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.

Pretty, generally fun layout. Good conditions. Friendly staff. Clubhouse, restaurant and bar all first rate. A little pricey, but worth any hot deal price.

Quality establishment

Only played here a few times (pricey), but have enjoyed them all. Just wish Arrowhead would allow singles to book thru GolfNow. If so, I'd play more. Took my wife out for #60, so I told her I'd take her somewhere nice. She liked it, but the soaked fairways cost her score to add up.

Beautiful and challenging course.

it was our first time. the carts have a GPS which was cool. But it only tracks you by each stop you make. The restrooms at hole 7 was like fancy but super awesome.

I'll be coming back.

Ridiculous Greens. A few are totally unputtable.

The course has just too many greens that are un-puttable.

#3 on the South nine is unputtable. Back left hole location, ball directly below the hole such that putt is directly uphill. No problem, right? Wrong. Ball comes to rest near the hole and re-traces its enite lenght back to your feet. The slope and greens cutting/rolling are over done by and extreme on this hole.

#4 and #6 on the east nine are unputtable. Balls barely touched to just start it the ball rolling putt off the green and down the fairway on #6 and on #4, the ball just won't come to rest as it slows near the hole and then continues rolling and rolling.

I'm all for fast greens. I'm all for requiring a fairway shot to be in the right place on the green. But there are too many greens that are "clown's mouths" like a miniture golf course trick show.

Someone needs to objectively look at these greens and fix them. Until then, stay away!!

Best experience in 5 years

This club can "touch Em all". A real home run. Top to bottom best public club in the area. Mid September conditions were pristine from tee to green. Greens were perfect and the locals apparently care enough to repair ball marks. Thank you. Can't say enough good things about this place. My hat is off to all employees and especially the greens keepers. Well done.

Well maintained but greens difficult

The course was in excellent condition however the green speeds and hole locations were unfair. A couple holes had uphill putts where the ball would actually roll backwards because of the severity of slope and speed. I would give this course another shot however because the greens were the only issue I had.

Arrowhead

I wish I lived in swheaton to mtake advantage of this course. Played 9 with my wife at 4:30ish on Sunday inless than 2 hours.

Price for non-residents is not a fair price and a $7 charge as a booking fee by golf.now is ridiculous.

great value - excellent facilty

From the pro shop, starter and beverage cart, all staff was very friendly. Course was in very good shape with the exception of a number of unraked bunkers but that is more a fault of other golfers on the course as we were playing in the late afternoon. Greens roll like you are at a private club. Will be back to play again.

Ready Golf

For a course open to the public it played surprisingly fast. We (4-some) played South / East which kicks off with a par 5. The hole was cleared before our 2:30 tee time. A 2-some teeing off at 2:45 didn't catch us until the 6th hole. Compliments to the pro-shop and starter for adequately spacing tee times. It was refreshing to see a ranger a few times regulating pace of play. We were off the course by 6:15 (3 hrs. 45 mins.)

Good Solid Course, and Solid conditions

Though they get a lot of play, Arrowhead is in pretty good shape. We have played twice now, both times at 3:30PM, so you expect the greens to be a little ratty and beat up. The rest of the course is spectacular. Not a weed to be found, with thick and plush rough and well conditioned fairways. Bunkers are better than some private clubs. Halfway house had fair prices, I didn't feel ripped off. The rack rate of $72 is a bit high, but this is definitely an above average public course.
