West/East at Arrowhead Golf Club
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.

Horrible experience
Good course but it got a lot of problems.
1. It’s impossible to find balls unless u hit in the fairway
2. Lack of ranger, group in front plays extremely slow because they hit 4 ball per person, the group behind complains about how slow we play and how bad we are as golfer. If there’s a ranger it won’t happen
The round was cheap but it’s not worth it. Never going back to the course unless they hire a ranger.
Great nine
Course is always in great conditon. Both fun and challenging.
Great course!
Love this golf course greens are fast and true when you play early. in the day, but the only problem playing later in the day the greens are totally different. The lack of golf etiquette of todays players are horrible especially when it comes to fixing their own divots and raking a sand trap when you find yourself in one! Think of all the players that are golfing behind you. Pitiful.
Hats off the the golf course superintendent, greenskeeper and all who have a hand in getting and keeping this golf course in pristine condition.
Arrowhead south west
Great course and staff. Highly recommend. Fast, but consistent greens
Beautiful course
Was able to get it on a hot deal, otherwise kind of expensive for a park district course. Course(s) were in great shape, well watered with the drought we’re in. Group in front of us had a walker they allowed us to play through and we were able to finish 18 in about 3 1/2 hours. Gear sand traps.
Arrowhead Golf Club W
Excellent course, well maintained, great layout, good hazards of water and bunkers placements. Enjoyable scenery with trees and forest preserve along the sides.
Had a great time! Very helpful staff. Will definitely visit again.
Good course but unfriendly staff
Pros:
1. Amazing course with great layout
2. Great course conditon
Cons:
1. unfriendly staffs
2. course maintenance staff interrupt the pace of the game. ("accidentally" push the ball across the course & constantly interrupt the play)
