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.

awesome round of golf
Course was in immaculate conditions and round of golf was actually one of the best I've ever had.
Will definitely play again
excellent condition
course was in great shape, staff very accomdating, played early so pace was 3 hrs for 18
good value through GolfNow
Good deal/conditions
Played on a Friday, not crowded...Been to a couple of higher-priced courses recently & the greens here were in great shape in comparison..Got a great deal & played in under 4 hrs. Certainly will go back there.
Enjoy playing here.
We play here several times a year. We wouldn't continue to play somewhere if it didn't 'feel' right!
Well maintained.
Staff was very friendly. Made us feel welcome. It was the first time I have played this course and would play it again. It was a great value for the price.
This course needs new management.
Being a "muni" is no excuse for the excessive pitch marks on the greens (we must have repaired at least a half dozen on every green), the noisy, poorly maintained carts being driven up to edge of greens, or the incredibly slow pace of play. We didn't see a single ranger all day. Their response to my complaint was the course gets a lot of play...so does every other course in the area, but they somehow manage to stay on top of things. Too bad, it could be a nice track otherwise.
Challenging course, good layout. Well maintained.
It would have been a great day, I'm from Vegas, first time to play in this course. The course is in good condition and well maintained .Lots of trees and adulation, a big difference from the courses that I used to play. I was paired with three local guys that are very friendly,so we had fun, except for the time of play that we spent. It was more than 5hrs,ridiculously long and frustrating because of the two groups ahead of us, they are beginners and don't know the manners in golf,no consideration to other groups behind them. We called the pro shop but basically they didn't do anything, otherwise it could have been a perfect afternoon .
Great course, awful pace of play
the course is really good; hilly, interesting layout.
Our round lasted 5 hrs. and 20 minutes. No rangers pushing the pace to be found.
Real nice course
Beautiful course with great elevations. The fairways were in need of water as the ground was extremely hard. Will play it again.
Course needs a little water.
Tee boxes hard as rocks...need watering. Sand traps need more sand; under the 1st half-inch of sand is hard clay. Fairways, rough and greens all nicely maintained.
Hit the Fairways; Watch the Greens
Loved playing this course in Bartlett, IL. I signed up as a single and played with a three some who wanted to play the blue tees (6400 yards plus.) I had never played the blue tees at Bartlett, and the back nine is definitely much more challeging on the 400+ yard par fours. There is a lot of pronounced and subtle slope to the greens, depending on pin placement. I hit 11 greens in regulation, yield 10 pars and 8 bogies. No one putt pars or birdies, just two one putt bogies. The rough around the greens is lush and thick. Well worth playing again (from the white tees!)
Tough - Tight Course
This course has a number of tight fairways & tricky greens. Very wooded with large trees lining most fairways. If you're good with the driver, you can score on this course. Otherwise, be prepared to get creative with your recovery shots.
Great course
I would have given this course 5 stars if it weren't for all the divots in the greens and a lot of the divots in the fairways that no one bother to fix. There were some tee boxes that were pretty bad...but most were good. If this is all fixed this course would definitely be a 5. great course...great staff
Nice but slow
while they maintain and push for 2:05 -2:210 for the front nine for their permanent tee times they do NOTHING for anybody after that . NEVER saw the Ranger on the back 9 and by the 12th hole, there was an entire hole open (if not more) ahead. Keep pace with the group ahead of you is the Golden Rule. It's a shame because it was a nice course at a reasonable rate. Charge $1 more per 18 and get a ranger out there and you'll still come out ahead.
Greens Need Work
A lot of ball marks on the greens. On each hole at last one member of our foursome had a putt effected by a ball mark. We tried to repair as many as possible, but there were too many. I know this is a park district course, and etiquette isn't always followed, but this did bring the rating down to 4 stars.
Great course for the money but it may have been twilight rate at 2:30PM
Great course for the money but it may have been twilight rate at 2:30PM. Some challeging holes along with a few pretty open. If your going to spray you will lose some golf balls.
THe course is unique and plays different all the time
Always a great challenge and I frequently play there.
Very nice golf course
I've played here before and always enjoyed the course. I recommend this course to everyone.
prejudice old cokroach ranger
after finishing first nine holes when we came to 10th hole,
ranger make us wait for 30 minutes because they had 5pm group of their buddies playing on back 9
I agree completely with your comments about the employees being dismissive and not caring once you have paid. We had a similar experience, and played a 5 hour 40 minutes round, and when we told the pro-shop, they did nothing. That old ranger on the first tee appears to only be there to make sure no one goes to the tee before their time. He's some old-timer sitting in a cart with nothing else to do. Great course, horrible employees.
beautiful course with great course conditions
An enjoyable course. Many beautiful trees amoung rolling hills. Greens were in great condition and the course provided a variety of challenging holes. Highly recommend this course
Destination Kohler - Champions' Trail Golf Package
I've experienced the same lack of responsiveness on problems. I just don't think they care about golfer feedback. We also had the problem with no ranger, slow play, and an indifference towards feedback. Too many great courses in the Chicagoland area, so no need to to deal with a lack of interest among employees at this course.
