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 course was in excellent condition

The front 9 played in a little over 2 hours, however the back nine was backed up. A course ranger might have helped play proceed quicker. The back nine was played in 2 hrs. 40 minutes.

Pace of play very slow.

For starting at 10:30 am it would seem that we should be able to get a round of golf in around the 4 - 4:15 hour time frame. But it took us 5 hours. The pace was slow and there were no rangers to be found. The cart girl was another issue. She would just drive by and if you were lucky enough to see her you might have been able to wave here over to get a drink. With that being said the course was in good shape and the concession stand at the turn was well received.

Locals have a membership attitude.

Tight, tree lined fairways and rolling terrain make for an interesting and sometimes challenging day on the course. Our foresome played between a three-some of 25ish guys having a nice afternoon on the course. They played along at a slow pace, but we never pushed or waited for them to finish. Behind us, we had what appeared to be a three generation three-some. Grandpa was riding, while dad and son walked. The first time they hit into us, a tee-ball whizzed by with neary a fore. I let it go, we all have made that mistake. On number ten, we are on the green putting out when junior sends his approach over our heads and it bounces over the green not more than 10 feet from us. I look down the fairway and can clearly see dad and son so I YELL "fore" just so they get the idea. Dad yells back that junior had a blind shot and could not see us on the green. Sorry for getting in juniors way and hope he has a great career at the pro shop.

Bring your iron play and short game

If you are a straight driver, you will score well. This course is relatively short, but wait until the summer when greens are in full speed. Since the course only water in play in only 3 holes, adding fairway bunkers will provide additional challenge off the tee.

First Time Playing

Enjoyed the course, the terrain was great. The hills made the course fun to play,

The course is well maintained and the course design is refhreshing for illinois. Not flat and open. The hills make it very different than many of the other courses in the area. Pace of play was very good

Nice layout for the price

Bartlett Hills presents some nice challenges for the moderately-skilled golfer, with some interesting holes and unique design features. The course is in generally good condition; the greens are good, but could use some TLC. Slow play can also be an issue here; closer monitoring by the course staff/rangers to keep up pace of play would be a real plus.

Not overpowering but requires control

Elevation changes and some tight driving holes make the course interesting. Long hitters will definitely want to play from the tips.

Great Value, better later in the season

The course is fabulous. It's a great layout with some challenging holes and rewards some risk takers. The greens weren't great because we had so much rain recently that I don't think they have rolled or cut them very tight. I really enjoyed playing although pace of play slowed down significantly towards the end and someone said in summer time it can really slow down.

This course is really nice - alot of variety to the terrain. Very challenging and pretty.

Have played Bartlett Hills Golf Course quite a bit over the years both as a travel team competitor and just for fun. It is one of my favorite courses due to the challenge of the hilly terrain and alot of uneven lies. The greens are usually somewhat fast which makes it even more of a challenge, and the course has always been in excellent shape no matter what the weather. There is also a good driving range and chipping/putting area to warm up. The half way house is easily accessible between the front and back nine so a quick stop is easy before hitting the back nine.
