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.

short but challenging greens
I like playing here if Its a discount price. I feel like I should shoot a good score because its relatively a easy, short course. But You have to hit and read the greens right too shoot low. Many of them are sloped and small. Three puts can attack you on almost any green here. My last 2 scores were +1 then +12
nice and straight. no doglegs.
Nice and straight. No doglegs.go OVER water twice. Two holes have water on one side. Two holes with water on both sides. Nice and straight
Good course but short and can take 5 hrs to play
I play here often and it can be a 5 hour round at times. The round I played on this day was extremely quick but that is a rarity.
Time consuming.
If you don't mind waiting 15 minutes per hole to tee off this is for you. Rangers are non existing.No one does anything about slow play. This is a classy sport. Not so much when no one will let you play through or people don't know enough to offer. Not even a good fist time course because no one should learn that way. Inconsistant greens and no one rakes the sand trap after being in it. Nothing like trying to hit your ball out of a nice deep footprint. Rude. Great price, but with all considered I would gladly pay 10.00 more somewhere else for better service and conditions.
It rained steadily, but mgmt gave NO rain checks.
Mgmt gave NO rain checks when requested by several golfers!
Later and straighter...
Used Golfnow for a tee time. Was there early and got right out for 18. Fun and challenging course easy to get to.
Nice short, well maintained course.
Nice course, pace moved very well with out any rangers. Staff was very nice. More water than I expected, but it was great to have a challenge.
The slow play is the worst for this course. 5 1/2 hours of waiting 5 minutes for every shot--when there is no rangers there is no regard for those gol
I have not played it in 20 years. And it will be 20 more before I go back...the worst slow play. No rangers to move people along--I went in the clubhouse after 9 and 4 guys were watching golf on TV and could care less. It was a nightmare.
Short enough for average golfers to play and enjoy
Course has some interesting features in terms of being short yet a bit tight in spots. The par 5 9th is a little challenge. Had a boom of a drive and a 9 Iron in over bunkers to a raised green. Hit is perfect but with narrowness of green it rolled off the back. Could still get up and down for birdie but little chance for eagle which is what I thought after seeing the 9 iron go.
Nice, tight course with challenging greens.
The course is a bit short, but has copious sand, water and trees. Accuracy is rewarded with many challenging birdie putt opportunities.
Rainy day wonder!
This is our go to course on "iffy" weather days. Drainage is great. The sand traps were soggy so that part of the game was challenging.
The greens on this course are cut like fairways at most places that I have played recently
It is quite difficult to tell the difference between the fairways and the rough and almost impossible to find a flat spot on most of the tees
Good for Park Dist Course
I have played this course a lot as it is close and reasonably priced. Average maintenance for a public course. Slight difference between the fairways and the rough from mowing, but not the high quality fairways found at higher end courses. The course plays short and tight with water on 40% of the holes and a moderate amount of mature trees. If you are a little wild off the tees, you will find yourself on another fairway for many of the holes - the nice part being that you will have a reasonable lie/shot. The greens are typical of most public courses and well maintained. I would give it a 7 out of 10. On a side note, avoid playing the night of the ladies social league (Thursdays I believe). These particular gals play sloooooowwwwwww. I left the course after taking almost an hour to play 2 holes and a tee shot from 3.
nice course for senior and women.
As senior nice and easy and enjoyable. Hopelly more courses be open for senior and women players.
short but diffcult
The staff was great the course was crowded but everything ran smothly. I really enjoy ed my round
Course was in great shape. Many traps and water hazards make it tricky. Accurate shots are required
the course is great at the price of 20.00
very tough course, a little to narrow. lots of older folks.
Great course. A little shorter than most, but reasonable from the back tees.
My second time to play here and will definitely be going back.
Pretty nice public course, pretty straightforward
The course is overall in pretty good shape. I played here in the summer and it was definitely in better shape, but you can't blame them for Chicago Fall weather. Greens and fairways were in good shape. The course needs more distance markers. They also only have the blue tees open, but the distances are not right. Staff was...ok. Not really friendly at all, but also wasn't rude or anything, just kind of neutral. They offere a good value for an 18 hole course. I'd say it is good for beginners to intermediate golfers. It has its challenging holes and angles, but most good golfers would probably find it easy as most of the holes are straight on. Good course, I'd play again especially for the price. Enjoy, FORE!
Nice viwe
