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.

Where are you Ranger

Goal was for a quick 9 holes after work. No ranger and a 2.5 hour 9 hole round. Just need to push the players that are taking 6 practice swings and lining up all putts. Be courteous of a twosome behind.

Don’t think I’ll be back

Overall not a good experience. The staff was very friendly and acknowledged it was playing slow but did nothing about it. For the price to play here the greens are horrible. First time playing this course and also my last. Too many better choices out there.

Lots of fun

Played the East 9 with my son on his graduation weekend. The course was very wet because of all the rain received recently, and the grass hasn’t really started to grow yet due to very cool temps, but otherwise the course was in really nice shape. It was a longish nine due to cart path only… 2 hrs 40 mins. But we didn’t seem to be waiting much at all. Last time I played Arrowhead was 20 yrs ago… it’s completely changed and a really nice public golf club now!
