About
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.

Never Again
As a 3-some we were stuck behind a 5-some and waiting for every shot starting at the second hole. No intentions to let us play through so I asked the starter after 9 holes. He yelled at me and told me that pace of play is ok - we ended up playing 4,5 hrs, not sure how that is fair ignoring the fact that most courses don't allow 5-somes or would do something to improve pace, not so at Bartlett.
Since there are enough good courses in the area, I'll never play at Bartlett Hills again
Great! Thank you for visiting us at Bartlett Hills Golf Club. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Fun round at a great course.
Lots of hills and unjulations on the greens. Tee boxes a little hard due to lack of rain. Fairways in great shape if you can keep it there. Lots of trees and bunkers throughout. Greens on the back nine had a lot more sand on them due to topdressing. Overall great target golf course.
Awesome! Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Bartlett Hills Golf Club.
Great experience
I was visiting the area from Texas and picked this course based on other reviews. I booked an 8:08 tee time and showed up to the course around 7:30. The pro shop staff were attentive and helpful. While on the practice putting green the starter informed me our 4some could go off early if ready (always nice when that happens). The course is in good shape. Nice flat tee boxes, fairways are well taken care off. Greens were rolling well, but did have a lot of old ball marks that people didn't fix. This didn't effect any our groups play. Routing was fun, and welcoming to walkers. I didn't walk but if I played again I would, Finished the day with a beer on the patio overlooking the 18th. This course is all you could ask for out of a public course!
Fantastic! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Bartlett Hills Golf Club. We look forward to seeing you the next time you're in town for another 5-star experience!
Disappointing
I am not sure, but I guess the 2 gentlemen in the Pro shop were having a very bad morning. Extremely unfriendly. I guess that myself and my golf partner was an imposition to them that morning. Sadly enough saw one of the Pro shop gentlemen when we finished our round in the bar and was never acknowledged for over 7 minutes. I guess they do not want new players from Palatine. Eddie "O" was fantastic !!!!! Maybe he should be in the Pro Shop !!!!!!

Fun course- slow play
Friday with perfect weather- nice layout that you get what you see with no real tricks or surprises. Only real complaint was the pace of play. It was a 5 hour round.

Great course
This course is very well maintained. It was in great condition. Challenging with quite a few trees. Has a restaurant and bar. A great place to golf

Two golfers introduced to Bartlett Hills.
I brought two golfers with me that had not played Bartlett Hills before. Both enjoyed the course and said they will play it again. The course is in good shape and quite picturesque. The fairways and greens are in good shape. The rough is short enough to be able to find your ball - something that can't be said for another local course I play.
Excellent! Thank you for taking the time to review us. Your feedback is valuable, and we look forward to delivering you excellent service again soon. Bartlett Hills Golf Club thanks you!
Slow ,slower.sloweest
Very nice course. Great layout. Pace of play was awful. 6 hours on a Friday afternoon. No rangers on course to keep play moving. The pace took away from the entire experience.

Very good course
I’ve played a lot of courses around the greater Chicagoland area this month while spending some time here. Most courses have interesting and great layouts but are not well maintained. This course however is great. Very well manicured and looked after course. It rewards good shots and punishes bad ones. Will definitely be playing here more often
Great! We're glad that you enjoyed our course and the challenge it presented. We look forward to having you back again soon for your next round with us!
Excellent! Glad you enjoyed your time with us!

I've told the starter how to improve the situation. Therefore I've nothing to add other than the way the situation was handled was unprofessional hence there won't be a next visit...
