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.

Its a great course
A real SHAME they are tearing it apart and NO golf for over a year
Arlington Lakes
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
Excellent Condition
Course is in excellent condition, its lot of fun to play. We will recommend to try at least once
Slow pace great price
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!
Short course with narrow fairways.
Course for a convenient local round. Short with narrow fairways. Play can be very slow.
First timer
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.
one of the last days
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!
fall golf
The course was in excellent shape for a brick November day. The staff, as always, was helpful and courteous.
Wow - Thank you for the five star review!
We are happy to have exceeded your expectations. We love hearing from you and are glad you had a great experience. We look forward to having you back again soon! Until then, take care!
its short
This isn't my first choice because it s very short and nothing special. A great price though and I'd play for a quick weekday round
great greens, lots of undulations and bunkers on every hole.
The fairways were in great shape and the roughs were fairly cut. Did not see a ranger around. So, hard to ask why people were walking instead of using carts on an early Saturday. Morning tee times should be labeled for faster golfers and not for real slow foursomes.
Nice course but slow pace
The course was interesting with some challenging holes (9th hole is the toughest with all of the water surrounding the green) and interesting pin placements. We teed off at 12:30 and finished close to 5pm due to the many foursomes in front of us - we played "ready golf" the whole time to keep the groups behind us from backing up.
The bunkers reminded me of St. Andrews - they were deep and steep to get out of.
Hot weather lot's of 4somes equals long day
The weather was warm and the afternoon a bit humid. Pace of play was slow and bringing the wife along to play made it slower yet at it takes two shots to equal one of mine and then waiting for two other's to hit their balls made the day seem long. The course was a bit rough in spots not the worst I've seen but not the best condition either. You also have to also remember it is a muni. There isn't Ruffled Feather's money put into the course. The rough was a touch long the fairways nicely mowed. Water everywhere only found it once though. Greens were a bit challenging to read with subtle breaks but they break as expected toward the water away from hills/elevation. Everyone was nice and friendly. My best advice is go early and set the pace or later maybe even on a weekday as the weekends seem to be solid foursomes throughout the day.
Just like I remembered it.
Fun but Challenging course with rough that was deep.
Arlington
Beautiful
Day
This course beat me up, I shot 91. I can't wait to play there again.
good for senior people.
Arlington lake is not far from city. The cost is reasonable. Good for senior to get exercise.
golf carts not allowed !
The course was wet, due to earlier rains. They did not allow carts. Was hard to walk on the wet ground.
We decided to quite after 9 holes. They did not give rain checks, saying we contact you!
great staff, great value
average difficulty with some narrow holes, just enough water and bunkers. Staff very helpful, offered to take my clubs to the cart as I checked in and found my putter cover. Can't beat the price! I thoroughly enjoyed myself
Good course for the price
This is a great course for the price, can't find an average $29/round, carts included, course around the area so I have no complaints on the average course condition at times... Overall you get what you pay for
Arlington Lakes
Nice local course. Great Value, convenient location.
