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.

The earlier out the better

The course is great, probably my favorite in the northwest suburbs. Rate of play slows down significantly as the day goes on.

Home town feel

With the maturity of the trees and the staff friendliness, I felt immediately at home and welcomed. THe course has a nostalgic feel to it. It is challenging enough but not too challenging to where you are frustrated. The fairways are a bit narrow on various holes but I loved the shade of the trees when I wasn't hitting out of them. :) Not much water on the course either. My only complaint is we only saw the cart girl twice on the front nine, not at all on the back and it was 95 degrees out there!!

Disappointing

Got paired up with father teaching young daughter.
Over 5 and a half hours. Requested to wait and play later, course management very poor. Unfriendly staff as well. Not a good feeling, won't be going back. Did not have a good time at all.

My buddy and I went out after work and teed off at 4:10. We told the starter we were fast players and despite the group coming in being on the ninth tee he still wouldn't send us off the back. We didn't finish the front nine until 6:55... Horribly slow (because of a league). After we hit the back nine we got to hole 12 by 7:15 and played through a group. Hole 13-18 only took us 40 minutes. Moral of the story, don't go Wednesday's after 3pm

Bartlett Hills

Nice, old time style course. I know it's been wet, but the course is poorly maintained. Decent greens, although a bit small. Incredibly long rough with a lot of weeds. Drains poorly. A good value at the hot deal rate, but not really worthy a lot more than that.

Challenging Prestine Condition Course

My first time playing this course and I was extremely impressed. The greens, fairways, and tee boxes were in great condition. Course places challenging overall, which is a good thing! The hole setup along with the hills and bunkers on the course make for a fun round and experience. My pace of play rating occurred due to the mixed group ahead of us which included grand parents and their grand daughter. Front 9 took us nearly 2.5 hours to complete. The back 9 we were free of the individuals ahead of us and completed it in 1.5 hours. Would recommend individuals to play this course, I will be back again!

Updated Review

I deleted my original 1 star review and changing to 3 stars as the head pro at this course reached out to me and made it right.

My main complaint was the rough. Rough off the fairway is fine but off the green, it didn't look maintained.

Rough is Rough!!!

Played on a perfect day!

Course was in beautiful shape...tees, fairways and greens...all were excellent!!

The rough...well...the U.S. Open would be proud ;) The rough is long...and thick...extremely long and thick...I'm not sure if that's the way they keep it all season long (and it won't keep us from going back), but it does make it difficult for even the best of players to find balls one foot off the fairway or greens (I hit 8 of 14 fairways off the tee...3 of the other 6 drives hit the fairway and rolled into the rough...maybe a foot or two...found one pretty quickly, one took almost 5 minutes to find...literally 6" into the rough...and one is still somewhere on the course). Again, the course is in beautiful shape and we will be back, but just be aware of the "ball eating rough!"

Great shape considering 2" of rain day before

One of my local courses. Like to play, never get tired of it. Not too difficult, but has little things that challenge. Greens are fairly quick most of the time. Food and beverage service is less than most.

Forgiving yet challenging course

I enjoyed the view on many of the holes. With lots oh hills the course landscape added some challenges. For me probably the best thing about the course is the wideness of the fairways. Miss the fairway and the thick rough could bite ya.

Good times

After playing many rounds at Bartlett hills this one was as enjoyable as the rest. Course was in good shape and greens were recently top dressed and quick! the course has a good variety or short and long holes and would recommend it to golfers of all levels.

Great shape for November

Course was in excellent shape, leaves were blown from the fairways & greens, greens were also in excellent condition, reading true & a little fast. Greens had not yet been perforated &sanded, like playing during the regular season.
