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 course and conditions.

Friendly staff and rangers. Great layout. Great conditions. Good bar and food options. Cart girls often around. Amazing GPS monitors with big screens and fly over videos of each hole. Only negative would be lacking a grass range, but that might have been only that day due to rain.

End of season

Course as always was in great shape. Even though greens were being aerated they were lightening fast. Always a pleasure, especially given it was 11/10

Nice course, but tough!

The greens are incredibly fast, which takes some getting used to - you don’t want to be above the hole! Some really tight fairways, especially on the East course. I will definitely make adjustments when I play there again.
