This place has some of the best views in the world. In comparison to Whistling Straights or Kiawah, I d say they are better.
The golf course itself is tough. But manageable.
However...
The service is terrible! Every bartender acted like they hated their life. I got two rounds at the inside bar and both times it was miserable.
The starter spent 5 minutes telling us to be on pace. How pace of play was the most important thing. He said nothing about the course.
We had a caddy and decided to walk. The caddy met us at the first tee box. So we had to carry our bags to the range, to the first box. During the round, the caddy huffed and puffed without any direction. Then after the round, (after we gave him the biggest tip of any caddy ever since the clubhouse didn t state a preferred amount) the caddy told us he deserved more money from us.
When I heard about Arcadia, someone called it the poor man s Whistling Straights. That is exactly what it is. I got treated the same as if I was at a pasture field public course in the middle of nowhere from all employees.
If you want to shell out extra cash to hack a ball around to for it. If you are looking for the top experience that other courses provide, this ain t it.
Follow up to this review: Arcadia called me after I posted this. A lot of my problems stemmed from poor communication with the pro shop. The call was greatly appreciate. Such a bad experience when I place has so much potential.
