West/East at Arrowhead Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Good Course
Decent course layout. Fairways well manicured. Greens very fast due to not being filled in with spring/summer grass.
Pace of play very slow partially due to two par three's within three holes.
Course is over priced.
Greens were very fast as the grass is still dormant!
Great Course in Chicagoland Area
Arrowhead is like a home course to my buddies and I. Tend to play the Course several times a month. Greens are fast and true! Was very impressed by the greens as they would equivalent several Private Club's in the Suburbs of Chicago.
Beautiful course
I’m a beginner golfer and the west 9 was a little tight, meaning the other players were hitting into my fairway frequently and close to me, so it was a bit unnerving for a newbie like me. I would definitely golf here again on the other side. The driving range was great, greens well kept.

Played 9 hole at first. I liked it so much that I went back and golfed 18. Love the course very challenging and beautiful.
Impressive all around
I should have played this course much sooner had I known how good it was. Beautiful layout and very well maintained. This is a must stop for any golfer in Chicagoland. I will definitely play it again soon.
Course in great condition
Excellent experience. Nice driving range conveniently located.
Public course, private feel, great value, fast greens!
I took up golf about 6 years ago and arrowhead was one of the first courses I ever played. It was a good and bad decision. Good because it gave me insight on how beautiful golf courses can be, bad because it set the bar so high for all the other courses I played after that. I would always compare to arrowhead and would rarely be impressed with the other courses I was playing.
6 years later arrowhead is still in the top 5 of my public course list in Illinois. Great value, Fast (sometimes diabolical based on pin position) greens, great course conditions, smart and fun layout, a friendly staff, and great food make me always want to play arrowhead.
Arrowhead, please don’t change. Kudos.
