West/East at Arrowhead Golf Club
About
Arrowhead Golf Club in Wheaton offers 27 holes of championship golf. The entire course features water on 17 holes and 77 strategically placed bunkers. The course is divided into three nine-hole courses that can be played in different 18-hole combinations. The club opened in 1927 but two of the golf courses, South and East, were renovated in 2011, followed by the West nine a year after. The golf courses are all equally challenging but they each have a unique character. The West/East Course starts with the shortest nine but it also has one of the most intimidating water holes, the par-3 seventh, which has a green that is almost entirely surrounded by water. With such a challenging variety of courses, it is not hard to imagine why Arrowhead G.C. is considered one of the best municipal golf courses in the Chicago area.

Golfer Reviews
Great track but terribly slow
It could have just been the group in front of us but we played a 3 hour 9 hole on the west course. Very much enjoyed the layout but the pace of play ruined the round.
Great Course
Good pace of play, great condition. Very underrated
Great course for a very reasonable price.
Course was in excellent shape and the holes and greens are fairly challenging. Very enjoyable.
Horrible pace
The round took more than 5 hours. There was an outing in front of us and the ranger was nowhere to be found. It was so frustrating to play in 5:15. No thanks.
great course
Great course. They are redoing the driving range, so that is closed - which was a bummer. It also forced the changing of the routing, so it was a bit tougher walk at times.
Not ready
Using holes from their south course and from their east course was extremely confusing. Cart was not able to give us proper distances. Green fees too expensive for such conditions.
Good not great
The course which is typically in great shape was somewhat beat up. The tees were in bad shape and greens unusually slow. Play here a lot love the layout but maybe just end of season maintenance needed?
Great Golf
My first time at Arrowhead and it is very impressive! Course was in great shape even after lots of rain. We were able to get a tee time the day before and were neither held up or pushed during the round. Beautiful layout with rolling fairways and perfect greens. Very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend!
