Arlington Lakes Golf Club
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.

Only Recommended if you get a deal
Normal green fees are really not that expensive, but the course has very poorly maintained greens and tee boxes. Quite frankly I wouldn't pay more than $40 with a cart. Course is very short about 5300 or even less depending on tee box locations, however it has enough harder holes to keep it interesting. It's not a bad track just one that needs some attention. Slow play abounds.
Grounds need improvement
The greens and tee boxes both need improvement. Way too many un-repaired
divots on the tee boxes. Three greens appear to have a serious disease and the rest were pockmarked a lot (I realize some of this is due to lazy golfers not repairing their ball marks)
Fairways were in great shape.
Good value course
Short but enjoyable, pace a little slow but not terrible,
Staff extremely good
Will play again
Arlington lakes
Fun course, narrow fairways, some water on 1/3 of the holes.
Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the challenge our course offers with its narrow fairways and water hazards.
Grounds crew
There wasn’t a single hole where a grounds crew wasn’t cutting, blowing, turning on sprinklers, or just sitting there running a motor.
Thank you for sharing your experience; we're glad you found our course enjoyable and our staff to your liking. We look forward to welcoming you back for another round.
