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 condition
Greens were aerated, but overall the course was in great shape.
Great layout
Great layout. Fast greens. Excellent conditions. Great amenities with food and drink options.
Fall Golf at Arrowhead a delight
Course was in great condition and despite the fall foliage and fallen leaves, pretty easy time finding our balls. Greens were recently aerated but still rolled true. Always enjoy our time at Arrowhead
Aeration Made Greens Tough
Course was in pretty good shape but they aerated everything. Before booking, it would have been nice to be notified. Aeration didn't affect the fairways but greens were tough because of it. Ball was bouncing around and putts were missed because of it.
Best public greens in the western suburbs
Played this golf course (South/West) this morning at 7:20 am after heavy rain overnight and the golf course was in excellent conditions everywhere. I expected the pro shop attendant to tell me cart paths only but they had no restrictions other than the 90° rule. Kudos to the golf superintendent and his staff for today’s golf course conditions. If you have not played this golf course, I strongly recommend it and be prepared to play the fastest public greens around!!!
Great layout variety with 3 - 9 hole courses. Their website can give you a decent overview of the entire golf course.
The East was tight and water came into play. We’re getting late into the season so divots are piling up. The greens are fast with some tricky breaks. The South was more open and a little less intimidating so the Driver came out more frequently than it did on the East.
The Brat was a nice size and the staff were all friendly.
I definitely want to play Arrowhead again.
Great Course!
Played the South Course and it was excellent. Course is well maintained good sand in the bunkers and place of play was good. Friendly staff and good clubhouse for after the round.
Need to water the course
Apparently, the course hasn’t been watered for weeks. The ground was so hard that I was afraid to injure my wrists. The layout is unmemorable. Way overpriced for what it is. Played the Preserve at Oak Meadows and Prairie Landing a few days ago, this is nowhere close to them.
Arrowhead South and East - Impeccable
Me and a great pal enjoyed a lovely round at Arrowhead yesterday. We got paired up with a very nice father and son and all of us had similar skills. Pace of play was great, fairways were like carpets and the greens were fast but true. Challenging and undulating but true. Can't wait until we can play again.
Better than expected
I know Wheaton is a great town and their golf course is no exception. Very well maintained course. Challenging and fun. Was a good experience overall. A little pricey for my taste but is worth it to experience at least once. I’d only come back if I needed to impress some out of town friends.
