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.

Overpriced

Arrowhead golf course is a great looking golf course as you see it from the outside. Playing it is a different thing in my opinion
They have 3-9 hole courses.We played the East-South courses not the West. On the East course they have 2 par 5’s at less then 450 yards and a par 3(#4) they set the pin in a make it or it’s rolling down farther then when you putted from. To bad the hole is over a water hazard and into a north wind that made it a good looking hole. The south course had a better layout of holes with some tight fairways and a lot of elevation.
I have played much better courses for half the price. Would I play here again? Sure if someone paid for it.

Fast difficult greens

Great layout that demands good course management and accuracy. Fast, sloped greens that require concentration and deft touch. Excellent conditions all around. $78 with cart is a bargain for a course of this quality, but normal rates may be higher.

Tremendous Value

Played nearly all the public and private tracks around the Chicago land area. I would say this is in the top 3 values in the area. Played the south/east combo. Every shot in the bag comes out at some point during the round. The greens, bunkers, and the overall course condition were stellar. This is a must play course.

Fun Time

South/East at Arrowhead is a great time. Some of my favorite holes are on the South course and is a great front 9 for the round. Arrowhead also has option of playing 18 holes with West/East. Believe it switches each month. Highly recommend playing at Arrowhead!
