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

This course was in very good condition even for our area not having rain in awhile.

My first impression was wow look at the staff...they were all over this course to make it the very best it could be for its customers. I haven't seen that attention to detail at a golf course all summer. Good job!

One of my favorites!

Love playing at Arrowhead. The course conditions are always in great condition. Some holes require an accurate tee shot while others have a very forgiving fairway. Only issue was the group in front of us was playing very slow, thankfully the marshal told them to pick up the pace and they did.

27 top notch holes

This is a must play course it is in unbelievable shape. Interesting holes have to think before you hit your shot when looking at the GPS and it says your 115 out believe it or come up short. Great course to have fun. What was more interesting then the course was the incredible price we got this course for on golfnow

Beautiful, but busy

Course is in amazing shape. Booked this deal to play at $44. They have 27 holes here, but starters weren't doing a great job of spreading people out. We were a twosome thrown into the middle of a packed outing. They kept starting everyone on the south course so the front 9 took over 3 hours to get through. The staff was trying to keep things moving and apologized to us, but seems it would've been easier to start us somewhere else. I would love to play again, but I'll probably avoid going Thu-Sun after talking to staff.

Great course condition, Bunkers perfect, Greens well maintained

Great course! Will recommend to anyone. Had 6:15am Tee time. Straw of bad luck as maint. crew was consistently in our range and didn't stop when playing (Driving and Putting) through first 9 holes. Every hole contended with maint crew within 150 yards.

Regardles of bad timing: Great course and recommend to anyone one.

Arrowhead East course 9 holes

The course is in great condition and we like the East course better than the West. You can't drive your golf cart out to your car. You have to leave them in the bag rack and drive your car up. Will go again!

great, challenging course

This was my first time playing here and it was in great condition, challenging, and well worth the price. Once you play a corse like this you realize just how bad some other courses are. If your looking for a great day of challenging golf, this is the place.

They kept everyone playing READY golf....Which was great!!!....because the course was quite busy!!!

I liked that we saw rangers riding around making sure everyone was playing READY golf.....Which could have easily made for a 5 hour round....Which of course it did not...

The course is very solid for a municipal track, but the marshalls are obnoxious and overbearing trying to regulate pace of play!

Arrowhead has one of the finest clubhouses in the Western Suburbs, a fantastic place before or after a round to have a drink or a meal! The course is in outstanding shape, with particular emphasis on the quality of the sand bunkers. The rate was very reasonble thanks to GolfNow, but the standard greens fees are on the high side for this layout. One aspect of the course that needs to be fixed quickly is the approach of marshalls trying to regulate pace of play. I have played here twice, and both times, once for 18 holes and once for 9, we were "badgered incessantly" by the marshalls to pick up pace of play, despite the fact our GPS was showing we were right on pace. we explained this to them, yet they felt compelled to hover over us as we played, which made for a very uncomfortable atmosphere. I am a 7-9 handicap and my playing partners on each occasion were obviously capable as we finsihed these rounds within or under the preferred time. Arrowhead needs to figure out this issue because it takes away from the enjoyment of an otherwise beautiful golf course.

great course, though the staff was a bit of a turn off

Having never played here before, my friend and I didn't really know their system for getting started. The staff didn't really provide any direction so we had to do a lot of asking around. Once we were on the course, we were impressed by the course lay out and conditions. The grounds crew actually got in our way a couple of times though. Didn't feel rushed or like we were playing slow. We were annoyed to be ignored by the refreshment cart 4 times though, and thought that was pretty bad business on their part. I thought the sand traps were one of the highlights of this course-very well maintained. All-in-all, a very enjoyable round and will probably be back, especially at the price we payed.

From Goat Track to Gem!

I have lived in this area for many years. This place use to be a goat track back in the day. Over the years it has been improved, with the most recent improvements making this one of the best courses around. Greens were great, fairways were great, tee boxes were great, layout is challenging, but fair. Well worth the money...just don't tell anybody...I like the 3 hour and 15 minutes rounds!

Would have been a great day of golf. but the course became extremely backed up as Arrowhead tried to squeeze in as many tee times as possible that day.
