Arlington Lakes Golf Club
Rating Snapshot
About
Arlington Lakes Golf Club is situated amid the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Locals treasure the course as one of the area's hidden gems. At 5,331 yards from the back tees, this par-68 layout is on the shorter side but don't underestimate its level of difficulty. Besides the mature trees that frame many of the holes and 14 lakes that come into play, there are more than 100 strategically placed bunkers lurking throughout. The layout also features small, sloped greens that demand accuracy but you can take comfort in the fact that there are no doglegs. With strategic shot-placement and a bit of luck, there are some birdie opportunities available. The shorter length of the golf course will appeal to beginners but it's versatile for more advanced players to enjoy as well.

Cart path only when I played due to the rain day before. Fairways were mushy and muddy.
Solid course
This course was fantastic to play this time around. It was a warm day for October play so it was busy at the course however the pace of play was nothing short of excellent. Course was in good shape. The greens and bunkers weren’t in excellent shape but they played just fine. I’m personally a fan of the layout of this course because it sprinkles in a bit of everything in terms of distances and obstacles to account for. Overall, one of the best courses to get your moneys worth in the area.

Decent course for high handicappers
I’ve played this course quite a bit over the past few years. The reason I think it’s good for high handicappers is because it’s not very long and the holes are very straightforward. It’s not the best course in the world but it’s also not the worst.

Arlington Lakes Golf Club
Multi million dollar renovation is impressive. Lots of ponds makes it a challenge to score well, but, forces one to concentrate more. It was very fun and enjoyable playing this course. Recommend it to anyone. I will play here again.

great condition
I hadn't played this course since before 1990.
I played it 06/28/2023. I was so impressed I played it again 06/29/2023.(I left my gps there the day before. I had to pick it up so I might as well play it again, right ?
Short course - 5432 from the tips. Don't let that fool ya. Water gets in your head. It comes into play if you let it. It's called Arlington Lakes for a reason.
With this drought condition, the course is in outstanding condition. Greens are green and rolling. Fairways are green and rolling. Bunkers play well. The cuts between the rough and fairway are sharp and well-defined.
Nice course and the 2 times I played, the course was not crowded and i played in under 3 hours.
Enjoyable rounds.
Go get some.

Good.
This is a good muni. Great for a practice round. Weather has been hot and dry, course plays firm. Price is ok but nothing special.
