Course Highlights
Bartlett Hills consistently earns praise for lightning-fast, perfectly sloped greens that rival country club conditions at a great value. The mature tree-lined layout, friendly staff, and well-maintained fairways make it a standout hidden gem in Chicagoland.

Rating 71.7

Bartlett Hills Golf Club has been a favorite Chicagoland golf destination since it first opened in 1929. To keep the layout up to modern standards, it has undergone many changes over the years but it still has the same classic character. At 6,463 yards from the back tees, this traditional layout might not be long but it still provides a fair test. Rather than distance, the golf course demands smart play and accurate shot placement thanks to narrow, tree-lined fairways and several tricky doglegs. You might not have many chances to use your driver but you'll definitely get some iron practice. There isn't too much trouble off of the tees at Bartlett Hills G.C. But greenside you'll be faced with nearly 30 strategically placed bunkers and water hazards come into play on seven holes, which include some forced carries.

The Course Wide Open at Noon

We used the GolfNow rate at noon and the course was wide open. The greens were in very good shape and it's been kind of dry with no rain the past week. The traps on number nine hole needed more sand, but most traps were not in play during the round. The staff were friendly in the clubhouse and bar afterwards. We sat on the outside balcony overlooking the 18th green.

Great course fantastic staff at Proshop!

We golfed on a Thursday so the course was not as busy as a Friday - Sunday. There was no wait ever and no pressure from front or behind. The driving range is a big plus. If there is one complaint, it is the bunkers. They can get quite hard but a quick raking clean and drop makes for a far attempt. Definitely worth the cost!

Hilly

The course is top notch front to bottom, for really not that much money. I’m not picky about course conditions and this place always blows my expectations out of the water in that regard. Whoever designed this course did a fantastic job as well. Variety in green complexes, risk reward decisions, not being sure which way my putt is breaking sometimes which I kinda love. It’s very playable for any golfer and yet still challenging for skilled golfers. 10/10 recommend

This course needs some attention

I played my first round @ BH on a Friday afternoon in the steam. The rates were fine for a 2pm tee time, with a cart.

The course wins the award for the most clover, ever. They need some weed killer at this place. The tee boxes and course need some attention, too.

I also thought I wouldn't find a higher priced gatorade than Whisper Creek, but I did. $ 4.50! That's nuts! At least there was a drink cart that made regular passes.

Pretty average course overall. If you like fast greens, you would love this course. Some very interesting spots for water drains on some holes so be aware of that. Pace of play was very very slow, we had to wait a minimum of 15 minutes in between holes. Overall not bad, still had fun.
