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.

Aesthetically pleasing.
I really like the course. Most holes require that you pay attention off the tee. Greens were in great shape for this time of year.
fun course
Considering it was Feb. The course was in good shape and fun to play. Greens were in good condition for Feb.
Go but not in early spring
Played this course 20+ times but never early in the season. Great rate so I took a chance. No surprise cart path only but the greens were open. Nice course to play in summer and fall.
Unreal for February
One of the only courses open with greens open and carts going out in this area in February. Course was well marked and they actually were out cleaning the greens of debris, which I found remarkable for this time of year. Play here frequently and can't wait to get back. I hesitated to write this review as I selfishly would like to keep this hidden gem to myself!
Fast track on weekends
Better bring your A game to this course, especially prime time on weekends.Don't fall behind looking for your ball. You'll have the Ranger on you the rest of your round. Great course, staff is fairly friendly, just don't fall behind. Prime time rounds are getting expensive everywhere you go. I look for coupons and such....
Nice place to play golf.
Wonderfull golf course to play 18 holes.
Bartlett hills
Nice fun course, many challenging holes .
Decent course
Decent course with challenging layout. Day I played was very wet so tough to judge course condition. Several holes have very tight landing area on drives. More elevation changes than similar courses in the area. Pace of play was ok when I played but might be slow on more crowded days.
Nice Shape - Greens and Traps inconsistent
Had not ventured to Bartlett Hills in a few years and forgot what a beautiful golf course it is. Lots of up and down, holes that keep your interest and very tree tight in a few areas. Good driving range and excellent clubhouse. With all the recent rain the sand traps were not up to snuff (lots of folks don't rake them) and the greens while cut that morning were not rolled. A number of the greens on the back nine especially the finishers appeared to have been heavily sanded recently. Rough was extremely long and hopefully they'll be able to cut it soon. Nice definition between fairways/rough/fringes/greens but the putting conditions were slightly sketchy, sand papery and bumpy. Groups in front of us definitely were not repairing their ball marks. 3.5 stars trending to a 4 star experience. The par 3 finishing hole over a pond is a nice change of pace and you have nice views of the 18th from the deck to enjoy a post round beverage.
We'll be back.....
Check-in was a breeze with the Club Pro behind the counter. He explained the nuances of the course. Starter was great, he also reviewed rules & regs. of the tract. We were impressed with the conditions from tees to greens. Nice elevation changes & course layout. The cart girl & the halfway house attendant were very friendly & accommodating. The greens fee seemed a bit high for a Monday. They have an ancillary charge for non-residents, as well as, a $17.00 cart fee each. I was sooooo glad that I booked with Golf-Now. It started out with perfect weather at tee off time. But, it got worse as the day went on. Our twosome made the turn in 1 hour &15 minutes. Then we caught a threesome with a foursome in front of them. To make things worse, they blew the horn while we were putting on 12 green because of lightning. So, we headed back to the clubhouse and packed up our gear. We will be back to play again & finish the last six holes this time. This is a must-play tract in the area.
Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed your round at Bartlett Hills. We're sorry that you were not able to finish your round, but we are looking forward to having you back again soon!
Course was ideal for seniors
Picked a great time as course was practically deserted so no pressure at all. Greens & fairways were very good. Really enjoyed our round. Russ & Mary Ann
Thank you for your review Russ and Mary Ann! We are thrilled you enjoyed your round at Bartlett Hills. We hope to see you both back soon for your next round with us!
Unprofessional Staff
I would like to rate this course higher.It is a decent layout with lots of trees and elevation changes.However,the staff and their lack of customer service brings my rating way down.It took five hours to play on a weekday afternoon.Our tee time was delayed 27 minutes to accomadate high schoolers who were way late for their tee time.By the time we reached 18 a twosome who teed off 90 minutes after us had caught us.There was no ranger in sight and the pro offered no reasonable solution.What a total disappointment.
Thank you for your review! We apologize that you did not fully enjoy your round with us. We will make sure to address these issues so they do not arise again in the future. We hope to see you back again soon for your next round at Bartlett Hills!
Great Personality
First time playing Bartlett Hills, the course has great personality, which is hard to find anymore. Looking forward to playing there this fall when the trees begin to turn.
Hi Rudy1010,
Thank you for choosing Bartlett Hills! It's great to hear that you enjoyed playing the course for the first time. We look forward to having you back in the fall!
Hidden gem
Haven't played here in about 5 years, I forgot how nice a track this is, front a little more forgiving, back is pretty tight and calls for more accuracy off the tee. This course could make it into our regular rotation again.
Hi Michael7532183,
Thank you for your review and for making it back to us for the first time in five years! We are happy to hear that you were not disappointed and would love to make it into your regular rotation! We hope to see you again soon!
Good course
Very fun course to play and challenge you. Lots of hills which makes it fun. Good place to play if your an average golfer.
Thank you for your 5 Star review, Cristian! We are happy to hear that you had fun on our course. Please come back and play with us again soon!
greens are fast but fair!
Course maintenance is the best of any course I've played this year.
Thank you for your 5 Star review! We are so proud to hear that our conditions were the best you've played all year! Come back soon.
love this track
A hidden gem in my opinion. A good balance of challenging holes with tough drives mixed in with easier holes to attack...all while not being overly long. Many of the holes have hills and undulation which is a nice change of pace from the typical flat Illinois tracks. The greens have been in good shape the couple times I've played this season. Would definitely come back.
Hi Wonheecho85,
Thanks for the five star review! We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed our course conditions and layout. We look forward to seeing you back again soon.
