Length 6707 yards
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.

Great course!

Love this golf course greens are fast and true when you play early. in the day, but the only problem playing later in the day the greens are totally different. The lack of golf etiquette of todays players are horrible especially when it comes to fixing their own divots and raking a sand trap when you find yourself in one! Think of all the players that are golfing behind you. Pitiful.

Hats off the the golf course superintendent, greenskeeper and all who have a hand in getting and keeping this golf course in pristine condition.

Beautiful course

Was able to get it on a hot deal, otherwise kind of expensive for a park district course. Course(s) were in great shape, well watered with the drought we’re in. Group in front of us had a walker they allowed us to play through and we were able to finish 18 in about 3 1/2 hours. Gear sand traps.

Great course and conditions.

Friendly staff and rangers. Great layout. Great conditions. Good bar and food options. Cart girls often around. Amazing GPS monitors with big screens and fly over videos of each hole. Only negative would be lacking a grass range, but that might have been only that day due to rain.
