I played Arrowood in Oceanside, CA, three times in the months of June and July, 2021. Course conditions were consistently very good across all three rounds. I had played Arrowood about a dozen times before these three rounds over a period of 20 years, the course has been very consistent in all this time.

First impressions when you arrive is a very friendly staff and and brand new carts with GPS (now with Bluetooth course guide). Here's the only negative to the whole course, mats only driving range (I hate mats!). Nice putting and chipping practice areas. Clubhouse and Pro Shop are small, but modern and well-stocked. Excellent grill and pub with a lively buzz.

From the first tee to the last, plenty of tee boxes, level and lush with excellent viewing of the fairways. Five different tees: Black, Silver, Blue, Ladies and Seniors, the card has a suggested mix of Black/Silver tees. Arrowwood is not extremely long at any tee level because the course is so well-defended by difficult greens, close boundaries,large bunkers and good number of difficult water hazards.

Fairways are lush and wide with well-placed bunkers that eat up poorly aimed tee shots. I feel some of these are too penal, with many deep faces that force explosion shots that must be played sideways or backwards, best to stay out of them altogether! There are a few very difficult water hazards, especially on 16 and 18 holes that can wreak havoc with end of your round.

The course itself has varied elevations with most greens in well designed green complexes that keep approach shots within the large areas. Lots of walking from your cart to the putting surfaces and very large bunkers. Sand traps are well-maintained with a nice sand quality and plenty of it without pebbles. Arrowwood suffers the same fate of most golf courses in America, the lazy golfer who refuses to clean up after themselves. Nowhere is this more evident than on the greens. Moderate scarring from unfixed ball marks is to be found on every green here. The greens are mown closely, the speed is medium/fast, but this only accentuates the bumps in otherwise beautiful surfaces. Please fix your ball mark and two others!

I'm an afternoon player, pace was slightly behind 4.5 hours, not sure of earlier pace of play. I often play as a single and I've always been paired with delightful playing partners, I can't stress enough how much I appreciate a golf course for the quality of their patrons. This course is difficult for me to walk, even with a riding cart. I'm a mid-70's scorer when I'm on, my best scores here are 77-low 80's. Having been a long time Torrey Pines member, which I score as a 10, I give Arrowood a solid 8! For the money and excellent weather conditions, I highly recommend that golfers of all levels play Arrowood!
