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.

Beautiful course

Such a well maintained course with absolutely stunning views. So well kept that the fairways blend into the greens almost seamlessly. Great great value for the price. Can’t wait to go back! This will become one of the regular courses I visit throughout the year.

Perfect golf

Staff was great, course was in fantastic conditions. Tee boxes, fairways and greens were all in amazing shape. Unlike most public courses in the area with greens beat from ball marks not being repaired, Arrowhead's greens were in private club condition: smooth and true, perfect speed and more importantly no ball marks to dodge - truly kudos to the grounds crew and apparently the local members who are proud of their course and take care of it. Best condition I played all summer in over 30 rounds

Greens Are Back

I reviewed this course in April and said it was “borderline unplayable,” largely due to the courses obsession with ever-faster greens. Well, perhaps someone listened. I played again in August and for the first time in three years the greens were not cut so short that the sand under the grass was exposed. The greens were, in fact, nearly perfect. I shot 77 and I can’t blame any of my mistakes on the greens. Last time I registered my complaints with a staff member, he shrugged me off. In private, I think he took my concerns to someone in charge. Thanks for listening to your valued and concerned customers and making changes for the better. The course was borderline perfect, just like my drive on the treacherous West No. 6, which set up a tap in birdie.

Great Course

Course is challenging yet forgiving (wide holes). Fairways carry fantastically and the greens are fast. Had my longest drive on West hole 9, drove the ball 10 yards from the edge of the green! Will definitely play this course more in my future.

On an off note, the screen in my cart that tells hole number and yardage died 3/4 way through the round.
