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 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.
