Ask the Pro: 3 Unique Things About Arrowhead

Many qualities stand out at Arrowhead Country Club, one of the Myrtle Beach golf scene’s most popular and requested designs: challenging doglegs, scenic wildlife, deciduous hard woods, expansive bunkering, and a natural routing to the course, to name just a few.

But when we posed the question to Jake Benton, PGA Head Golf Professional, on what makes Arrowhead truly unique, he offered three additional traits to this Raymond Floyd/Tom Jackon signature design that stand out.

1. Every October Arrowhead overseeds its golf course “wall to wall,” keeping the entirety of the course green year-round. “While this is a big investment, we believe this gives the customer the best playing conditions and visuals,” says Benton. “In the spring when the overseed pops, it is absolutely beautiful.” This bears out in many of Arrowhead’s customer reviews, which consistent laud the layout for its excellent conditioning.

2. As Benton points out, having 27 holes on property provides a unique experience in two ways. “Each year golfers return they may get the opportunity to see a different setup,” Benton explains, adding that the additional benefit of “having 27 holes is also excellent for groups looking to play 27 in one day, getting a fresh look for their replay.”

3. No matter which rotation of nines you play in your 18, your round is sure to include a scenic view of the Intracoastal Waterway. “We are blessed with Waterway views on both the Waterway and Cypress nines,” says Benton, “and they make for beautiful backdrops as you play.”
