ARLINGTON LAKES GOLF CLUB

The rolling fairways weave through mature oak and maple groves in Chicago's northwest suburbs, where architect Dick Nugent carved thoughtful risk-reward opportunities into surprisingly varied terrain for Chicagoland. Water hazards lurk on half the holes without feeling forced, demanding precise iron play on approach shots that can make or break your round. This daily-fee gem proves that municipal golf can deliver both strategic interest and conditioning that rivals many private clubs in the area.
