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.

Disappointing

I usually don't complain like this, but when golf rates are soaring like they are now, I feel compelled to say something about the overall experience. I played as a single on July 11th with a twosome. We teed off at 12:20 and didn't finish our round until 5:25. There was literally no reason why our round should have taken this long, but I finally realized on the back 9 that a twosome, of all groups, was playing EXTREMELY slowly two groups in front of us. On the 14th hole, I noticed that there was 4 empty holes in front of them. That is absurd and it should never be allowed to happen on a nice golf course. These two slow players obviously didn't have any clue and didn't realize they should let faster groups play thru them. If only a ranger could have said something to them at the turn. Also, on the 6th hole, there were two workers doing maintenance who literally stood in the fairway while we were teeing off. And they were standing at the exact location where our drives would land, yet they didn't get out of the way in order for us to have an open fairway. This is completely unacceptable. I've been playing Barlett Hills for years, but this experience has made me hesitant to play it again.

Hidden Gem

Fun and Challenging course...Greens can get a little tricky with some of the pin placements, but that just might mean I need to get out there more to learn them better! Grounds Crew keeps it in really good shape. Doing a little construction on some areas, but nothing that impedes play. Whole Team, from Pros to Starters and Shop Teammates to Hospitality Staff, is Friendly and helpful! Great Food and Drink in the Bar...Chef and BTs do a great job! I'll be back soon!

Rain

The rains came to stay on #12 but I was afforded a rain check for the remainder. Thanks Bartlett Hills! Also the woman in the halfway house couldn’t have been nicer!

Birthday Fun

I golfed here 6/24/24 as a single for my birthday. The course was beautiful and in great condition. Back 9 is a bit tougher than the front 9. No golf ball cleaners on the entire course. Greens were very fast, but not ALL green were consistent. Golf carts have GPS and Bluetooth, very cool. Practice range is great. Staff is extremely friendly! I will definitely be back to golf here again.

Ive started playing here this year and I must say, the course is in fantastic shape when we played today! The greens were absolutely pristine and rolled true all day. It was a joy to putt on such well-maintained surfaces. Overall, a great experience and I highly recommend this course for anyone looking for a top-notch round of golf.

Bring back the ball washers and water jugs on the course

Really nice course but they haven’t brought back the ball washers. At least have them on some of the holes.
