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.

Nice course

Well kept course. Pretty short course. Greens have lots of ball marks. Not the course's fault just most people don't repair their marks anymore.

Good Course and in Great Shape

I played here 3 years ago and was glad I came back. The course was in great shape and well maintained. Our foursome had to wait to tee off on only one hole, a par 3, so we were able to walk 18 in 4 hours. Not the longest or most difficult course, but some fairways are narrow, there's lots of water and most greens are tricky, so it can be cahllenging.

Good condition, great value.

The greens are well maintained, tee boxes and fairways as well. The course is short, but challenging due to the very tight fairways and/or water hazards. It’s in a neighborhood and all holes are right next to each other, but still, good value and worth a shot. The staff is nice enough and they did have a beer cart running around. No range but there is one a 1/2 mile away. Priced accordingly due to length and creativity but they maintain it very well, hazards are very challenging and make you think on club selection. I’d play here again and have no major complaints other than it’s just a short city course, well maintained compared to others of similar layout and very fair price.

Good Casual Course

Arlington Lakes is the prefect place for a casual round of golf with friends or family. Course layout is straight forward with water on a few holes providing just enough of a challenge to keep things interesting no matter what your skill level. The course layout tends to lead to an acceptable pace of play. I normally play early morning tee times to ensure good pace of play, however I played an afternoon time with three buddies, who don’t golf often, and we made it around in just over 4 hours. Which was refreshing since other courses in the area can result in 6 hour death matches around that time. The staff is super friendly and they perfectly fit the casual atmosphere of the course.

A pleasant surprise

The course was in great shape even though we have had an incredible amount of rain during the past week. Many other courses have holes under water, but the entire playing area was dry. The greens were moderately fast and in great condition. I really enjoyed the course!
