West/East at Arrowhead Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
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, challenging course
Great track, manicured course. Long par fours, short pars, very challenging for my 7 handicap. Played early 6:15 wth zero wait anywhere.
Challenging for a hacker like me!
Unforgiving if you miss the fairway with lots of forest and long, thick rough. You get a little break in the sand as it's not too dense. Greens are fast and steep with most of them sloping from back to front. GREAT Hot Deal on this course. Got the same tee time next week!
Great day
Course in great shape. Pace of play was good- 4hr 10 min.
Always Enjoy Arrowhead
Enjoyed our round at Arrowhead. Nice course, excellent driving range and clubhouse.
Arrowhead golf
This is a nice beautifully kept hilly with large trees on many holes. Greens are fast especially for public course.
Some holes are relatively easy if you hit it straight. The course is a challenge for all yet even short hitters will be able to score well on many holes.
Great day and great keep pace rules.
Great dsy
Ever though we had some rain the course was good and the staff was great even offering us rain check iat any time if we decided not to complete the round
Great Course, facilities slooooooooow
If you are good with a really good course, friendly staff and a 4.5 to 5 hr round, then this is the course for you. The rough was US open high and penalizing, greens were fast and challenging. Pace of play is just accepted, which sort of fits as the course is really friendly and relaxed.
Go Play it.
Great Course
We had a great time and course was in great condition.
Great condition for this time of year
Greens and fairways are in really nice condition. Sand traps not bad either.
Quick Greens
Beautiful course. Well kept even this early in the season.
The tale of two nines
I thought that the South nine was challenging but fair. I felt that the East course was not fair. Too many greens were on the top of a hill and not visible on your approach shot. On the day that I played the wind was also in your face on this shot, which added to the difficulty. Also, the greens were much tougher on the East course. Note - check the prices at the course before you buy on GolfNow. As Seniors we would have paid less at the course.
ArrowHead West-South
A scenery of this golf course is falling into the top 2 or 3 in the area and great sand bunkers that you can find. We got a great deal from golf now in the Fall,
very enjoy of it......
Price
This is a great course but I never play it because it is over priced. You should be able to ride for about 50 bucks for 18 holes not 70-80.
Great course
Terrific course and a very friendly staff. Good was excellent in the club house and server was superior.
Top 5 public golf course in Chicagoland
Greens were extremely quick. My guess is they were running around 12 on the stimp. Bunkers were AMAZING, the sand was as pure as I've seen at any course public or private in Chicagoland. Great layout. Clubhouse is immaculate. 5 stars in my book.
Great Experience!!!!
Booked an early Monday morning round at a great rate on Golf Now. Course was in PERFECT shape. Lightning fast greens running true as a pool table. Fall colors starting to come in. Used the locker room to shower before heading off to work. I love this course and the facilities. One of Chicago's best
Why me?
Everything and everyone was great except the ranger. We waited for the groups in front most of the round. The one hole where the guys I was paired up with we're looking for their balls in the trees, the ranger decide to drive up to me only and say "you need to pick it up NOW, other people want to finish too". Those were the first and only words he said to me. It almost spoiled my round but Chris and Dave were super cool and even gave the ranger some beef about letting a twosome cut in front of us on the 16th. There were 2 to 3 groups on the tee boxes for the last 2 holes. Incompetent and inconsistent.
Great course
Very nicely manicured. A pleasure to play. Will be back
