Rating 72.6

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.

For the money it's not that great of a course.

In prime time this place is near $80. for an extra $30-$40 go down the street to Cantigny. Or find much better courses for $80 in the SW suburbs. But then again the club house is pretty spectacular and the food there was excellent but who wants to pay for that when the course doesn't match that level of expectations.

The course was in good shape considering the lateness of season and weather previous few days. I would definitely recommend booking thru this site.

Recently improved.

There are 27 holes. They completely redid two last year as well and the sand traps. For a public course, it is always in above average condition.

There's a good deal of elevation change for a course in the midwest making it fun.

Overall, the course is fairly forgiving (except for #1 on the east course: trouble on both sides.)

Great clubhouse/bar.

Great Course, mainstay on my list

This isn't the first nor the last time that I will hit around on this course. The staff is always very friendly and the course is in great condition. There is plenty of challenge coming from the overhanging trees and few water features. Forest preserve lines more than a couple of the holes. Challenging for some depending on your swing tendencies. When you get a chance, take a spin on this track.

Beautiful Courses and Lay out

Loved playing 2 of the 3 nine hole courses. The courses were absolutely pristine from the 1st hole to the last. A combination of forgiving and challenging holes making it very fun to play. I think they should combine 2 of the courses to make an 18 hole course and one 9 hole course. There was a lot of confusion with our tee time due to selecting to play 18 wholes. It seemed to confuse the reservation system since the courses are listed as 3 nine hole courses. We prepaid for 18 but the system reserved us for only 9. It happened to multiple reservations and the staff at the Pro Shop handled the situation effortlessly and were able to accomodate us for 18 holes.
Can't wait to play here again!
