes(6 comes to mind). Rated 7/10

Was not in any bunkers but the ones I walked by had muddy/brownish sand that looked damp and wet.

Rough was really mowed down to playable length just off the fairways. Mostly green and lush. Had a great striking day so stayed inside the cartpaths all day. Did notice that they have completely cut down the native areas left of 13, left of 14, between 15/16 and right of 17 Im assuming for POP. Rough rating 7/10

The fairways had many unrepaired sections of grass that were bare, muddy or super thin...hole 14 middle of the fairway comes to mind. Was in 12/14 fairways and this was the poorest Ive seen tbe fairways. Hopefully with some winter rains and the grounds crews working on those areas they will be back to normal soon. Rated 5.5/10

Love the layout here and putting these challenging greens. Throw in the Ocean views and I can see why its a favorite of mine and many others.

Course in tremendous shape overall considering it will be closed for over seeding next week. POP excellent with most snow birds not here yet. Temps in the 90-95 range this time of year in the afternoons is pretty pleasant w/o humidity most days. Rough areas getting overspray from the green/fairways are lush/deep. Too deep. I can no longer play out of 3" Bermuda rough close to g... » More

Course in tremendous shape overall considering it will be closed for over seeding next week. POP excellent with most snow birds not here yet. Temps in the 90-95 range this time of year in the afternoons is pretty pleasant w/o humidity most days. Rough areas getting overspray from the green/fairways are lush/deep. Too deep. I can no longer play out of 3" Bermuda rough close to greens and fairways where you can see nothing but the top of your ball. Cannot wait for these areas to be scalped for overseeding! Fairways and tees mostly lush and well maintained. Sand traps almost always nicely maintained here. Greens are currently outstanding. Medium quick and very smooth. Downhill putts can be almost impossible on some hole locations. So you need to plan and execute your approaches, chips and even first putts accordingly. Range and practice greens both upper level quality wise. Nice GPS on carts. Restaurant good for a golf course with a decent selection. Highly recommended.
