Arrowood at Arrowood Golf Club

Arrowood Golf Club sits in Oceanside, a coastal city in northern San Diego County known for its temperate climate and proximity to both the Pacific Ocean and inland hills. Designed by Ted Robinson Jr. and opened in the late 1990s, the course reflects the Robinson family's characteristic approach to Southern California golf design, which often incorporates water features, strategic bunkering, and landscaping that frames holes within residential or resort settings. The Robinson design lineage, extending from Ted Robinson Sr. through his son, is recognized throughout California for courses that balance playability with visual interest.

The routing at Arrowood takes advantage of the gently rolling terrain typical of this part of North County San Diego, where coastal mesas transition into valleys. Water comes into play on several holes, a signature element in Robinson Jr.'s work, requiring golfers to manage risk and club selection carefully. The layout accommodates a range of skill levels, with multiple tee boxes allowing for varied yardages and strategic options. Bunkering is positioned to define landing areas and guard greens, while the conditioning and turf quality reflect the region's favorable growing conditions.

Arrowood serves as a daily-fee facility, providing public access to golf in a region with a strong recreational golf culture. The course appeals to both local players and visitors exploring the San Diego area's diverse golf offerings, fitting into a broader landscape that includes both historic designs and modern layouts across the county's varied topography.
