About this course
Arrowhead Golf Club in Wheaton, Illinois features three nine-hole layouts that can be combined into different eighteen-hole configurations, with the South/East combination being one of the primary pairings. The course was designed by Stanley Pelchar, a Chicago-area architect who worked extensively throughout the Midwest during the mid-to-late twentieth century. Pelchar's designs typically emphasized playability for a range of skill levels while incorporating the natural terrain features of the region. The property sits in the western suburbs of Chicago, where the gently rolling terrain characteristic of northeastern Illinois provides modest elevation changes and mature tree-lined corridors. The South and East nines offer a traditional parkland experience with tree-defined fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and greens that require thoughtful approach play. Water features come into play on several holes, adding both visual interest and strategic considerations for shot placement. As a multi-course facility, Arrowhead serves a diverse membership and welcomes public play, making it a fixture in the DuPage County golf community. The combination of three nines allows for variety in routing and playing experience, with the South/East pairing providing a full test of golf that reflects the straightforward, honest design principles common to Pelcher's work. The course maintains its role as an accessible option for golfers in the western Chicago suburbs seeking a well-maintained layout without the formality of private club golf.

Getting there
Arrowhead Golf Club sits just thirty minutes west of Chicago's O'Hare International Airport (ORD), accessible via a straightforward drive through the rolling suburban landscape of DuPage County that gradually transitions from urban sprawl to the manicured quietude of Wheaton's established neighborhoods. For those arriving by private aircraft, Chicago Executive Airport (PWK) in nearby Wheaton offers an even more direct approach, placing you minutes from the club's gates.
