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.

Public course, private feel, great value, fast greens!

I took up golf about 6 years ago and arrowhead was one of the first courses I ever played. It was a good and bad decision. Good because it gave me insight on how beautiful golf courses can be, bad because it set the bar so high for all the other courses I played after that. I would always compare to arrowhead and would rarely be impressed with the other courses I was playing.

6 years later arrowhead is still in the top 5 of my public course list in Illinois. Great value, Fast (sometimes diabolical based on pin position) greens, great course conditions, smart and fun layout, a friendly staff, and great food make me always want to play arrowhead.

Arrowhead, please don’t change. Kudos.

Punched greens

Love the course but I would have liked to been told beforehand, so I can decide if I want to play with the aerated greens.

Rude employees

Decent course and layout, probably overpriced. The biggest factor for the rating is experiencing a disrespectful employee who also did not care that he was acting disrespectfully. There are much better options and employees like this tend to ruin the whole golfing experience.
