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.

Needs water

This course is for the old and young.

It’s a short track, but is tight at times. It’s sad that they took out a lot of sand traps. People are freindly. Outiside seating is very nice for a drink after round.

All in all, could be kept up a little better. Maybe speed up the greens to make it tougher.

Thoroughly Surprised

With low expectations, I didn't expect much out of this golf course. Boy did my mind change. The course is in relatively good shape despite some spotty tee boxes. The greens roll true, bunkers nice and fairways were in good shape. At its value, give this course a try!

Redo

Course is in great shape since the redo. Only problem is on the tee boxes which were hard as a rock. I noticed others having a difficult time getting their tees in. Pace of play is very slow as it is a short course and many of the seniors are out there enjoying themselves.

Terrible customer service

Booked round thru golf now. Showed up was told to tee off on 10. Finished back nine and went to tee off on 1st hole. Starter was extremely rude demanding my receipt and telling me to turn around and get out of line due to league play. Starter on 1 st hole needs to learn that his fellow employee made a mistake by sending out on the backside .

The Hot Dog machine was broke? Really?

The Tees - Fairways & Greens were in Great shape. We had some rain the night before so, it was cart path only,. I would have given the experience an "A" but, there was nothing to eat. This was Mother's Day. Muffins - Cookies - Peanuts & Beverages was the "Menu De Jour". Are you kidding me??????

Rained out

It rained so unable to play. I called you to get rain check.

However, I couldn’t get it since the hot deal I had.

You told me I’d get some promo.

I look forward to I get it.

Nice looking course

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here, no issues with pace of play. The water provided a challenge on more than 1 hole and took a fair amount of my foursomes balls. Greens were very quick, much more difficult than I and my friends are used to as our handicap is in the 30s.
