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.

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.

Awful greens

The greens were atrocious. They appear to have some sort of disease. Ball would literally bounce several inches.

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.
