My input on Arrowood Golf Course is the new Tee Time system they are using through Golf District. Now at Arrowood you have to use this system to secure your tee times and pay for it all up front. There are NO Refunds. The system allows you to post your tee times for resale if for some reason you need to cancel. This just happened to me, and no one purchased my tee times, so I ate the cost. I will not be golfing at Arrowood again unless of course someone else wants to book and pay for the tee time up front. Apparently, you guys think your course is the cat's meow and you can screw the public. BTW, my cancelation was legit. Had some players coming into SD and their flight got hit by lighting which delayed their arrival. read more

Our family went to the Clubhouse last night to see West of 5 band (which was EXCELLENT!) When we ordered our food 4 of the 7 meals came out and we waited a very long time for the other meals. Finally, we went up to the bar and inquired where the other orders were and the confusion started. The servers assured us the meals were coming shortly. After much more time lapsed, only a partial of one of the meals came out and we called the manager. Sione was wonderful! He went back in the kitchen and immediately took care of the delays. When we went to cash out our tab, we were given the wrong tab (which was double ours)! The server caught it and reversed the original charge but it was all just one big HASSLE! How can they make so many mistakes? Thank God Arrowwood has Sione to micromanage his incompetent staff! Sione, Thank you so much for taking care of us! We give you 6 stars my friend! read more

What an absolute joke of a golf course this has become. played here for years and it was always in great condition and that has nothing to do with this review. we had a 3:10pm twilight tee time, cost $90. At around 5pm we were on the 9th tee box, music was blasting so audibly loud from the restaurant behind the green, 500 yards away. kung fu fighting EDM remix. finished the hole and passed the restaurant, DJ playing for maybe 5-10 people who were seated and just trying to have a conversation. hilarious. played until the 13th hole and that's when the fun began. Two more DJs, this time playing music from the driving range or the flight deck as they call it. We could clearly hear this loud as hell from that tee box until we finished 18. around the 16th hole karaoke night began, and for the last 3 holes we had the pleasure of a one man who killed creep by radiohead, maybe a couple other good ones, and then an absolutely drunk woman yelling on the microphone HIT THE BEAT BEAT BEAT BEAT YUH YUH YUH YUH ONE TWO THREE FO UHH UHH UHH UHH. amazing to listen to while golfing the so called advertised "quandary". i knew this place was going down hill once they did the money grab by putting pickleball courts in the parking lot. and now this lol. Just a terrible excuse of a nice golf course trying to be TopGolf. read more

Arrowood is an absolute gem and great value for money. The golf course can be tough when played from the tips, but it is a fair golf course. Good shots are rewarded and you don't end up with tricky lies if you hit the fairway. The course is right in front of you and if you place your shots you can score well. From the forward tees it is not an intimidating golf course for the novice golfer. The course was in great shape. I would give it a 5 star, but the range was closed. Note that once the construction is done it will, definitely elevate the course. I had lunch at the course and that was good. I can't stress what a hidden gem this course is and is phenomenal value for money. I would play this course again in a heartbeat. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and play this course. I plan to come back and play once all the construction is done. It will absolutely be a 5. read more

Great staff! Challenging course that's always in good shape. Trivia night was a blast too! Love me some Arrowood!

Lovely course but terrible pace of play and they send no marshall around to ensure pace of play. Frustrating because now, in winter, even if you tee off at noon with nearly 5 hours of daylight you still cannot finish. I simply cannot recommend this course given how they neglect to ensure an adequate pace of play. Today, Sunday, wecteed off at noon, we sat on EVERY hole waiting, and are 33 min behind pace after 11 holes which have taken 3.5 hrs already. Too bad-could be great. But not managed appropriately read more

Got the chance to play arrow wood for the first time a few weeks ago and I will say it's a hidden gem . Golf course was in great shape, greens ran true and the service was excellent. Starter was super friendly and inside the pro shop they are all very friendly. They have Top Golf at there driving range which is great. I recommend anyone that is going to play here to get there early and hit some balls and enjoy it all . Worth the price and I will definitely be back. read more

Had a tee-time at 1:12 Arrowood Golf Course Jan 9th 2022, was one of the last group off the course. Left my VoiceCaddie Range finder on cart 16. Called to see if they might have collected for me. They said they did not have it in lost and found. I honestly think someone on their staff kept my 600 dollar range finder. I will not be playing this course as I feel like their staff is dishonest. read more

Arrowood used to be a great golf course when I first played here. The last two times have been pretty brutal. I just played here 2/16/24 and the fairways were in poor condition. The greens are in okay condition. Looks like two different grasses are growing there. Oh the best part is now it is 110 to play here. The course layout is nice but other than that there is better bang for your buck elsewhere. Everything else like the flight deck, food, and range is great. They are setup like top golf and can get all your data for your clubs but the range balls are beat up bad. So pros and cons. I'll leave pics of the course for you to decide. read more

I accidentally booked a Flight Deck "tee time" through GolfNow. There was no mention of this being an hour on their simulator and not an actual tee time when I booked it, other than it listing "no cart included." It was significantly cheaper than other times, but I thought it might be a discounted rate since they aerated greens 3 days ago. The ONLY information about the Flight Deck was after the booking in my confirmation email. I called Arrowood and GolfNow to politely ask for a refund on the prepaid amount and was told it was my fault I booked the wrong thing and I would not be refunded. Being a virtual time, it doesn't affect the course at all to help me out, and is a terrible way to treat costumers. Our group won't be getting their business anymore. read more

Arrowood Golf Course - This is the full checkout page on mobile. No mention of this being a simulator booking, looks the exact same as any other tee time. - Golf Near Me - Oceanside, California

Played here multiple times . I always say never again because of how slow the play is . Slowest pace of play I've ever witnessed . Started at 1:39 and didn't make it to 16th hole before dark . 3 groups on the same tee box . Didn't see a marshel out there once . Finished in the dark at 6:40. That's 5 hour round and we even skipped a group ahead of us. Either tee time are too close together or the course just allows the slowest play imaginable . read more

Great Crouse. Well kept. They don't have a cooler. Bars looks updated and cool. They give you a bucket from the bar as a cooler. We got the bucket deal which was 6 for $20 . Lots of option for food too . Great price. Carts have navigation. Very organized . Everything is in order. Theres a code for the restroom in the course make sure you ask them before teeing off. read more

DON'T Waste your time, find another course. The guys at the pro shop have little man fever and are the rudest I've ever seen. Go to a course that is welcoming, grateful and treat people with respect. They all need a class on customer service. read more

Was here 05/26/2020 while off work for the pandemic and was very impressed by the course. Really well taken care of, and some fun holes. One thing to note, it is walking only and it is not a flat walk by any stretch so get ready for a nice workout. Pace of play was great. read more

Played today and enjoyed the round. Played in just over 4.5 hours. Seemed slower. Walked and was disappointed to learn that price is the same regardless of walking or riding. They don't rent push carts. Very odd and the first I have heard of this at a public course. So carried my bag. read more

Really enjoyed this course! It's a bit challenging as the course is fairly narrow and most holes hook right, so aim left! The staff was friendly and they have club cars driving around to ensure you need anything. There are also bathrooms located throughout the course. The fairways and greens are well-maintained. Definitely going to golf here again. read more

Absolutely love this place. The atmosphere and food are amazing! I had my bday party there and everyone enjoyed. The view and outdoor space was great! I made reservations in advance and it was so good to just be there and celebrate my birthday. Great spot for any occasion. read more

Used to be one of my favorites.. I would drive all the way from San Clemente to play. They no longer seem to have ANY interest in pace of play and my last 3 rounds have been 5 plus hours. Many time have had 3 groups on same hole. Really disappointed and will NOT be back. Its a shame customer service no longer matters to them read more

The course is amazing. It's beautifully kept, and the employees are dedicated and courteous. Recently I signed up for two sessions with Coach Todd. For $50 you get a beer, a burger and instruction from Coach Todd. And for two of my friends who had never really played, Coach Todd had them hitting the balls consistently well. He gave them personal instruction for 2 hours. You can't beat the price, and Coach Todd is amazing. There are a lot of good reasons to play at Arrowood. read more

This track is a gem...except it's horribly overpriced. The clubhouse and bar area are nice. The course is a decent layout. It's a little brown right now, but that's understandable. What really chaps me though, is paying $90 for the weekend rate. That's more than RB Inn, which is more exclusive and is in better condition. Two Bloody Mary's from the cart girl was $22. All in all, I'd play here again at $70. Unless you don't mind a poor value, seek 18 holes elsewhere. read more

Holes are backed up on a Thursday evening. Ridiculous. Starter gets everyone stacked for starting everyone too early

The atmosphere is very family friendly and the flight deck was super cool! The snacks and drinks are very affordable and drink menu was chefs kiss As a resident of arrowwood, it's truly like getting away and a vacation-y type vibe. read more

Management is terrible. They are not welcoming or greeting including GM, assistant managers and Pro-shop employees, pretty much the most of them except the some of the starters. They are cold or don't know how to welcome or greet. They are busy increasing fees, but zero services or loyalty to their players. NO SERICE. Their staffs are loud and busy chatting among them selves and playing their own game. NOT friendly here. They don't care. read more

Played today Friday 12/11 starting at 12:24. Two stars because course is in beautiful shape. Only two as the front nine took 2 hours and 45 minutes to complete. Very poor course management. On each hole we pulled up to find group in front of us teeing off, group in front of them hitting second show and group in front of them on the green. I play a LOT and have never experienced a course playing this slow. Not sure if it was lack of Marshall or poor management. We were started on the 10th. By the 16th I called pro shop complaining about slow play. They promised to send a Marshall out but we never saw one. Do not waste you time or money on this course until they hire some professional management. 12:24 start time and we only got 16 holes before it was full dark. Very disappointed! Yes I asked for a refund and was refused. Skip this place. read more

Booked a Tee Time online for 7:12am, arrived promptly and checked in with the starter. I was to be paired up with a "Men's Group" as they had an opening. I waited near the starters booth and checked in with him frequently for my tee time, and for the threesome I was to join with. When the starter said the 7:21 group should be in the box, I asked what happened with my tee time and group. Apparently the Men's group back filled the open spot, unbeknownst to starter (and apparently Arrowood), and I no longer had a tee time. They gave me the opportunity to wait and possibly tee off later if there was an opening (minimum 1 hour+ wait) or I could play the back 9 right then. I appreciate Don, the starter, attempting to resolve the issue but it was clear he was at the mercy of what the Men's group wanted to do. The golf club needs to establish greater control and organization of the Men's club. People who booked online and paid for their tee time should not be bumped. read more

Made a tee time online, since they aren't taking them over the phone. I was required to pre-pay for the round. 2 days before the round, I email to cancel the tee time, due to plans changing, and I am told that I cannot get a refund on a pre-paid round. In light of all this crap going on on the world, the amount of greed this course is displaying is sickening. They get my $260 for a round I will never play, but they are losing so much more in the long run. I received a response from someone at the course repeating their no refund policy on pre-paid rounds, and that they have "given" me a rain check for the round. Please tell me how I will receive this rain check? And how would I book online with a rain check? You are currently not accepting tee times that are not booked online and any tee times that are booked online MUST be pre-paid. Looking forward to a response. read more

Foursome, 2:30 pm tee time, midweek, mid summer. All single digit HDCP GREAT pace of play. Greens were true. Course is nice. Careful, some reachable par 4's. So the course was in great condition. Some great views of rural SD county. I really enjoyed the par 3's, they were challenging but not overly stupid long. The only negative comment from our group were the elevated greens. A few of the greens are super elevated on the approach, makes for some walking back and forth (it was our first visit and weren't familiar with the undulations). Food at the turn was unexpectedly amazing. Oh Ya... "The Quandary". I was thinking how easy the course was until this happened. Best to just play conservative for these holes and rely on a good approach and 1 putt. read more

This is a very challenging course with lots of elevation changes and several blind shots. They have a program that allows club members free walking golf after 3. These guys are pushing all the time. The greens are heavily damaged with tons of pitch marks. The cart girl showed up on 2, I gave her my card when she told me she'd be working for four more hours. That was the last time I saw her, except on 12, I saw her talking to young guys and then she took several shots on a neighboring fairway. Golf shots, that is. After my round I went to the new bar and waited there while two people waited on their friend. Finally, I asked for my card and my receipt. They gave me my card but couldn't produce a receipt nor tell me how much it was charged. The help seems self absorbed to be sure. Too many nice courses to come back. read more

I've played a lot of golf in the county and play several times a week. Having just moved to Oceanside, I set up a tee time at Arrowood and was quoted $70 for my round online. Upon check-in I was charged $80 ($10 extra for my cart) and I was paired up with three absolute HACKS that were trying to keep up with as many beers as they had lost and dropped balls. After the fifth hole, when they excused me from the group to play ahead because I'm sure was visibly frustrated with the abuse of the course, the pace of play and how all that was affecting MY game after 90 minutes that I decided to leave and take another shot at the core another day. I asked the manager Kate if I could come back at a later time to replay the course and was told once I Teed off on the first hole by money was gone no matter how many holes I played or didn't play. The manager proceeded checked pace of play and informed me that "all groups were 1 min off the pace" I'm sorry but anyone that plays golf understands the pace of play on a Saturday afternoon or even a Wednesday at noon is greatly different than pace of play of the first group out on a Monday morning so she used that phrase to shut me up and not help me. N that doesn't mean that everyone behind our first group wasn't pissed. Just please be aware US AM TOUR 9 handicap read more

Just wanted to put it out there. Ever sense the tracers went in the driving range mats have been closer together. I was practicing one day and I and another person's clubs hit on our back swing and damaged both of our clubs. Another person there said that had happened the week prior as well. I called to complain about how close the mats are together and they did not seem to care and stated they do not take any liability. If you do not want to worry about your clubs be damaged I would say make sure there is not anybody next too you or use another range. read more

Arrowood is one of my favorite courses in all of San Diego. We always have a wonderful time there. This Sunday, we were greeted with live music playing! The Top Tracer Flight Deck is an exciting new addition. The course is challenging and beautiful. The staff is very friendly and I must say, the vibe is not snooty and rude as it can be at some golf clubs. I attribute much of this to the kind and helpful people that are employed here - Mike Duncan is always very outgoing, positive and helpful! I have had great interaction with Will, Mark and Aaron. I have played here many times and will continue to return here time and time again! read more

Played during the covid19 horror. Staff was super helpful and accommodating. They planned out potential issues in advance and prepped accordingly. For the avid golfer... This is easily top 3 courses in San Diego that are reasonably priced. I'm not counting aviara and Maderas. Fantastic layout and well kept. Walked it, but it kicked my butt... loooong. Great practice areas. Seriously, this is a great course. Awesome elevation changes and undulations. Do yourself a favor and play from the next in from tips. read more

Great course and in excellent condition right now. The course can be a bit challenging at times, but it is still a fun course to play. Great staff, and the food isn't bad either. The weather is almost always perfect here. One of my favorite courses to play in San Diego. They now have a code to get into the restrooms throughout the course, so make sure you look for that on your cart or ask the starter before you head out. Best place to get a deal on this course is on Travelzoo, which usually includes beers and range balls in addition to your tee time and cart. Typically it is priced about $65 for two people. Golfnow also has some good prices, which can often include beer and range balls, but you have to be looking for them and their usually after 1 pm. Their price is usually about $80 for two people, so Travelzoo is a better deal when you can find it. I typically buy a couple of the Travelzoo packages, because they last for at least 6 months. read more

Again over a 5 hour round. Beware of purchasing prepaid golf round cards at a discount. Never used card but according to their records the card was used 3 times, leaving only 2 rounds left. No recourse since they have the only records read more

Always in fantastic condition. Layout can be challenging if you make it, but otherwise fairly forgiving for the average golfer. Beautiful holes on the back 9 and overall great views of Oceanside. Fantastic customer service as well. Nice driving range and practice putting greens. read more

$50 off golfnow.com for this course was truly a treat. Wide open on a Sunday afternoon. The only thing that would have made this any better would be if my tee shots weren't ending up in the rough all day. Besides an errant driver this place was a treat for the eye and the golf spirit. Tee boxes were in very good condition and the greens were tough but fair and rolled true. I would like them a little faster based on the hardness but now i'm just nit picking. We'll be back for sure. read more
