Course Highlights
Bartlett Hills consistently earns praise for lightning-fast, perfectly sloped greens that rival country club conditions at a great value. The mature tree-lined layout, friendly staff, and well-maintained fairways make it a standout hidden gem in Chicagoland.

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.

Hard to enjoy a 5 1/4 hour pace of play

Hard to enjoy a 5 1/4 hour pace of play. I may be wrong but I’m not sure the course superintendent understands, when you combine 3 to 4 inch rough with fast, firm, undulated greens, narrow fairways and a lot of trees the average golfer is going to struggle and it will make for a long day on the golf course for everyone. The course is in pretty good shape, but it seems like they’re getting ready for a Major? Maybe we wouldn’t have had to wait on every hole if the conditions were more playable? Cut the rough to a height where you can find your ball before the 3 minute limit. Water the greens and maybe not cut them so short. This will speed up play probably the most. Golfers will be able to hold the greens more on approach, avoiding bringIng multiple clubs to the green while also limiting 3 and 4 putts. Less strokes = faster pace, better scores, and happier golfers all around. I like this course but will avoid it in the future on the weekends.

The greens were so fast it was like putting on glass. However, the rough was so tall and thick we couldn't find some balls we knew where they landed.

Bartlett

Great conditions! Other than some work being done on a couple holes but it didn’t really bother us. Starter did say some days they skip the hole being worked on, its

probably something to consider?? Greens rolling pretty fast

Nice course overall.

Very nice course. Only complaint is the construction being done right at some of the tee off locations. Workers did not seem to care to move to allow tee off.

Great course, 2nd time playing it

I really like Bartlett Hills! This was my second time playing it in 3 years, and I was as happily pleased with it. The course is very fair, very different types of holes, and fun. It's well maintained and has a great clubhouse, range, new carts, etc.

A very well maintained golf course

This is our new go to golf course in my friend group. Greens are always good, GPS carts are awesome. Looking like they are putting some money into the course. I think new drainage and the starter said about half the bunkers are new which we noticed because they had actual sand

Impressive

I play here a few times a year and I’m always impressed with this golf course. Greens are maybe the best in the area and a wide variety of holes that test every golf club in my bag.
