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.

Rude employees
Decent course and layout, probably overpriced. The biggest factor for the rating is experiencing a disrespectful employee who also did not care that he was acting disrespectfully. There are much better options and employees like this tend to ruin the whole golfing experience.

Enjoyable outing
Played 9 with no one in front or back of us. Teeboxes fairways and greens in great shape. Several challenging holes make it a fun course. Friendly staff and clean carts added to our enjoyment
