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.

Type Public
Par 71
Length 6478 yards
Slope 130
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.

Customer Service is the one thing that is consistent at this course. Consistently bad. Course conditions aside….the way you’re greeted at this course Is like you’re a interruption to the day. It starts with the Management at the course and filters through the pro shop to the starters.

It’s a shame cause the course and facilities has so much potential.

Couldn’t have been better.

The greens couldn’t have been in better shape and it was November 2nd. I’ve played here a handful of times and it’s always great. Staff couldn’t be more polite and everything is always in great shape. Great course!

Bartlett Hills

Unfortunately it was wet but the overall coarse was in great shape. There was no marshal and we got stuck behind a foursome that would not let a twosome play through. It made for a very long round.

I would definitely play again all things considered.

Nice Course

For a Friday afternoon pace of play was slow. Waited at each hole. This was the only issue. Greens were running fast which is nice to see

Meh...

Greens freshly aerated no warning. Tons of sand that made it frustrating. The turn was closed way earlier than it should be. Just a public course...1 ea.
