South/East at Arrowhead Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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.

Great course with great staff
I had a great time at arrow head. The course was in tournament shape when I played. The course layout was excellent and the conditions were phenomenal. The greens rolled very fast!! On top of the great golf experience the staff was very friendly and attentive. The cart girl was checking in about every 4 holes in case I needed refreshments or a snack. Overall, I had a 5 star experience.
Lost The Greens
I grew up at this course and I’ve watched them try to turn the greens into the fastest-in-the-area over the last few years. They’ve certainly done that, but at this point they have gone too far. The course was borderline unplayable, as I told the staff at the end of the round. “Some guys like fast greens, some guys like slow greens,” he responded. Well, not really, pal! The balls oscillate on the greens in the wind. The greens have to be patted down to place your ball. Combined with how hard the ground is in April, staff should consider dialing back its obsession with slick greens. It was a fun project, but it has gone too far. Play Cantigny if you’re considering Wheaton public golf.
Arrowhead GC
One of the best golf courses and greens in the western suburbs of Chicago. Highly recommend playing this golf course!!!
Great condition
Greens were aerated, but overall the course was in great shape.
Great layout
Great layout. Fast greens. Excellent conditions. Great amenities with food and drink options.
Fall Golf at Arrowhead a delight
Course was in great condition and despite the fall foliage and fallen leaves, pretty easy time finding our balls. Greens were recently aerated but still rolled true. Always enjoy our time at Arrowhead
Aeration Made Greens Tough
Course was in pretty good shape but they aerated everything. Before booking, it would have been nice to be notified. Aeration didn't affect the fairways but greens were tough because of it. Ball was bouncing around and putts were missed because of it.
Best public greens in the western suburbs
Played this golf course (South/West) this morning at 7:20 am after heavy rain overnight and the golf course was in excellent conditions everywhere. I expected the pro shop attendant to tell me cart paths only but they had no restrictions other than the 90° rule. Kudos to the golf superintendent and his staff for today’s golf course conditions. If you have not played this golf course, I strongly recommend it and be prepared to play the fastest public greens around!!!
Great layout variety with 3 - 9 hole courses. Their website can give you a decent overview of the entire golf course.
The East was tight and water came into play. We’re getting late into the season so divots are piling up. The greens are fast with some tricky breaks. The South was more open and a little less intimidating so the Driver came out more frequently than it did on the East.
The Brat was a nice size and the staff were all friendly.
I definitely want to play Arrowhead again.
Great Course!
Played the South Course and it was excellent. Course is well maintained good sand in the bunkers and place of play was good. Friendly staff and good clubhouse for after the round.
