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.

Excellent Spring Golf
Course is in excellent shape for this early into the season. I play here a lot and would consider this my home course but I was pleasantly surprised about how good the conditions were for this early into the season: Couldn’t believe how well the greens were rolling for early spring - they’re fast and firm. Bartlett Hills undoubtedly boasts some of the best greens in the Chicagoland area, as they cut and roll them every morning and put in the necessary effort for upkeep. The bunkers, fairways and tee boxes are in decent shape, since they are still in the process of getting everything up to par and the standard they’re typically in when the seasons in full swing, but that’s to be expected so early into the season and because we haven’t had much good weather yet. The greens fees always reasonable compared to a lot of other courses in the area that are either inferior or already charging absurd prices for subpar spring conditions that aren't satisfactory for the price, but even during peak season the price is always reasonable.
Best greens around
Not the longest course but the greens were so firm and fast. I play a lot of local country clubs and I would say these are some of the best greens in the area. Something you don’t normally see from a park district course
GPS
Great course. GPS and Trying to BT to your phone is a horrible connection.
Nice course
We like the course but was surprised that GOLFNOW did not include cart fees, which were a ridiculous $21 per person.
Okay for this time of year
Was in decent shape for this time of year. Pace was rather slow probably due to so many walkers. Carts are $21/pp which is way too high.
for winter golf play here
January in Chicago area is difficult . But with no snow on the ground Barlett Hills was the place to be . Course was great for the winter , greens where sanded but ran true . Only one green still had snow on it , so it was an amazing time .
Great Track
Excellent, quality, challenging track. Elevated tees. Fast greens. Good value for the money.
Hidden
this golf course truly is a hidden gem. The standout feature, however, are the greens—exceptionally fast and true, they provide a stimulating challenge for golfers of all skill levels. Whether you're navigating tricky slopes or lining up for a birdie, you'll appreciate the precision required. Overall, this course offers a unique experience that’s well worth exploring for anyone looking to enjoy both beauty and a test of skill.
great track - minus the greens
Great laout, challenging but fair. That being said the greens are outrageously fast with crazy slopes and knobs. When you put both factors together it makes putting xtremely difficult. Unfortunately they are so difficult it takes away from the overall experience.
Good layout but concrete greens
Golf course has a nice setup and a friendly staff. The cart girl was great and a decently long course. The greens were unbelievably fast. Like way too fast. The shy high shots wouldn’t even land a dent on them.
