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.

Fun short / greens practice
We had never heard of this course, came in with low expectations, and loved it! Great conditions (especially for the cost), relatively quick play — not too crowded and we joined a single ahead of us, and tough enough greens to get some really helpful putting practice. Staff was lovely. Will definitely be back.
Par 3
Well-kept Park district par 3 course. Excellent value for the money with Payton's Hill included.
Great exersize!
You get a great work out if you walk it. $10 more buys a replay. I have played this course twice and so far made 7 new friends. Life is GOOD!
It makes for a nice workout
It is a decent course to keep your golf muscles working. There are no holes that you can use a driver, but the terrain is challenging. No golf carts available. Reasonably priced, and it certainly beats the monotony at the range or walking on a treadmill.
I am coming back soon
What happened to the greens?
Nichol Knoll is a great place to work on wedges. Played there 2 weeks ago. Course was plush, greens were in good shape. 2 weeks later, speckled with brown dead spots on every hole. Doesn’t affect putts yet, but what happened to the greens? Concerned!
Great par 3
Enjoyable par 3. Great for beginners or if you want to work on your short game.
