Slope 134
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.

course needs work

I've played the 9 and 18 hole courses a number of times during the past 12 months. i was concerned playing the 9 hole course yesterday because it was in such bad shape. The fairways and greens were nowhere near the condition they were in last year. The course overall seemed to be neglected.

Arrowhead East and West - Great late season shape

This was our third time this year playing Arrowhead and the first time playing the West course (usually it's South and East). All three nines are great and we had a great time. One of our favorite courses to play and always in our rotation each year.
