Bartlett Hills Golf Club has been a favorite Chicagoland golf destination since it first opened in 1929. To keep the layout up to modern standards, it has undergone many changes over the years but it still has the same classic character. At 6,463 yards from the back tees, this traditional layout might not be long but it still provides a fair test. Rather than distance, the golf course demands smart play and accurate shot placement thanks to narrow, tree-lined fairways and several tricky doglegs. You might not have many chances to use your driver but you'll definitely get some iron practice. There isn't too much trouble off of the tees at Bartlett Hills G.C. But greenside you'll be faced with nearly 30 strategically placed bunkers and water hazards come into play on seven holes, which include some forced carries.

This course needs some attention

I played my first round @ BH on a Friday afternoon in the steam. The rates were fine for a 2pm tee time, with a cart.

The course wins the award for the most clover, ever. They need some weed killer at this place. The tee boxes and course need some attention, too.

I also thought I wouldn't find a higher priced gatorade than Whisper Creek, but I did. $ 4.50! That's nuts! At least there was a drink cart that made regular passes.

Enjoyable yet challenging course

I had a great time! The new golf carts are the best I've ever used. Have never seen or been in a golf cart that had streaming music service with speakers. The course is challenging, the staff is friendly. The grill/bar area is comfortable and welcoming. The food and service is exceptional! The only negative from my time was there weren't any ball washers, shoe washers or water on the course. Bartlett Hills and other courses alike need to bring these back. One can't play a clean game with a dirty ball or shoes. Water is essential in life and it's important to stay hydrated. Thank you for a great time!

Holiday golf

Playing on the Fourth of July can be challenging. The pace of play on this course was very slow due to just a couple of groups. There were big gaps and big bunches.This put a damper on it otherwise very good course experience.

Use to be a complete dump and that was a real shame cause the village owns a really cool golf course but wow has it changed the past few years. Greens are so fast! Fairways in outstanding shape and some bunkers have actual sand.

HIDDEN GEM

I’m almost reluctant to post a 5-star review about this hidden gem because I don’t want everyone to discover it and limit my opportunities to play here! It’s a challenging course with great optics and in excellent condition. The greens are fast.

Hidden Gem

Bartlett Hills is a hidden gem. The course is always in great shape, the layout is somewhat challenging and the greens are quick and in great condition. Great for weekly play or outings. The food is excellent. Best of all, the staff is always super friendly.

Great Course with Fast Greens

This was my first playing Bartlett Hills and I was very impressed by the condition of the fairways and greens. Fairways were perfect and the greens were fast and rolled true. For a Municipal course the condition of both the fairways and greens were very surprising. The one bunker I found had dirt instead of sand and I did see a few stones. The course layout is very interesting, the front is tree lined and tight, where the back opens up and is a little more generous off the tee. Both 9's have plenty of elevation changes with quite a few elevated tee boxes. Overall, I enjoyed the course and will be back again, soon!

Pleasantly surprised

Very friendly atmosphere in the pro shop/bar. Teed off at 11am and price for a Saturday was very fair. Played just over 4 hours. Surprised to actually see a ranger on the course. Fun front nine that is somewhat tight and open back 9. Greens fast and tees and fairways all in good condition.
