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.

Kicked off due to weather

Paid for 18 holes and only got thru 11 after getting kicked off on hole 12. No refund granted since we got past hole 9. Course was in good condition but make sure it’s a sunny day if you are booking because they won’t grant you a refund if they kick you off.

Pleasant Surprise

Haven’t played this course in a few years. I was pleasantly surprised because the course conditions were much better than I remembered. Played in a little over 4 hours so that wasn’t too bad.

Terrible pin placement

Whoever chose the pin placement should be shot. Never in my life have I played a course where the pin was 4 inches from the fringe or on a hill I could ski off of.

Weather was great, Course is in Goof Shape

I had not played Bartlett Hills in several years. The layout is challenging and enjoyable. We were able to play in 3 hours. One group let us play through, and the groups ahead played quickly.

Fun course

I really enjoyed playing here. Greens were fast but could use a little TLC. It is early in the season so I’m sure it will improve through the summer. The tee boxes and greens are a little tight on some of the holes so you must be accurate. Staff was very helpful and friendly.

BH is a good challenge

We played in 3 hrs - one group let us play through as a twosome. The course was in pretty good condition, on par to other courses in the area. BH is challenging course. The course offers many different hole designs.
