Arrowhead Golf Course is a Gary Roger Baird designed 18-hole course skillfully sculpted from forested hills and dramatic rock formations along the winding Little River. Man and nature are in perfect harmony as the course makes it way through the natural beauty of the area. Arrowhead looks as though it was always meant to be here. Each hole has been laid out to emphasize the natural beauty and layout of the land.

One of the most picturesque holes you’ll play anywhere. An elevated teeing ground 100 ft. above the first cut of fairway provides you with a panorama of scenery not equaled any place else in Florida. The fairway is relatively open but guarded by forest on the left and right. A good tee shot will leave you no more than 125 yards to a green guarded by a spring. The practice facility will enable you to work on all aspects of your game before a round or just fine-tuning your game. Hone your putting stroke on a one-third acre of putting surface. You’ll be knocking the pin down after practicing your iron play on the elevated practice tee that overlooks targeted pins placed strategically throughout the area.
