Bartlett Hills Golf Club
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.

Great place to play- hidden gem
Love the layout. Great place to shoot for score. Challenging yet entertaining.
Great course conditions were very good traps could use a little work but overall great course great layout.
What a nice golf course! Western suburbs MUST olay
What a nice golf course, very underrated ! Challenging fairways, challenging greens . Good golf course conditions. If you have not played Bartlett Hills you are missing out on playing a hidden Gem at a reasonable rate. A must play for those who truly appreciate playing various golf courses.
Great, challenging, hilly, well-maintained course hidden away in Bartlett
I vary my rounds between Bartlett Hills, St. Andrews, and Villa Olivia because I live in Bartlett, but Bartlett Hills is my favorite. The course is just flat-out gorgeous. They do call it "Bartlett HILLS" for a reason, so you do need to be in good shape to walk instead of ride. The staff do a nice job of maintaining the course throughout the year. The pace is usually pretty good, though you're not likely to finish under 4 hours unless you get there very early. But on the other hand, I can't remember every having a round longer than 4.5 hours.
Good Prices, Great Layout, Slow Pace
Tee time: 2:16 on a Friday ($35)
Second time playing Bartlett Hills in the last 2 months. Outside of the pace, I love the way this course plays. Both times it has presented a challenge. Greens have subtle undulations, but roll pretty true. I love the elevated tee boxes, elevation changes, and sloping fairways. It's tight in areas, so if the course is crowded you will need to keep your head on swivel. Driving range on-site is a plus. As long as you're not too short on time, I would recommend giving Bartlett Hills a shot.
Good time
Had to wait for the lightning to go away, took awhile with their detectors are 10 mile radius. Had some beers while we waited with nice bartenders. Finally got out and it was a good time! After 12 holes lightning radar went off again so we decided to get a rain check. They gave us a rain check for 9 more holes without a problem
Great tine
Excellent course. Friendly staff. Easy pace
Thx for great time
Beautiful views
Bartlett has great mature trees and elevated tees as well as some tight fairways. Hitting a straight ball works to your advantage but it is forgiving at times. Great courses.
classic old course
Course was in great shape,although because of all the rain chicago has experiencd the rough was thick and it was hard to find your ball.They finally have a combo tee of white and red for us seniors(5600 yds).The regular tees are too long for us short hitters.Lots of old trees for shade.Hard to walk.As the name implies.lots of hills.Bring a gps it is hard to find yardage markers.Not worth a long trip,but good for us locals.
Overall a great day in Bartlett
Staff was very accommodating and friendly. Got brand new golf carts. Very comfortable. Pace was going very well for a very hot day. The greens and fairway were in excellent condition. I would highly recommend this golf course.
Convenient
Convenient location for our group. We had to wait on almost every hole from start to finish. After very little play in the A M, three groups were schedule before us. The 1st 2 groups showed up late, starting us off behind schedule and it never got better. It would have been nice to let us off early, we were there and ready.
Good and Bad
Bartlett Hills has some fun holes, and tricky greens. That being said, if you are not the first tee-time out; play somewhere else. The course is barely over 6000 yards, and it took my 3-sum 5 hours and 15 minutes to finish. I literally waited no less (and probably more) than 10 minutes per shot. The real icing on the cake though was driving up to the group in front of me, and having to ask them to kindly give me my ball back at least 5 or 6 times groupfront of me at least 5 or 6 times because these individuals were stealing every ball they could get their hands on our there (including my ball all the time). If I am ever the first tee time out, I will play again; however, anything else just save yourself the frustration.
Bartlett Hills Review
Course was not bad. In good condition and challenging.
Slow Play on a Hot Day
First time playing Barlett Hills and I must say very impressed with the layout of the course. Great variety of holes. Unfortunately we chose to play on the hottest day of the year and while the starter indicated pace was 2:05 for the first nine, it took 2:45 for the front 9 and 5:15 overall. Certainly the heat had something to do with it and the Rangers were doing their best to keep players moving along but waiting 10 minutes on each tee was just brutal. Will definitely be back on more comfortable day.
