Rating 72.9

Arrowhead Golf Club is home to a 27-hole course that is considered one of the best municipal plays in the Chicago area. The holes are divided into the South, East, and West nines, which can be played in three different 18-hole combinations. Water hazards appear on 17 of the 27 holes and there are 77 bunkers strategically placed throughout. Each golf course provides a challenging but different round. Although the club opened in 1927, the South/East Course was renovated in 2011. The course retained its challenging character but it was made more playable for a range of skill levels. In addition to the water and bunkers, there are mature trees throughout the course. Arrowhead G.C. also boasts a comprehensive practice facility that includes a lighted driving range, putting green, chipping green, and bunkers.

End of season

Course as always was in great shape. Even though greens were being aerated they were lightening fast. Always a pleasure, especially given it was 11/10

Nice course, but tough!

The greens are incredibly fast, which takes some getting used to - you don’t want to be above the hole! Some really tight fairways, especially on the East course. I will definitely make adjustments when I play there again.

Had been wanting to play here for a long time, But it was always too expensive for a retired guy that plays 4 times a week. It was well worth the $55 we got it for and will play again next chance we get!
