Arrowhead Golf Course



About this course
The Red/White combination at Arrowhead Golf Course in Douglassville, Pennsylvania, represents one of three eighteen-hole pairings available at this twenty-seven-hole facility designed by John McClean. Located in Berks County roughly forty miles northwest of Philadelphia, the course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of southeastern Pennsylvania's piedmont region, where elevation changes and natural contours shape the playing experience. McClean's design work at Arrowhead reflects a straightforward approach to public golf, routing holes through a landscape of mature trees and moderate topography. The Red and White nines combine to offer variety in hole length and shot requirements, with doglegs, elevated greens, and strategic bunkering that rewards course management over pure distance. The property's natural features—including streams and wooded areas—come into play on several holes, adding both visual definition and strategic interest to the layout. As a twenty-seven-hole facility, Arrowhead serves a broad range of golfers in the greater Reading area, functioning as an accessible daily-fee option for both local players and visitors. The multiple nine-hole configurations allow for flexible play and help accommodate higher volumes of rounds during peak seasons. The course maintains a reputation as a solid test of golf within the region's competitive public golf market, offering reasonable conditioning and a layout that demands accuracy and thoughtful club selection throughout the round.
