Nickol Knoll Golf Club
About
Ever since opening in the mid '90s, Arlington Heights Golf Club has been considered one of the best par-3 golf courses in Chicagoland. It is certainly one of the most unique with three holes that feature vertical-drop tee shots and two holes with uphill tee shots to the green. Although this nine-hole course is only 1,163 yards the large bentgrass tees and greens provide the feel of a full-length course. The layout has nearly 30 bunkers strategically placed throughout and water comes into play on two holes. From the elevated tees you can enjoy a panoramic view of the area, including stunning vistas of the Chicago skyline. Whether you're a beginner looking to get some practice or a scratch golfer who wants to get in a quick round, Arlington Heights Golf Club is a fun and challenging option.

Nice place
Great for the short game; fun elevation changes made it a little more challenging also great to bring your kids
Fun times 2020
Nice little challenging par 3 course. Second time we played and had a great time. Man in front of us holding everyone up. Standing on green, marking score time, looking in water to find balls, was standing at the for over 5 minutes talking.
Other than that, would return again!
Always a fun time!
The greens are in great shape and for someone looking to learn the game to someone practicing wedges, this is a great course.
Worth the price
When I booked it thru golf now ( hot deals) it said cart included but when I reached the counter at the course I was told it’s not included. They said they don’t know anything about the offer
“Honey, I shrunk the golf course!” Great fun with history!
What do you get when you have an outstanding executive course - that looks like a full sized one, with memories of Walter Payton running the hills behind you? Nickol Knoll Golf Course!
I love I for short game practice and the scenery. My wife loves it because it’s fun for her to learn golf on . I just need to get a fairly regular round for us each weekend on the books!
Great shape
Course is hilly and the greens are fast and undulated.
Very challenging for a par three course. If only I didn't suck the day would have been great.
