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.

Nice Layout w/ some challenging greens!

Played this course twice. Value for 18 and a cart was very good around Chicago. Some challenging greens that can play fast! Lots of water too. Def a fun course to work on your strategy.

Friendly

Great staff! Always welcome you with a smile. Starter Wayne was excellent as usual. He made sure the pairings were correct and equal. He really gets things going and has a terrific attitude. Don followed him and was very friendly. Course is in very good shape. Greens are a little slow but looks like it was just on this day because they are usually just right. Nice short course for us old guys. Well managed facility.

Short and Nice

great short course nicely maintained and great staff. New rules extra 12.00 dollars to ride alone in cart which is the first time I have seen that in years. So if you don't mind company go for it. I will continue to play this course because I really like the staff. They treat you like family. Bill and Wayne the starters are great. They get you off on time and make sure your all set up before your tee time. Very professional. All in all a very playable and nice course.
