Had the first time out this morning with my son in law and grandaughter. She is heading to her first year at college next week and was told she can try out for the golf team. So we needed to get in some practice.

No problem with POP and no one was on our tail so the lessons and practice time went off w/o a hitch.

Course was a little wet from overnight watering due to the extreme heat we have had here lately but that was the only negative.

We had good tee boxes. Clean fairways with good lies and roll out.

Traps were all clean and playable. Rough was damp but not deep so no issues.

Greens were soft and a tad slow but they were devoid of divots and chipped/putted with good speed for all of us.

Today reminded me of the many times I had with my Dad and uncles on the golf course. Always fun to play with young family members who love the game and pass on the fundamentals and enjoyment of golf with them.

And no she did not beat her grandfather. Not yet anyways.

UPDATE: played 8/06/2026, 6 weeks after reopener.
Fairways, rough and tee box areas are in good shape. Thin for the summer, fairways cut close. New redone green side bunkers are decent, now with thick, soft sand. Fairway bunkers are firm dirt, not much sand.
Prior to the course closure, greens were a disaster. Today, 6 weeks after course reopening, a bit better. On scale ... » More

Prior to the course closure, greens were a disaster. Today, 6 weeks after course reopening, a bit better. On scale of 1-10, I rated a 6, playing partner rated 6.5 maybe 7, comparing greens to a year ago. In our honest opinion, greens need another 3 weeks, and maybe, if they water, fertilize what's in place on greens. Many thin spots, bare spots and machinery track cuts into the green surface. The greens may never get back to what they were the past 11 years. A far cry from the green conditions at nearby The Crossings-Carlsbad or even Golf Club of California-Bonsall. Hell, the green surfaces at Oceanside Municipal are in better condition, rolling then Arrowood currently. At least pro shop staff and starter give you fair warning about the green conditions. What a downfall for the Arrowood GC....sad.

Played 8/5/26 4 PM. POP 3.5. Course is in really great shape for this time of year. Typically the fairways are slightly burnt and painted over. But right now they are mostly green and lush with great coverage. Firm underneath, but playing well. Greens were in great shape. Receptive and rolled well at a medium pace. Tees pretty beat up.

Traps in decent shape with the new sand in most. Temps very manageable in the twilight. Easy recommend!

Sr $34 day is here again.

Course in good shape.

Tee boxes all playable.

Fairways nice and wide with good coverage and good lies and roll.


Traps clean and playable.

Rough is heavy and of course vineyards, creeks, water and OB come into play.

Greens very playable and not overly firm with being watered so putting was good all round.

Great venue and location great staff as well.

The T)C Harding Park course was completely closed yesterday. Both greens and tee boxes were seeing seasonal aeration. The Fleming 9 is scheduled for seasonal treatments in two weeks. I think some tree work was also being done on the property.
