About

Holes 18
Type Public
Par 72
Length 6622 yards
Slope 134
Rating 72.7

There are 27 holes of championship golf available at Arrowhead Golf Club in Wheaton. The course spans over 220 beautifully wooded acres with not a home in sight. The holes are divided into three nines that can be played in different combinations. Throughout the entire golf course, water comes into play on 17 holes and there are 77 strategically placed bunkers. No matter what course you choose, you'll come across several challenges but they can all accommodate a wide range of skill levels. The West/South combination has several formidable water holes, including the seventh hole on the West, which is nearly an island green, and the South's par-3 fourth hole where you will have to carry a massive lake. In addition to the golf course, Arrowhead boasts a practice facility with a lighted range, putting and chipping greens and bunkers

Worth it.

Terrific and challenging. One of the few courses in this price range that are worth the cost. Unfortunately rain shut us down early, but got a rain check that I will definitely be using.

Country Club Quality

Arrowhead is essentially a public country club. Great shape and facilities. Staff is high quality across the board. Only critique is the quality of beer on the course. For goodness sake get some Two Brothers, Revolution and Half Acre in there!

Best value in the area

I've played most every course in the area and Arrowhead is probably the best value by far. The course conditions are very similar to Cantigny, no exaggeration. Don't be confused with the difficulty or type of course, I'm just saying the overall condition of the course (fairways, tee boxes, greens...) is right in line with Cantigny. The course makes you hit some good shots, but it's not overly challenging by any means.

Always enjoy arrowhead

Been dry for past month. Seemed like greens were a little dry. Hence fast. Overall though still one of my favorite courses in western burbs. Pace was great finished 30 minutes ahead of pace is no one in front and not pressed from group behind us. We were just a twosome though. Beers expensive on course but that's the western burbs. Still highly recommend for facilities, clubhouse, and especially course.

super friendly and helpful!

I absolutely love this course. The people were extremely friendly even though I received a hot deal on golfNow. The starter was extremely nice and let us start a couple minutes before our tee time. The course had a moderate experience level. The pace was very good until about the 7th hole and then there were some people backed up on a par 3 hole, but other than that it flowed pretty good.

Course was in great shape

I had a great experience at this course and plan on playing here again very soon. The pace of play was fantastic, under 4 hours for 18 and we barely waited on any shots. No complaints about any course conditions at all. Very pleased and highly recommend the course.

The course was in great shape and the facilities are excellent. Although the standard rates for 9 and 18 are a little high, the GolfNow discount was excellent.

Great Greens, Fast

Course, Staff and Amenities were outstanding will definitely make the trip back up North to play this course again. Bunkers have the professional white sand - very fluffy not like the typical brown beach sand.
