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 public course
you really can't beat this for a public course, plays as well as some private courses. Staff very friendly and accommodating.
Awesome course
Arrowhead is one of the best public courses in the area. It's a bit pricey for non-Wheaton residents ($52 to walk during the week), but I love going there about 2-3 times a year. We got a can't-pass-up deal for 9 holes and it was an awesome day.
Great course, sensational conditions. Country-club like without the country club fees.
Nice Course
I have played here before and that is why I come back. Nice course and very well maintained. Today's round was very challenging due to the high winds!! The course is very challenging, add the windy conditions and you have an extremely difficult course! But I'll be back!!!
The only negative I have reflects the GPS on the carts. They seem to be "faulty". And I have experienced that in the past...HUM!!!
Beautiful course
Beautiful course. Club house is impressive. Grounds well maintained
nice course, good value and excellent food
My girlfriend and I really enjoyed this course. It was challenging but not unfair. Fairways and greens were in great shape. Pretty natural surroundings Food in the clubhouse was outstanding. Fried chicken dinner for $9.95 and $4 glass of wine on Sunday- can't beat it. I hope to go back soon.
Wheaton Wonderful
I have played the South nine before but the East nine was new to me. I played one of my worst rounds of golf in recent history and still came off the course enjoying myself. An awesome course but you'd better keep it in the short stuff if you want to avoid some tough lies.
Arrowhead- C rated
Staff needs to be more friendly and engaging. Tee boxes were in poor condition. Course fairways were excellent, under wet conditions. Greens were good
Excellent conditions and value
Arrowhead's 9-hole east course was in excellent condition with some very scenic holes. Staff was very friendly and well organized. We plan to return.
A Good Round for 9 holes
Spent an enjoyable afternoon with two of my sons with 9 holes of golf. The pace of play was very good, as we finished our 9 in a little over 2 hours. Didn't feel particularly rushed, but we moved along. The course was in good shape. A number of the holes feature water on one side or the other. There's also a number of fairway bunkers on other holes. We enjoyed the challenge and look forward to playing the other two 9 hole courses at Arrowhead.
Perfect Day
The weather was ideal and with the exception of one tee, the course was in excellent shape. Large, super fast greens made for challenging, but fair putting. Terrific scenery, beautiful clubhouse, and friendly staff made for a most enjoyable round of golf. Strongly recommended. Will definitely be back soon.
Beautiful
Friendly staff and great club house. Course was beautiful. Only disappointment was the 2 slow men that didn't let us play through.
Really well kept up this year
We got a hot deal for 9. Amazing price!
Coarse looked beautiful we all were saying. Pace was a little slow. You should try to send walkers behind riders and I didn't see any rangers monitoring.
Enjoyable round
The course was in great shape and the staff was very accomodating
Greens
The course was in amazing shape and the greens rolled very true. The only caution I have for someone playing here is the green speeds and slopes. Im usually a straight bogey golfer, but I definitely felt over matched by the greens. I wouldve been fine with one or the other, but the severe slope and speed amplified the mistakes of my already not awesome putting to a point that I felt like I had no chance. If youre looking for a great quality course this is it, but I think it plays much tougher than its course rating and slope would indicate.
Great day!
This course was really awesome. The GPS enabled carts were terrific, the staff was laid back and friendly, and the course was in great shape.
Arrowhead golf course
Great course. Still in great condition after it rained all morning. True greens. Challenging, but fun
Arrowhead
The course was great. Greens very good. The two yahoos they paired us with made it either very frustrating or very amusing depending on which attitude I took
Arrowhead
Challenging course with tall rough right now. Traps have very good quality sand. Fairways in nice shape
Quick Round of Golf
The course was in great shape. We were able to sneak in a mid-morning round of golf complete in 3.25 hours.
Great Facility
Very nice course, in great shape and the GPS in the carts is an awesome feature.
