Arrowhead Golf Course

What Arrowhead Golf Course does

Arrowhead Golf Course is a privately held, public 18-hole golf course founded in 1963 and located at 2170 Alden Nash NE in Lowell, Michigan, just outside Grand Rapids. The facility serves individual golfers, families, corporate groups, and charity organizations through direct-to-consumer channels — 24/7 online tee-time booking, phone reservations, and walk-ins — with extended operating hours of 7am–9pm seven days a week. Its product set spans green fees and cart rentals, Signature Memberships, recurring leagues (approximately 400 players across Adult, Couples, Ladies, Junior, Senior, Tween, and Young Adult formats), tournaments and outings for groups up to 144 golfers, charity fundraisers, and a Birthday Club loyalty program offering a free round annually.

The business operates a small multi-facility portfolio under common ownership: the core Arrowhead course, The Golf Loft (a technology-enabled training facility using the third-party Inrange launch monitor system, sold via $200 punch passes), and Morrison Lake Golf Club (a sister course integrated into a shared AGC X MLGC Tour tournament series). Golf instruction is delivered through a partnership with Operation36Golf, and the company produces its own 'Straight Outta the Cart Barn' podcast covering all three properties. Revenue streams are a mix of one-time green fees and tournament entry fees ($35–$60/player), recurring league and membership payments, professional services (lessons and fundraiser hosting), and merchandise/gift cards sold through a Square-powered online store. The owner/GM is Josh Bruwer, the company has no disclosed institutional funding or parent company, and a regulatory fire incident referenced in third-party news pertains to a different Arrowhead facility in Erie County rather than the Lowell, MI operation.
