South/East at Arrowhead Golf Club
About
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.

The South Course is very enjoyable.
Everyone at the Proshop was super friendly. The Starter was Al, and even though we didn't have to wait until the last minute to tee off, he was funny. The course was in great shape. The Rangers, especially Howard on the South Course, kept the pace of play great and did it with smiles and compliments of ball striking. At the end of the day, this was a great experience.
Great course and great staff-very helpful
Great course and great staff-very helpful. Pristine course conditions and great pace of play.
Amazing greens!
Some friends and I played here a week and a half ago, and were so impressed that we've been back twice since. Whatever nine is available, you will have a beautifully scenic course with awesome greens! Kudos to the greens keeper as they are rolling fantastic! Watch out for the yardage poles in the fairway, as they are color coded to signify if the pin is in the front, middle, or back of the green you are approaching (and not 100, 150 & 200yds) as that can make a bit of a difference... Hit'em straight!
Nice course
Got a $47 deal on golf now----about a 30% discount for a Sunday. Course has 3 nine hole courses. We were scheduled to play the east course after the south. Female ranger noticed the threesome in front of us was holding up my husband and me. When we were finishing our first nine, she checked and found the west course had no one on the first 3 holes, so she sent us there instead. We were able to play faster without the 3 slow guys ahead of us. We appreciated it! You don't have to be a par golfer to play fast and use golf etiquette!
Best course I have played all year
Have played some very nice courses this year but Arrowhead takes the cake. Love it and my buddies that came with were very impressed.
Nice course and very friendly staff.
Pace of play was somewhat slow as one of the nines was closed for maintenance. Course in nice condition and staff very friendly. I enjoyed it and was average value for the money.
Great course for a reasonable price.
My buddy and I have found a new home for 9-hole on a weekend day. Three different 9's are rotated for 9-hole play and each course is well maintained and a challenge for us seniors. A fun place to play at a value price.
Course is in Pristine shape.
Grat challenging course in great shape. My wife and I played 9 holes on the West and loved it. Great price on golfnow!
A very good course and in great shape.
The course has some very tough holes but fair and challenging. I would play here again.
Very green & lush
Pretty course with trees & some water, particularly on the east nine. Good condition & nice sand. Had not played course in 5 years & they have made great improvements.
3 great 9's - well groomed..little pricy for park dist.
3 great 9's with country club quality maintenance. Kind of pricey ( $79 non resident / cart ) for a park district course.
Really great course and would play it regularly if cost was more in line with other comparable in the area. ( $55-$60 )
Hard to beat
Nicely laid out. Very well maintained. Super friendly staff. Even other golfers are friendly and polite. Hard to beat!
Country Club Look & Feel.
The Wheaton Park District's Arrowhead Golf Course has hit the mark in creating a country club feel at a public course. The option of 3 9-hole courses give you a variety of play while keeping the 18 and 9 hole players content. (They dedicate one of the 9 holes just for those interested in playing a shorter game.)
The course is mature and beautifully set among tall Oak Trees. The fairways are well maintained, there is rough, water comes in to play on each course. The new club house has a great out-door patio, full bar with a nice menu as well as an upscale dinning area.
All this "country club fluff" comes with a price. This course's rates reflect the offering. I have golfed here for years. I like the course and enjoy playing it.....about once-a-year. The fancy new club house came along with staff that tends to be "snooty". For a public course, it is high-end. The deal I booked on GOLF.NOW was very good.
If you are looking to impress a client, want to host an outing with really nice venue for a party or banquet afterwords...Arrowhead is the place. Bring your wallet.
Great course!!
Only issue I had was when we finished I realized I was missing a club and when I mentioned it to the guy cleaning out the carts, since the clubs house was closed, he was of no help!
On a good note, I called the following day and the club was turned in!
Great course
Very well maintained. Creative design makes you think before pulling driver every time. Large greens make it easier to hit but often require shot over water on approach. Greens roll nicely with lots of elevation change but not too much break. Challenging but scorable, really enjoy playing here.
great place to play
greens were good shape and fairways were in good shape as well. I like this course a lot just hard to find it for a good price.
This course was in very good condition even for our area not having rain in awhile.
My first impression was wow look at the staff...they were all over this course to make it the very best it could be for its customers. I haven't seen that attention to detail at a golf course all summer. Good job!
Great Course
Great experience with Arrowhead. Very nice course and very friendly staff. All in all a great experience and can't wait to go back again.
Had a fun time playing the 9 hole South course
Was not too crowded on a Weds. afternoon.
Course was in great shape!
Neat layout and perfect difficulty for beginner to intermediate players.
One of my favorites!
Love playing at Arrowhead. The course conditions are always in great condition. Some holes require an accurate tee shot while others have a very forgiving fairway. Only issue was the group in front of us was playing very slow, thankfully the marshal told them to pick up the pace and they did.
