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.

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!

Way too short (5,300 yds) for price; bad value

Play was very slow, the 5,300 yds took 4 hrs to play. Costs as much as other courses that are longer and more challenging. Wont be going back

Good fun course

The course was in very nice condition. The length of the course was short by todays standards, but for people my age (62), it was just right. It gave us a chance to reach most of the par 4's in regulation. The par 3's also were more fun because they were 130 yds to 170 yds instead of the 220 yd holes on some of these courses. All in all, we had a very nice time on a well kept course.
