Greens are still in disrepair and essentially not playable. Efforts to bring them back are admirable. But, they still have dirt spots, sand, are bumpy and where there is grass run slow because they can't be cut or rolled. Yet they are still charging full price for the rounds unless one buys a Palm Card where the rates are better. However, given condition of the greens it's not even worth the discounted Palm Card rate. What's most troubling is the arrogance of management who seems to think they are the only course in North County San Diego. Hopefully the greens will come back by the fall but until then, many other quality courses where management appreciates the business to play.

Played Arrowood on June 26th, the day they re-opened. The greens are still not ready for prime time and need at least another month to be ready. Currently, they are not able to mow the greens so they are slow and there are quite a few bare spots and sand on the greens. I was surprised at how many bare spots there were on the fairways given that they were closed for so long, I thought that the fairways were be like carpet but alas they were not. Granted, the fairways were in good shape just not great. Bunkers were good and pace of play was solid...finished in 4 hr and 15 minutes for a Friday afternoon which I will take anyday.

Arrowood is one of my favorite courses in San Diego but I won't be back for awhile...hard to pay $100 for greens in the shape that they are in, it's just not worth it.

Arrowood Golf Course re-opening update: 6/26/2026
The greens, all 18, are still recovering from a disaster spring maintenance. All greens have sandy, bare spots, putting surface like putting over gravel and very bumpy. IMHO, the greens need at least 4-8 weeks more to recover to within 80% of what condition they were prior to spring maintenance. Word from the pro shop, GreenSuper, is a defective weed killer was applied, it basically killed the once beautiful po annua/bermuda grass mix...TRAGIC!
Fairways are decent but also recovering. Plus is many bunkers have been redone and are much better sand conditions in the bunkers, greenside and fairway "beach".

Warning to others. Don't waste your money. Adding to other reviews, played on May 6. No mention of greens condition from staff before booking or playing, and they were in atrocious condition. Feel like this was intentional, and dishonest. This should have disclosed prior, with reduced rates offered, at the very least. Unplayable really. Barely a hint of grass on any of the greens, just a strangely colored sand/dirt surface. Stopped keeping score after first green. Worst greens I've seen on any usually good course. After the round, was told 8 weeks max to get the greens back. No way. A year maybe? Come on Arrowood. You screwed up. Come clean.

Major problem with greens which were created 3-4 weeks ago. Something went wrong with their process and the greens are in horrible, almost unplayable condition. I have played the course for years an... Continue »

Major problem with greens which were created 3-4 weeks ago. Something went wrong with their process and the greens are in horrible, almost unplayable condition. I have played the course for years and never seen anything like this. Lots of sand and bumps on the greens. Not going to resolve itself anytime soon. Course should be offering discounted fees but they are not. Red not Green should be used to describe green conditions as of today May 3

Just want to give everyone heads up. Played the course on 05/02. All the greens are in terrible sandy condition, there are almost no grass on greens. Don’t think this issue will be resolved anytime soon. Can’t believe there’s green light turned on for this course, should be red!

played fri 11/21 and sun 11/23. friday rained all night and stopped around 9am, teed off at 11. cart path only, course a little soggy. greens slow and bumpy. Went back sunday where it had time to drain. 4 holes cart path only. Bunkers in decent shape. Greens had been mowed and rolled, I think. Still soft, but a bit faster... about a 10. I last played here maybe 20 yrs ago when they first opened, and I don't remember anything from then. Playing this weekend, I found the course to be fun and challenging... A few challenging driving holes, but mostly big landing areas. Greens big and undulating. The last 4 holes are labelled "The Quandary" and it's definitely the most challenging holes on the course, and most interesting as well. Course in decent shape considering all of the rain that's been happening. I could play here everyday... fun course.

Played Monday, July 7. Teetime 1:40pm. Greenfee $70 with cart. Good value I guess for this day and age.

Service was all fantastic. The main restaurant was closed for some reason, but they have an extended snack bar, beverage area by the awesome driving range now. Beverage cart was out and about, as well.

POP was excellent, under 4.5hrs.

Conditions were good for the most part, but not excellent. They're doing some work on the rough, like a verticut, in some places. Fairways were good, but there were some patches that were a little suspect and not in very good shape. Greens were all good, but once again not quite excellent. Some of them released shots a little more than expected, but if you came in with a short iron and hit it high enough with some spin it would check up, no problem. Sand was too fluffy in most of the bunkers. I found one bunker and it was fine, but most others had way too fluffy sand. My playing partners all had a fried egg at some point in the round. Tee boxes were level, no complaints.

Wish we arrived earlier to enjoy the "newer" range amenities. There's a great patio out there now and as mentioned previously a new bar area. Definitely recommend. The layout is awesome apart from hole 5, that's a stupid hole IMO. Just hit a 7 or 8 iron over the fairway bunker off the tee from now on, I'm done going for that green with a 3 wood as the fairway slopes so drastically away from the green towards the hazard on the right, it's not worth it.

Played Arrowood on 6/17/25. This course is almost always in great condition, and I must say I have never seen it better than today. Just outstanding all around. Greens were also being rolled as I played, so the speed was tough to figure. I am sure tomorrow greens will be at full speed.

The only curiosity was the return of the greenside bunker on #14. It used to be there, then it was removed and turned into a deep grass bunker. And now it has been rebuilt to a sand trap again. It was still roped off as ground under repair, but it looks like it will be ready for action any day now.

As always, the staff is top notch.

A great bargain with the Palm Card, but well worth it at rack rates (can't say that about many courses these days).

Higest recommendation! I'm even going with four exclamation points and a smiley !!!! :)
