About

Holes 9
Type Public
Par 27
Length 1163 yards
Slope N/A
Rating N/A

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 par 3

Alway a fun little course.

But the tee boxes were terrible. Little grass and patchy. Green conditions so so.

Should be reminders for pace of play. Foresome ahead was very slow and one player taking a lot of second shots on duffs.

Needs water and more

Could be a good short course but needs some work. Spray weeds and take better care of the greens/tees.

Help

Course was hit with a fungus or disease which has killed the Bermuda grass on the tee's and some parts of the greens. Some water would help as well as some lawn maintenance.
