Rating Snapshot
About
Arlington Lakes Golf Club is situated amid the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Locals treasure the course as one of the area's hidden gems. At 5,331 yards from the back tees, this par-68 layout is on the shorter side but don't underestimate its level of difficulty. Besides the mature trees that frame many of the holes and 14 lakes that come into play, there are more than 100 strategically placed bunkers lurking throughout. The layout also features small, sloped greens that demand accuracy but you can take comfort in the fact that there are no doglegs. With strategic shot-placement and a bit of luck, there are some birdie opportunities available. The shorter length of the golf course will appeal to beginners but it's versatile for more advanced players to enjoy as well.

Arlington Lakes
Good course good price greens were good course was in great shape
OVERALL ,COURSE WAS IN GREAT CONDITIONI HAD FIRST TEEOFF OF THE DAY, PACE WAS BEAUTIFUL. I THINK I ENJOY THE EARLY TEE TIMES BEST
For a short course, this place is SLOW!!!
Let me preface this by saying that I played with two others - we had a foursome in front of us that had NO clue how to golf. 100 yards off the 2nd tees, another 100 yards up, another 100, missed greens... Their pace was amazingly slow. They stopped at the restaurant after the first 9, and so we played through (they stopped at least half an hour), and all the sudden the pace of play was unbelievably quick.
There's a marshall driving around, but it's not really to ask about pace of play. I just think for this short course - that the play should be fast. But it's not the case. Unless friends decide to play here (which they normally will not), I don't know that I'll be coming here anymore.
Excellent Course
The layout is extremely nice! My buddy and I were pleasantly surprised with the good conditions and layout!! Fun course I'd play again!
Arlington Lakes
Challenging course for 90-100 stroke players. Lots of water! Course was in fine condition for early on the season.
WYSIWYG golf
This course is straight up with no gimmicky holes. There is some occasional water and some navigable bunkers. Challenging enough for most average golfers.
First Round of 2026
Our round was delayed because of lightning in the area but the staff was great. We were the first group to start once the weather was clear. It rained a bit but not enough to stop playing. It was cart path only but the course was in good shape. We finished our round in under three hours! Love it!!
Great course I did not know it existed
Nice course to walk. In good shape over the winter. Staff friendly and all good. A lot of water, more than some courses in the area. Only played 9 holes. looking forward to the back nine.
Nice course
Nice course, not as long but challenging. Water on a lot of the holes so you need to be precise. Some fairways are bowling alleys with water on both sides. I loved the challenge. Greens was fair at this time of the year. Crazy pin placement though🙂. Overall 👍🏾👍🏾
Nice course overall. It’s very close to me so I visit often. Staff is friendly and accommodating.. Good value for the price. Grounds program could be better.
Distance isn't a problem here...
Obviously this course is short, but the greens are pretty sloped here and there. If you're good at your short game, this course isn't that bad. But if you're just a distance person and you haven't worked on your short game/putting, this course is going to be a bit of a troublesome endeavor. Normally I'm not a double bogey player, but I had two here, and also two birdies (mostly pars otherwise)... again, some of the greens are challenging, and downhill slopes are crazy fast. It's like they put hard greens on a short course on purpose just to mess with you. :)
