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.

Beautiful Setting
This course is challenging. Trees, hills and water.
Bring an extra sleeve of balls. Nice long fairways for those who need to practice distance. Greens could be better manicured.
Nice shorter course
First time golfing here. We were a twosome and got paired up with a couple nice guys, which helps. Course was crowded but tee time was upheld and the pace of play was OK for as crowded as it was. If you are straight you can score well here, but the fairways are very tight and you can get into trouble easy and balloon your score quick Tons of bunkers so bring your beach clothes. Cart girl was always around but no rangers in sight, so if there is slow play don't really know what would be done about it.
Very slow and poor green conditions
They continuously allow fivesomes out which causes backups all over the course. I saw at least 3 fivesomes out in front of us and this was not the first time I have had to deal with this. The average golfer at this course do not repair divots on the greens making them very bumpy. I will likely never play this course again.
Golf Course
This is a good course to play a relaxing round of good golf, it's a shorter course but with the bunkers and water it can have it's way with you at times. A very good value.
Lucy
Enjoyable course with lots of water. The speed of play was a problem on our round, because a foursome of men ahead of us were very slow and not allowing two-somes to play through.
The staff was very helpful when I lost my iPhone.
Very polite and willing to go out of their way to help me find it. Which we did!
Great Value
Great course. Good pace and friendly stall. We'll maintained course. Well worth the reasonable rates.
Nice course, nice layout
Nice course with a challenging but score friendly layout. Several elevated tee boxes, lots of sand traps and water hazards. Some of the traps are very deep around the greens and plentiful! We played 18 at 8:15 am on the 4th of July and were done at noon. Have fun with hole #9, that green layout is ridiculous and requires a 3rd shot that drops and stops to have any chance there.
Rating says it all
Didn't need to drive far for an affordable course that is in good shape. Pay a little slow for early morning play
Short but challenging course
I enjoy playing this course . It's challenging with many water hazards. It's always kept in good condition
Slow pace and okay greens
I was really disappointed with our pace. On the 9th whole there were 8 on and 12 all waiting to tee off. Tee times are too close together and we were backed up all day for up to 15-20 mins on some holes. Very short course and par 68 with a decent amount of water. Probably will not go back as it's too much for what you get.
Short Course...put away the driver
Must place every shot...driver not needed. Some nice holes, challenge comes in the placement. Often advantage is to lay up a few yards out. Many traps with not much sand. Traps are very high. Stay in front, you do not know what is behind the green. Golf ears seem to be less than average. We played under three hours and still the group behind us still hit into us three times...this shows less than average ability.
tIGHT COURSE WITH MANY HAZARDS.
Arlington Lakes is a short, but very challemging 18 hole course with may sand bunkers and water hazards to challenge all golfers.
Grren wre being aearted, but still puttable.
Course demands precise shots.

Solid course
Good value overall. Good staff, deceat course conditions and consistent greens. Lots of traps around greens.
Nice course
Enjoy playing because low scores are a good possibility, greens are tough at times 3 putts a pain at times. The one problem I have with this course is the lack of yardage markers, always have to search for a sprinkler head marker, that are not easy to locate. However it's still a fun course for the money.
Sunday afternoon
This course would be great for a nice sunny Sunday afternoon outing where you can just go a nice leisurely pace.

Great day to play. Could, overcast, but our play was fast.
Good luck on the greens
This course is quite short tee to green. It's fine for the average player. But the greens...
First of all, I'm sure they were ridiculously hard and fast because of the winter. That's understandable. But in knowing this, some of the holes are cut in nearly impossible locations. There were at least four holes where I ran a putt six inches by and the green took it 8 feet away.
Other than that, the experience was pretty good. There was absolutely no crowd when we went, which was odd for a Saturday afternoon with ideal weather. I'd play here again if I needed a decent course to play for not much money.
This course has a good fairway.
This course is a nice place to practice if you want to improve. Very recommendable to all.
