About

Holes 18
Type Public/Municipal
Par 68
Length 5432 yards
Slope 122
Rating 66.0

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.

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. :)

His attitude!!!

The man who came to let the severely handicapped person needs some training in public courtesy. It was either the 2nd or 3rd hole and he walked over to let us know why I have my cart closer than recommended for a handicapped person??? He did have the mannerisms to talk about it because he was an authoritarian and could not could not take the answers provided to him.

At the beginning of back nine the lady on the 10th TEE was extremely friendly and super nice. Wish there were more of them in the world so you can enjoy the game even if you are struggling with your breathing because of Stage 4 COPD!!!

Staff great, pace also great. Greens were a little banged up from golfers not repairing and perhaps the use throughout the Summer season.

Great staff inside and outside the club house.

Course was in decent condition; greens were a little banged up in spots where players did not properly repair. Pace of play was a little slow at times as one group of older players were not attempting to keep pace. Overall, very nice afternoon of golf and I would play here again

Monday Round

Course was in very good condition from tee boxes to greens. Greens were smooth and fast. Pace was great. We played 18 holes in about 3 1/2 hours and it was a good thing because it was a hot day.

Review & Request for credit

I had a great day, the course was in great shape and the staff was very accommodating, when my partner was a no show that sent me out alone and I was appreciative of other golfers who allowed me to pass by and eventually join them.

I tried to ask this in the App and haven’t received an answer so I’d like to try here. That day I reserved and pre-paid for two under my name John Walsh, unfortunately my partner had an emergency and couldn’t make it last minute. Is it possible to get a credit for one round?
