Arlington Lakes Golf Club

I payed my online green fees only to be charged an additional $22.00 per golfer [times 2] at the check in time with no explanation. The tee boxes were so hard that you couldnot push the tees down without breaking. The greens were pitted from divot holes. The fairways and ruff areas were dry with bare dirt.

The fairways had weeds. The course was in need of TLC. The twilight charges need to be addressed before the supposed fees are finalized.

I had a 340pm on Monday the 6th,2016.

This was the 2nd time that I played this course - 1st since their re-design. Course was in great shape. A little dry in some areas, but hard to blame the course. Being a lefty, I noticed quite a few holes with water in the left. Good mix of par-3's. Course is worth a visit.

I could have great time with my freinds.

The course was in good condition, played kinda slow but that's to be expected here. They switched the nines. So the front is the back & so on. Also I think they added a new green or two since they revamped the course. Overall the changes to the bunkers were nice but still challenging.

This course is fun for various skill level players and is a good value. Conditions are generally good except for tee boxes. Greens are small, challenging for putting and difficult to hold.

played a little slow in my opinion

Everything was very good, staff, sign in, carts, pace of play and course condition. Looking forward to returning.

On July 1, 2016 Arlington Lakes reopened after a year of renovations. So I am writing this review as a person who played the course many times before the renovations took place.

Bottom line: I liked the old course better. It was much more challenging; therefore, in my opinion, the old course was more fun to play.

An employee explained to me that the renovations sought to make the course easier to play; hence, an expected increase in the pace of play. I've played the "new" course three times and have not experienced a significant increase in the pace of play from the old course.

However, Arlington Lakes is now an easier course to play than before the renovations. Unfortunately, to me, many trees were cut down thus making what were once interesting holes very mundane.

There is plenty of water on this course and many narrow fairways. So accuracy is the key to success particularly because this is a short course from the back tees. So distance is not problematic.

The greens are in excellent condition and are not particularly fast.

So if you want to play some interesting target golf, give Arlington Lakes a try.

Distance markers were not consistent. Some holes had stakes, some had fairway discs, some painted distances on cart paths. Need more drinking water.

Grass on Tee boxes was pretty rough.

Huge renovations were made and I thought I'd give it another shot. Unfortunately, I find it still not worth the amount of money they charge (especially on a day in the 90's). It is a great course for beginners.

Positives: Greens, bunkers, and fairways were in great shape. A lot better than before.

Negatives: Pace of play, tee boxes chewed up, and the cost.

If you want to play at a retirement home golf course come here. If you like playing with old ppl come play here. Started at 11:50 ended 4:15..And the course wasn't even long 5226 yards less then 6000yards will not play here ever again . The par 3 off of Dundee rd and 53 so much better.

A real SHAME they are tearing it apart and NO golf for over a year

Most of the tee boxes were in rough shape, lots of sand, they're closing soon for a complete renovating the entire course. Looking forward to playing this course again when they're done

Course is in excellent condition, its lot of fun to play. We will recommend to try at least once

This course has lots of in experienced golfers and there is lots of wrong fairways played and the Pace is about 5:30 for 18 week day 6:00 pace week end and I have played here about 20 times because of the value!

Nice course with good maintenance. Good pace.espcially am...good for walk as just 5000 plus yds.

Course for a convenient local round. Short with narrow fairways. Play can be very slow.

Played the day after Christmas when the temperature spiked to 50 degrees. The only option was to walk even though the grounds were firm. Ok no big deal... the course has some nice long fairways and some approaches when you're ~100 yds or so out are challenging b/c of bunkers. So many times you have to plan on landing on the back of the green unless you're very accurate from those distances.

One major area of improvement is marking the course as to where the next hole is. We were paired up with a guy who plays this course often and w/o him we would have been lost on some holes. Otherwise, nice course and I will definitely try it again.

we booked it Great Rate to walk and had a blast. The weather is changing and may not be any rounds left out there so we were thrilled to play. It's in nice shape a fun course - that I will play again and again. Fair Price and great shape for this time of year!

The course was in excellent shape for a brick November day. The staff, as always, was helpful and courteous.
