This review is based toward the restaurant, server and chef. The golf course here is very nice. My server was sort of rude and not genuine, He seemed to not want to be at work on a Sunday afternoon I could tell... understandable, but still doesn't make sense to wear it on your sleeve as a server. I still tipped him more than he deserved because I intend to return and not order any fish next time. I've find that golf club restaurants seem to have decent food usually but not in this case. I ordered fish tacos, they came delivered face side down, making them really hard to pick up without the contents pouring out - which i figured out soon that it was probably because they were filled with watery over cooked (?)fish. I squeezed the water out of the 3 tacos onto the plate and probably could have filled a measuring cup about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cups high. The rest of what was inside of the fish tacos was more watery basic lettuce. This meal was really bad. The people at the next table watched and cringed. The dessert flight they served me contained two of the same white wine, more like a chardonnay rather than Riesling / prosecco / moscato. Maybe the bartender ran out of the proper wines, but I felt like my wine intelligence was insulted. To end on a bright note, The wings here were pretty good though! read more

I've played Arrowhead twice now and I must say, it's come a long way. The course is in great shape and the price is reasonable. They have 3 nine-hole courses, one of which I believe is used for people playing 9, but I guess it really depends on the day. I've played all three and it's hard to say which is better. The fairways are in great shape and the rough is thick, but well maintained. The greens are challenging, but fair and will test your patience. This is one of the better public courses in the area and I suggest trying to play during the week. Like some others in the area, it can get pretty busy on the weekends. read more

Have lived in Wheaton for over 30 years and have eaten at arrowhead many many times with family and friends for casual and special occasions. This past year however, we've had multiple poor dining experiences and have vowed to find a new favorite place to gather with family and friends. Poor service, stingy extras, and no follow through by management on simple easy to fix complaints. It's a shame but this great neighborhood local place isn't what it used to be. read more

Although we don't frequently go to arrowhead during the winter months we will occasionally stop in for a beer. during our most recent trip we had a new server, her name was Helen. She was so good with our kids, and was very knowledgeable on the menu. We will definitely be back soon! read more

In the winter, Arrowhead Golf Club opens up its golf course to cross country skiers, and it is a great time! You can rent good quality cross country skis, boots and poles for $10 on site, and basically have use of the whole golf course to enjoy this exhilarating workout. There are trails to follow, or you might want to go off and carve your own trail over a small hill. They do offer lessons as well, but cross country skiing is one of those activities that is not difficult to pick up, is not too uncontrolled or dangerous, and is a great cardio workout. They also recently built a new clubhouse on site, and it is beautiful and stately. I enjoyed lunch and a drink to cap off the afternoon, and it was good! They have a nice, large outdoor patio that overlooks the golf course, and even though I am not a golfer, I look forward to hanging out on the deck enjoying a cold one this summer! read more

I am reviewing the golf course and restaurant. Good: This is definitely one of the better public courses in the the Chicagoland area and the course is well maintained. The lack of dog legs make the course sometimes tedious but there are interesting and challenging holes. 4 stars Bad: For the price point the food in the restaurant leaves a lot to be desired. Lots of families, corporate events, and men who think they are Tiger using the back tees has a tendency to slow down play. 2 stars Ugly: Golf starters and a few in the pro-shop will make you feel like they are doing you a favor to play here. To be fair most of the folks that work their are very customer focused but a few bad apples can easily cause this perception. 2 stars Management are you listening? Clean up the menu & food quality, let the starters know that they don't own the course, and speed up play. read more

I would agree with the 4.5 overall average rating of this course. I couldn't choose between a 4 or a 5. i golf here pretty frequently since I live so close. 9 holes and 18 hole pricing match what you get. The people are pretty friendly and the facilities, being new, are great! best of all, the courses are beautiful, and well maintained. Restaurant food is pretty standard fare for a nice casual american joint. I would take advantage of their patio/outdoor seating while the weather i still good. It has a pretty nice view to the golf course. read more

Now I will be the first to admit that I am not the best golfer. I probably am not even a good golfer- but I can hit the ball and it usually goes about 150 yards on a good day. I've been to many golf courses in the area and Arrowhead is definitely one of the best in the suburbs. The course is a bit harder than I usually like them to be but it's a gorgeous course and it is very fun. They also treat you really well- especially a female golfer wannabe like me! read more

Before I start my review I would like to state that The Spicy Vegetable Flatbread Sandwich is beyond horrible. If I can spare somebody else from tasting it, this review is a success. At my table, the A Burger was ordered, the Spicy Vegetable Flatbread Sandwich, and the All You Can Eat Fish and Chips special. The Fish and Chips had a lot of nice fish, but overall the meal was incredibly salty and greasy. The A Burger was also salty and greasy, and the person who had it complained of a funny taste. The Spicy Vegetable Flatbread Sandwich was heavy, dry, greasy, salty, and somehow had less vegetables on it than the A Burger. At least that had some tomatoes, lettuce and onions on it. It was a heavy, biscuity flatbread, topped with tons of ricotta, mashed chickpeas, and tons of tiny papery fried onions bits. It had a tiny bit of broccoli, cauliflower, and some red bits may have been peppers, but they all were greasy and they tasted like bagged frozen vegetables. I also didn't detect anything that could be described as spicy. We went there for food and the live band, but they didn't really play, they just stood around for a long time. There also wasn't any room or occasion for dancing, so we were all pretty disappointed. read more

I am a bride looking for the perfect wedding reception venue... if you are looking for the perfect place and want to negotiate a few things in the package DO NOT EVEN LOOK HERE. I was in love with arrowhead for my wedding reception and was willing to book right away with them but asked to negotiate two minor things. They told me the prices were final because they will find someone who was willing to pay it and if I would like a discount I was "more than welcome to choose an off season date." I will not be booking my reception with Arrowhead just because of the poor customer service. I was not treated like a special bride and I got the feeling that my special day wasn't going to be catered to me. Again, DO NOT EVEN LOOK at this venue if you want a staff that is flexible. They are not. I will be taking my thousands of dollars elsewhere. read more

This is an excellent venue to have a suburban wedding reception. The event planners are very nice and helpful. Initially wanted our wedding in the city, but was out of our price range. This is a great alternative for a great price (the price range I marked was plate per guest..don't know about the restaurant). It's only few years old and you get an enormous amount of space, there's a lounge area for guests, separate cocktail space from the dining area & balconies! They only do one wedding at a time and can have up to 300 guests. Was concerned about guests having to drive after the reception, but they'll give you a list of hotels nearby that provide shuttles. Can't wait to have the wedding there, will update after the big day! read more

This review is for the banquet staff and facilities. My daughter and future son-in-law chose Arrowhead for their upcoming wedding. We attended the tasting dinner and, obviously, the wedding. All I can say is, "WOW!" The food was excellent. They chose two entrees, stuffed chicken breast and a strip steak. Both were excellent. At the tasting dinner, we all commented that the wine sauce on the steak was a little too citrusy. Their event coordinator said it was no problem. She would ask the chef to tone that down. When served at the wedding, it was, in fact, toned down and very good. More impressively, the steak was not over cooked, but nicely medium rare. Very well executed. Everyone I talked to uniformly praised the quality of the cooking. More importantly, the staff was exceptional. Of course, the wedding party table was served first, but it was really great how a swarm of servers were delivering plates at almost every table within mere minutes of the head table. None of that nonsense of the front of the room finishing their food, just as the rear of the room is getting their plates. AND, the serving staff was incredible. Always nearby, but not overwhelming. Regularly offering wine, water refills, and coffee and asking if there was something else they could do. Any request I heard was responded to promptly and with a smile, and fulfilled moments later. This is an incredibly run banquet facility managed by real pros. They wait staff is well trained and uniformly happy to please. I do not think you could go wrong. read more

have been to the restaurant here many times, and the experiences were fine. this past friday night was a different story. we sat on the veranda, and the service was beyond abysmal. our waiter, don, i think that was his name, rarely checked on us. we had to ask for silverware, napkins, and bread. after finally being able to order an appetizer, we waited one full hour to get it. fortunately, the manager removed from our bill. the table behind us had a different waiter, and seemed to be having a totally different experience. even though they were seated well after us, they got their food before we did, and never seemed to have to wait very long for wine refills. i think everyone in our party will think twice, before coming to arrowhead again. read more

This is a nice little course. Five of my friends and myself played here for my batchlor party and we had a blast. The course didn't seem that packed. We were not being pushed by anyone behind us, however we were being slowed up by the people in front. They only played 9 holes so it wasn't too bad. Gps in the carts. Beer cart driving around. They fairways didn't seem too narrow. All in all it was a really fun day. read more

I played here recently during an office outing. The golf course looks and feels very much like a real life country club yet at municipal course prices. It is a very nice course and very well maintained. The staff are very nice as well. If there is anything to complain about it is that the driving range could use some work. It is only mats which I would not like to play on if this was my regular course. It is also a very challenging course in its own right. read more

Today, having recently arrived in Chicago after a wet, cold and unexceptional winter in provincial New Zealand, my son and I made our way to Arrowhead Golf Course. Not to play - my game is not notable and I assure you I am not being fashionable modest about my shortcomings - instead we had luncheon on our minds. I've eaten here twice before and it has always been delicious, imaginative and hospitable. We elected to eat on the patio and how pleasant it was.... It is a lovely time of the year, warm but not sweltering, the trees ruffled by a slight breeze, the fountain playing, the green keeper grooming what was already immaculate. As I sipped my pre luncheon martini, I reflected on how wonderful the venue was. So pretty for a wedding I thought but as I have been married for decades now, not mine! To lunch. My son had the Hogan Reuben. It looked very generous and he said the meat was flavoursome and tender, crunchy cabbage , excellent bread encasing the package and the horse radish accomplement was eye wateringly fresh..... My seared tuna with an Asian slaw and ginger sesame dressing was simply marvelous. I relished it. We left in a very good mood and ready to face the afternoon head on. Luncheon is such a pleasant time of the day to eat, I can't imagine why Arrowhead wouldn't be every one's choice for a pleasant hour on the patio before winter sets in. read more

A group of 16 friends spontaneously decided to go to the restaurant at Arrowhead for dinner tonight, at about 5:30. We had no reservation and gave them no advance warning. I want to commend the restaurant staff for handling our party in an outstanding manner. Orders were taken promptly and drinks and dinner came promptly and accurately. The waiter cheerfully divided up the bill to our satisfaction. The whole evening at Arrowhead was a very pleasant experience and we'll be back. read more

They used to have good food. I think that has changed. I ordered a chopped salad it was terrible. So bad it should be taken off the menu. My husbands burger was good, but the others we were with ordered chicken which was passable. read more

Wednesday nights at Arrowhead are fantastic! They run a trivia program where the winners get great prizes. Each week is fun, but you really should check it out for a whole 'season' of trivia which usually lasts about 6 weeks. They give away a ton of free drinks, and have tons of fun. I love the emcee, G Spot and the DJ, N Visible Man. read more

My daughter signed us up for the FREE grilling classes!!! The restaurant's head chef taught the classes!!! Last week he made 7 different pizzas on the the grill, and including dough, in one hour!! AMAZING!!!! Today was desserts on the grill with a variety of different fruits and toppings!!!!! Each one was simple AND awesome!!! After the classes, we had lunch in the dining room, service and food, sandwiches, salads, and wraps all were great!! Can't wait to return! Will be back for Tues. night dinners when they have $10.00 bottles of wine!!! Hoping the classes will continue in fall!!! read more

Absolutely not an $80 course. Carts have GPS and they have a good hot dogs, but course itself is not that elite. Our foursome plays a new course every month, so we know what is out there, and for Arrowhead I'd be comfortable paying $45-$50. If you get a round at that price take it. It seems like they are maybe having the golfers pay for this gaudy banquet hall they built. The staff needed to relax a little as well. They aren't rude but rangers are on you like glue from the moment you tee off, so get ready for that. read more

Confession: I've been secretly planning my wedding for the last two or so years. When I got engaged in October, I knew that I HAD to have my wedding reception at Arrowhead. I'm happy, excited, and proud to say that I am! Kristina, the wedding coordinator, is so friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Love the fact that there is only one wedding reception per night. While the next year of wedding planning may be stressful, I know that my reception will be one (huge) component that I will not have to worry about, thanks to the very capable hands at Arrowhead. read more

Best grilled cheese I've ever had. Great meeting rooms....a real jewel for a park district public course. Love the prairie style architecture.....great remodel. read more

I just attended a wedding reception here and it was a lovely experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. The bathrooms were lovely, even when wearing a formal dress & nylons (you know what I'm talking about, ladies). The interior is very nice, very fitting for any formal event. read more

Very nice, well kept course that is challenging yet forgiving. The Rangers and pro shop employees were all very accommodating. Also has very nice practice facilities to use before your round...but the driving range is mats only, no green tees which I despise but oh well. read more

Went here on a Friday night after work with my wife. Was seated right away in the bar next to a bunch of guys just standing around yelling loudly, even though there were other empty tables around. Once they noticed my discomfort with their rudeness, they relocated to the other side of the bar. We ordered some drinks and appetizers and it was hardly edible and the drinks were below par. It's a very nice place, and can be done much better, but this place is just for the beer drinking drunks that want to scream at each other over loud music. Not a place to have a nice meal. Will not be going back! read more

Lots of variation amongst the 3 different 9-hole tracts. Nice challenge on each 9, with very well-maintained grounds. Greens are fast, just plan for it. only criticism - maintain the bunkers better. Two years ago they were a 10, now they're closer to a 5, still better than many but not up to the standard of all other aspects. read more

Very nice place to have a Bloody Mary very tasty in German you would say spitze! It is beautify located and you can just enjoy yourself.

This is one of my favorite places to grab a bite. It's a bit off the beaten path, so it's usually easy to get a table right away. You can sit in the dining room (a bit on the fancy/ formal side), in the bar, or on the huge deck (in the summer). The view is fantastic from the deck. The bar is lively, lots of sports action on tv's, and LIVE MUSIC every Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. It's mostly acoustic guitar stuff, and most that I've heard have been quite enjoyable. The menu is very good. I've had several of the salads, and several appetizers. The beef tenderloin sliders are fantastic. They recently took the buffalo burger off the menu, and this is why I took away a star- that was my favorite thing to order there! I like their other food too, but I miss the buffalo burger! They serve excellent pretzel rolls and whipped butter. read more

Alexis and the team at Arrowhead were great to work with! We booked our wedding rehearsal dinner at Arrowhead in the Clock Tower Room. Alexis was very helpful throughout the planning process and very accommodating with decoration setup for our special day. The food was great and everyone really enjoyed themselves! The only point of confusion was around the timing of our open bar, which ended up costing us a bit more than expected, but they did make an attempt to resolve the issue. I highly recommend this venue for your next event, but would recommend triple checking the paperwork and confirm the plans to ensure everything goes as expected. We will be back for future events! read more

We were here for a family wedding. The wedding was supposed to be outside, but was moved inside due to weather. The facility was nicely decorated. The wait staff was very friendly, with the exception of the bartenders who were gruff, but made up for it by heavy-handed pours. We were quite surprised at how good the food was considering it was wedding food. read more

I visited this place for a baby shower. It is lovely!! I never even knew it existed . Anyways, the place is fancy but not too fancy and very large. The room was simple yet elegant. The food was good, nothing extravagant. Somebody at the party tried taking the circle mirror center piece and one of the waitresses had to regulate. I mean come on; you could probably find that ish at Hobby Lobby for 5 bucks! Anyways, I will have to try the brunch, eating at a golf course never even crossed my mind. read more

Wow. I'm only reviewing the restaurant portion of Arrowhead but its great! A hidden gem I suppose. My boyfriend and I for some reason thought we could go out to dinner without a reservation in Naperville on a Tuesday night.. not being familiar with the area I expected that wasn't a big deal. But I guess everyone in Naperville eats out every single night of the week because holy moly our first choices were packed. I'm glad I happened to browse the Arrowhead menu a week earlier. I called ahead and the hostess was friendly and informed me there was no wait (around 7pm). We got there and there definitely was no wait.. maybe no one knows about this place? There were three other groups dining there besides ourselves. I had been eyeing the duck and cheddar grilled cheese, so I ordered that. It was good but I wouldn't classify it as "grilled cheese" because it was about 25% cheese and 75% duck/other stuff. I don't think I'd order it again but it was still good. My boyfriend ordered the bacon & beer pork tenderloin. WOW that was good. The pork was grilled perfectly. The bacon-beer butter sauce was heavenly! They should bottle that stuff and sell it. The dish would only be more perfect if there was more bacon beer butter sauce. Finally, it also came with an "herb potato cake" which is pretty much a large triangular tater tot. There were two and they were also insanely delicious. The price was more than right too.. especially for the bacon beer pork tenderloin. $17? Incredible. I'm definitely coming back here because I have my eye on the Disaronno Shrimp and Ravioli and the Johnnie Walker braised beef short ribs.. and the baby spinach.. and... and... OH and their fries are perfectly crispy/crunchy. Like McDonald's but better. If you like crispy fries which IMO are the only way to go. read more

Best value in the Chicago area for golf. the 3 9's give you some options for variety. The times I've played, there hasn't been an issue with the pace of play at all. Course is fairly well maintained. My only gripe is the driving range is off of mats. read more

What a lovely establishment! My boyfriend had his mother's surprise birthday party here in one of the exquisite party rooms room. The staff was extremely courteous, and not a single detail was overlooked. I loved that guests could wander outside on the balcony or take a walk along the golf course grounds. I also appreciated that my veggie option dinner was a choice with substance! Rather than a typical house salad, I enjoyed a hearty and delicious portabella mushroom burger! Talk about style and taste! read more

My family and I held a dinner here last weekend after my grandfather's funeral. We met with Lois earlier in the week to plan everything out. She was fantastic. She was very empathic to our situation and was not pushy at all when we were indecisive. Although we kept changing our minds with things, everything is absolutely perfect and just how we wanted it when we arrived. Thank you Lois for your hard work! read more

As you walk in you are greeted (very nice) We ate in the bar at one of the high tops. The Blackhawks game was loud enough to hear, yet still have a conversation. The best part (for me) was when I asked if they had a gluten free menu for me. They have it clearly marked right on their standard menu. Mark this a place we can go and I don't feel like a pain!!! The kale winter salad was certainly big enough for a full meal - packed with all the goodies they had promised. Gluten free beer (Prairie Path by Two Brothers) is on hand and the buffalo wings were spicy yet very good. My only complaint is our wings (our appetizer) came out with our meals. As a patron it somehow makes you feel rushed, and that you have an over crowded table. Everything was tasty - timing was just off in the kitchen. Our waiter apologized and was very attentative. We'll be back! read more

I play a lot of different courses throughout the US and this ranks on my top for a public course ever and for the price. The south course is way fun. The east course is way tough with fast greens but couldn't have been happier playing this course. 10/10 read more

One of my favorite wedding venues in the western burbs! They are really easy to work with and the banquet spaces there are great!

Some friends and I used there private room to have a Fantasy Football Draft. It took a few calls but once I got to the right person to schedule the event, everything was great. I was not a big fan of the nacho bar. We will be going back next year especially when they said they can do a buffalo wing bar. We are all looking forward to that. The sports atmosphere was perfect with a great view of the golf course. They are great people, that take pride in amazing service. read more
