West/East at Arrowhead Golf Club

About
Arrowhead Golf Club in Wheaton offers 27 holes of championship golf. The entire course features water on 17 holes and 77 strategically placed bunkers. The course is divided into three nine-hole courses that can be played in different 18-hole combinations. The club opened in 1927 but two of the golf courses, South and East, were renovated in 2011, followed by the West nine a year after. The golf courses are all equally challenging but they each have a unique character. The West/East Course starts with the shortest nine but it also has one of the most intimidating water holes, the par-3 seventh, which has a green that is almost entirely surrounded by water. With such a challenging variety of courses, it is not hard to imagine why Arrowhead G.C. is considered one of the best municipal golf courses in the Chicago area.

Great golf
Course was challenging but very fair. Great variety of holes. Great condition and great pace of play 3:50 18 holes at 7:15 am Labor Day! One of the areas best.
Great course but challenging fairways
Great weather, course in great shape, pace was decent.. Rangers on course help move groups along.
Great clubhouse, bar, outside area.
Tight fairways but fun!
Tight fairways, but makes for a challenging and fun golf outing.
A WEDDING VENUE NOT A GOLF COURSE
Title says it all.
This track has the potential of being a very nice course. If management was interested in setting up the course for fair play. Rather than saving on maintenance and course set-up.There is no second cut on the fairways. Fairway and 3.5"-4" ruff. On the greens no collar. Green and 3.5"-4" ruff. This is not difficult. This is unfair. Not fair to miss a fairway by 3 yards or a green 1 yard and be in ruff.
As most all the reviews indicate. This is a very nice wedding venue. If you're looking to get married this is an acceptable choice. If you are looking to play golf. Move on.
It is evident that management prefers to make money on the weddings not on golf play.
I have played this course 3 times. There are some nice holes. Hoping that the set-up would change. Not. I play a lot of golf. At many different courses. This is one course that is not fun unfair and I will not play.
Best Greens around
hands down fastest and smoothest greens around. The entire course is in better condition then most country clubs.
A beauty of Dupage County
A great, well maintained course with beauty and challenge everyone will love.
Slow Play at Arrowhead
Waited on every shot. 2:30 for front 9. Ranger told us they had an outing in the morning that started a half hour late and a few groups got stacked up on the first tee as a result. Ranger was doing his best to move slower groups along but packed course made that difficult.
Love Golf!!!
The staff was very friendly and very accommodating. I think they need rangers on the course and if they had them, they weren't doing their job. Even though we were a twosome, the course was very backed up. At one point, there were four groups on the sixth hole. I am an experienced golfer and this was uncalled for even for a twosome.
