Rating Snapshot
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.

Great course for your irons
Clean, well kept greens and grass. Different elevations when playing which allows for good workout, but also Different reads to take on your balls. The greens are challenging with there speed but are a great size. Really enjoy the course and hospitality!!
Walter Payton!!!! Course has unique tie to one of the greatest. Hole 3 gives big hint, but the rock on the patio in the corner tells the story!!
Good luck and enjoy your round!!!
Great track
Awesome 9 hole par three. Great condition and green in April were rolling well. Payton hill on #3 is photo must.
Rudeness from the Attendant on Duty
I scheduled and payed for 2. Then invited my brother to join us. But the attendant said we could not change the lineup for a threesome. We were scheduled at 1:20pm. He added us to a twosome starting at 1:25pm. So I did not play. And my son & brother were forced to play with the twosome scheduled after us. He was rigid and RUDE! I have played Nickel Knoll many many times over the years and have never had a problem until last Saturday.
Fun little track!
This was my first time here and it was a really fun little par three. Enough trouble to work around and easy enough to just shoot and have fun. Most definitely will play again.
Great course to get started
I’ve been taking my boys to play Nickol Knoll every weekend for years. It’s a perfect place to get them started. The course is always in great shape. The head pro, Steve, is always friendly and helpful.
Always a great time playing this course
This course is always in great condition. I have been playing it for years now with friends and family.
Great but sandy
Course was a lot of fun to play & was beautiful! Only comment was several of the greens were incredibly sandy. Really made putting hard.
Very nice
Enjoyed the round the course and the lay out. Will play again very soon.
