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 little course
Nice par 3 course with excellent greens and the most helpful and friendly pro shop staff I have ever experienced.
Quality Par 3
This course is a challenging par 3. Has several elevation changes that make the hole difficult to tuck in a shot. Pace of play is sometimes slow but the course does offer carts. Personally it's faster to walk. The greens are in pretty good condition considering a par 3 course, it would help if the armatures out there would fix their divots.
Best bang for the buck
Best ten dollars spent! Great short game workout. I would highly recommend this course.
Beautiful
Enjoy playing this course. Many hills and well maintained. Can't wait to go again.
beautiful views
Easy Course Great For Beginners, Well Maintained For A Park District.
Great course, great value
Great course to learn the game, longest hole is about 150 but challenging .
9 hole course
We like this course. I am new to golf and it is a great place to play for me. My husband likes it because it is a great place to practice your mid to short range game. It is a good price and we had a fun time playing golf!
Beautiful course
This 9 hole par three is beautiful, and easy to fall in love with. An enjoyable experience. I intend to return next week!

perfect
Wanted to get out but rain was due within a few hours $5 to play 9 perfect . Never played this course or even new it existed perfect to work on short game 3 clubs and a putter is all you need. Greens where very slow, a very hilly course this was the hill that Walter Payton trained on. in all perfect course for younger golfers or any one wanting to work on the short game much better than going to the driving range,
good for short iron pratice course
For senior and women player it is nice course for walking. And just enjoying . But beginner and not advanced player it is somewhat togh enough. But advanced and above average golfers it is wonderful course for short and weddge iron shot sharpening. Price better than range around here. For me good enough.
One staff was rude and racist
The course was very short, all 3 pars, and one of the staffs was rude and racist. I will never go there anymore.
