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.

Recently improved.

There are 27 holes. They completely redid two last year as well and the sand traps. For a public course, it is always in above average condition.

There's a good deal of elevation change for a course in the midwest making it fun.

Overall, the course is fairly forgiving (except for #1 on the east course: trouble on both sides.)

Great clubhouse/bar.

Great Course, mainstay on my list

This isn't the first nor the last time that I will hit around on this course. The staff is always very friendly and the course is in great condition. There is plenty of challenge coming from the overhanging trees and few water features. Forest preserve lines more than a couple of the holes. Challenging for some depending on your swing tendencies. When you get a chance, take a spin on this track.

Beautiful Courses and Lay out

Loved playing 2 of the 3 nine hole courses. The courses were absolutely pristine from the 1st hole to the last. A combination of forgiving and challenging holes making it very fun to play. I think they should combine 2 of the courses to make an 18 hole course and one 9 hole course. There was a lot of confusion with our tee time due to selecting to play 18 wholes. It seemed to confuse the reservation system since the courses are listed as 3 nine hole courses. We prepaid for 18 but the system reserved us for only 9. It happened to multiple reservations and the staff at the Pro Shop handled the situation effortlessly and were able to accomodate us for 18 holes.
Can't wait to play here again!
