Review from Mary H.

I think they changed chefs because the food was a lot better the last time I went for lunch. I tried out the beef tenderloin sliders. Kids eat free on Wednesdays so that was a plus.

This is a first class venue to have your wedding reception at. I worked with Kristina and her team for nearly a year and a half and everything went off without a hitch the day of our wedding/reception.
Kristina and Arrowhead went above and beyond to accomodate us and make our night amazing. We have recieved tons of compliments about the venue, the food etc.
Having your wedding reception here is worth every penny! -
Review from Vicky R.
Streamwood, IL
A year ago and a half ago my fiance were looking for our wedding venue. After months of searching when we came across this one we knew right away this was the place to throw our big night!!!
I worked with kristina the whole time and she has always been nothing but a pleasure to work with. Great attitude and always helpful. Just a pleasure. The staff was wonderful, food was delicous and the evening at Arrownhead was perfect. I got nothing but great reviews regarding the venue.
The only thing that went wrong in the night was we had Ahi Tuna as a dish. My husband and I tried this at the tasting and it was perrrrrrrfect. And any fish lover would love it, but it was overcooked. This was not the venue's fault by any means. We went on overtime with taking pictures so they had to keep the food in the warmer, so we werent pleased that our dishes were swerved this way. Although it was our fault Kristina went above and beyond to make it up to us. More then she needed to, and we appreciate that so much.
My husband and I look forward visiting Arrowhead in the future for dinner at their restaurant. The steak, Ahi Tuna and CHicken were superb.
Arrowhead also has a yearly event they invite their brides and grooms to that serves all the embellisments that you might want to serve at your wedding. We went with the mini sliders and nacho bar. Also had the shrimp and mango sauce and other stuff too. All yummy!! So hard to choice from. And if you wantt o go all out they even offer a firework display for like $6K. TO uch for us to spend but nice as a option.
If I were to get married again, I would do it again at Arrowhead. Now if I could have just changed my photographer and DJ. -
Review from Ashley J.
Finally.. I Made reservations here one Summer Friday night after living in Wheaton for 25 years.. I've always heard a lot about the nice view/atmosphere on the patio which overlooks the golf course..
Service: mediocre, I ended up knowing our waiter from years back so maybe that's why we got decent service?
Food: Filet sliders = eh, sorta fatty for 'filet'
Nachos= cold, crusty cheese, canned beans- wouldn't get them again
Drinks: so-so wine list, not impressive.. don't remember the beer list but I think they serve Two Brothers?
Also- we stayed at the bar after dinner and the food/bev manager chatted it up with us- nice guy!
Pros: the live music was very good, and the patio at sunset during the summer is nice
I suggest Arrowhead for happy hour with friends, or maybe a few drinks on the patio during the summer season -
Review from Crys A.
Excellent! Since the renovation a year or two ago this place is highly, highly improved. My go-to spot; great circular bar, fully stocked. Good food. Thursday and Friday nights it's usually packed and that can be quite fun. Lots of locals, lots of chatting, great views of the golf course. Sometimes there's live music which is also fun --- trivia nights are cool, too.
SUCH an asset to Wheaton, especially for those of us on the southside of Roosevelt.
Great hosting, wait and bar staff. Attentive management. I recommend! -
Review from Dean H.
Glen Ellyn, IL
Took the family here the Mothers Day Brunch. Absolutely incredible spread of food in a beautiful setting. Breakfast selections included an omelette station, excellent scrambled eggs, incredible hashbrowns, eggs benedict, waffles, blueberry filled crapes, and crispy bacon. For a buffet it was extremely fresh as if it was made to order.
Lunch items included fresh shrimp, sushi, mini crab cakes, assorted salads, mosticholi, ravioli, baked fish, sauteed chicken breasts, and a carving station with turkey, ham, and roast beef... All very, very good.
Desserts were equally goods and they even had a kids section with chicken fingers, mini corn dogs and tater tots.
Price wasn't even that bad but the BIG DISAPPOINTMENT was the 18% gratuity added to the end of the bill. With a family of 8, this was an additional $60 for a nice waiter to bring us 2 Diet Cokes and keep our water filled.
REALLY? 18% FOR A BUFFET?!!
Put a damper on what was a great time and meal.

Review from Dianne S.
I had the pleasure of attending a friend's beautiful outdoor wedding ceremony and reception at Arrowhead Golf Club on 09.11.10.
The ceremony was held under a white wooden trelis. The wedding party walked down a red brick paved ailse. Guests sat in simpley white wooden chairs. It doesn't take much to make their new outdoor scene beautiful.
Not your typical wedding grub here, because it was actually delicious! Passed hors d'oeuvres of crab cakes, skewerzs of tomotoe, basil, and mozzarella.
Moving onto dinner:
creamy tomato bisque complete with thin ribbons of basil
mixed greens walnut salad with raspberry vinaigrette (my favorite vinaigrette of all time)
tender and juicy chicken breast stuffed with spinach and cheese, accompanied by well seasoned roasted potatoes and mixed veggies
Needless to say, i did not leave much room for dessert!
The servers were amazing. Attentive. Friendly. And they even served us with white gloves. Not too shabby!
We took advantage of their beautiful balcony overlooking the golf course as we, the girls attempted to rest our feet from dancing. Gorgeous view. If I hadn't known better, I would have thought that the entire club just opened recently. This venue is spotless, beautiful, and elegant.Listed in: They DO!

Review from Misty S.
THE FOOD AT THE BAR
Club Nachos - A big plate of chips loaded with cheese topped with ground beef, lettuce and tomatoes served with a side of guacamole, salsa and sour cream. 2 thumbs up!
Death by Chocolate - This is the best way to die, IMO. Three layer chocolate cake with a side of whip cream.
Friday Night Scene - Older crowd - late 20's and up. At first I thought it was karaoke night but it turned out there was a band playing outside.
The service here is always good, kudos!
LOCATION: This place isn't that easy to find, especially at night when it is hard to see the sign. Make sure you give extra directions to ppl if it's their first time going here.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Review from Candice G.
Naperville, IL
4.8 stars is more accurate, really.
The BF and I came here last Monday after my Dad gave us a $50 GC for the restaurant that needed to be used before the upcoming expiration date. I wasn't quite sure what to think about din din at a country club at first. Like, would I have to look nice? Would there be any veggie options for me? Would it be snooty?
Well, here are some answers to my Qs, in case you're wondering the same thing.
No, you don't have to look nice. At least not 'country club nice'. There were a few tables dressed 'business casual nice' but for the most part, everyone else has a jeans and flannel shirt or hoodie... which
I appreciate on a cold Monday night. The bar is nice though, it could totally be a dress up type place if there were more short tables and less bar tables... but I kind of like it as is.
The veggie options were scarce but they existed. I got the spring rolls which were large and simply delectable. For dinner I got the Mediterranean Salad that had all the fixins' you could ever want. It was a great big, hearty salad and everything tasted fresh and crisp. I would most defo recommend it for the copious amount of hearts of palm, kalamatta olives, feta cheese, cucumber, tomato, peppers, and red wine vinaigrette.
They were not snooty at all. Our server was probably one of the best servers ever. He knew the menu and beers inside and out and was the pinnacle of professionalism. I asked him about the Arrowhead Ale and he recommended Two Brother's Cane and Ebel as a better selection... but since I was nursing a minor hangover from drinking too much Cane & Ebel the day before, I went with a different poison- Magic Hat #9. One thing worth mentioning, the tap prices here are dirt cheap! They have select $1 draft beers on Mondays and $5 burgers... and the beers that are not part of the select $1 draft special (Exp: Cane & Ebel) are priced cheaper than they are at the actual brewery. I think I just found a new place to drink.
For the meat lovers, the BF fell in love with their SSS appetizer. It's a Seared Sea Scallop with cajun spices and dijonnaise sauce. The soup was a spicy beef soup with peppers and he loved that also, though he was expecting it to be a little spicier. And for dinner he got their signature burger, the Big Bertha. Big Bertha is not part of the $5 special mind you, it's actually a 3/4 lb, $15 Angus Beef burger with cheddar, caramelized onions, and bacon cooked INSIDE the burger patty and topped with arugula, tomato, and Bearnaise sauce on pretzel bun with fries and slaw. You might have a heart attack, but you'll die with a smile.
All in all, it was a fabulous experience and we will certainly be back. We ended up getting 4 craft brew pints, 2 appetizers, a soup, and 2 entrees for a total of $51.07... okay, we had the $50 GC so it was really only $1.07 but it was a steal either way. -
Review from Matthew W.
Aurora, IL
GREAT golf course and cool bar........but a HORRIBLE Restaurant...........
We went on a Saturday night with 3 other couples and were the first to arrive around 6 pm....so we naturally wandered into the bar and found the last two seats. It was a full house, and the crowd was split between golfers, couples out on dates, and the few single men....nice tvs all around tuned to the Masters. Great service from the bartenders, quick to refill drinks and friendly...then we got called to dinner.
Dinning room is pretty small and we had a big table in the middle. Nicole was our server and she was marginal at best (worse as the night wore on). Apps were just ok, it was SLOW, and a band began to set up....pretty strange for 7:30 on Saturday night. Anyway after what seemed like a few hours we got to order and the band started to play.
They were LOUD, LOUD, LOUD, so loud you couldn't talk to the person next to you, and the lead singer/guitar player was HORRIBLE and a hog of the "spotlight". I could not believe we were served food while a really loud band was playing in a small space....
The food itself was AWFUL. I had the BBQ Salmon and it was bad, overcooked and had the distinct taste of being dragged in the parking lot prior to hitting my plate.....don't think anyone else really liked theirs either. We were forced to watch and listen to the band because you could not speak to anyone.....
After dinner we wandered back to the bar, and there was still a good crowd. It seemed like many locals hang-out here, and as I said the bar is nice and fun. They also have a brick patio deck that is REALLY NICE.
NO WAY I came back here to eat, would play the golf course any day.

Review from Mary J.
This review is for the grill/bar only. I don't know about the golf course. This place is GREAT! SMOKE FREE! They have an area outside where you can puff away and leave the rest of us not stinking like your cigarettes.
The food is your basic fare - appetizers like wings, salads and sandwiches. Everything is reasonably priced - $9 for a sandwich and chips/fries, $5 for wings. They have Bass on tap as well as Amstel Light, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale and a few standbys. They have a nice bar with big screens surrounding it so watching a sport even is a GREAT experience (especially when it is a Cardinals victory).
This opened up in May 2006, so everything is shiny and new and clean. Make a stop by here when you are in the area! -
Review from T K.
Westmont, IL
I had my wedding here a few years ago. The place is very nice and surprisingly more affordable than I thought. We booked our small wedding here. i had a hard time getting a hold of my contact/consultant - I think because mine was a smaller wedding, they didn't feel the need to return calls as promptly.
The day of the wedding went fine, things were set up just as I had detailed. However, right before the dinner service the woman I had been in contact with pulled me aside, in my gown and in full view of my guests, to tell me quietly that there had been a health inspection and that the servers were required to wear gloves. I said white gloves, like butlers? "No" she said "plastic gloves"
I was freaking out, imagining the sight of my guests being disgusted and my wedding now looking like a hospital cafeteria. I said "NO, please don't do that" So the servers did indeed serve bare-handed, and everything seemingly went fine the rest of the day.
On the second day of my honeymoon, I checked my email to find half a dozen emails from friends and relatives, who had forwarded a news story - "Arrowhead Banquet facility closed for INFECTIOUS EMPLOYEE VIOLATION." This happened the weekend of our wedding, and my guests were wondering if they were going to get sick.
Suddenly the gloves comment made sense and I started crying - that news absolutely ruined that honeymoon day, and now when friends and family talk about my wedding, they always mention the health code violation story that was all on the news.
As an adult, I can't say it totally destroyed my wedding, but it was a horribly significant splotch on what should have been a lovely occasion. Nobody from the facility even called to apologize or offer any sort of recompense. Because of their treatment, I would not do business with them again or encourage others to do the same. -
Review from Valerie E.
Chicago, IL
I'll admit I came to Arrowhead not expecting much. I figured the likelihood of there being good food to be found in a restaurant on a golf course (a public course, at that!) was pretty low.
I was happily proven wrong.
This turns out to be a lovely place for a wedding reception or a special event. On this particular night the place was packed to the gills with various events, including a reunion for a local high school. Despite the fact that I think I might have been the youngest person in the room, the crowd was loud and boisterous - I'm a bit curious to see what it's like here on a weeknight. Even so, the place seemed very warm and inviting and service was great.
The food here, quite simply, is delicious. I had an herb-marinated chicken sandwich with Brie and basil - a combination I probably wouldn't have thought of but which proved to be really, really good. Our friend had the fish tacos and said they were very good as well. Everything seemed fairly reasonably priced - I can't wait to come back to try some other things, as they all sounded yummy. I've also heard good things about the brunch.
The best part about Arrowhead (at least to me)? I'm told there are FREE (or at least really cheap) cooking classes and wine tastings. How cool is that?! -
Review from Lisa W.
Wheaton, IL
This place is a really great restaurant so don't wait for a wedding reception to check it out. They have a full bar so it's also a nice place to go watch a game. The nachos are delicious. Their soups are all made from scratch and the fish is always fresh. You also can't go wrong with their burgers. My personal fav is the buffalo burger. Stop by sometime to check it out. They're rarely busy and it's one of the nicer places in Wheaton for dinner.

Review from Anna d.
Bartlett, IL
There are a few different types of reviews for Arrowhead. The restaurant is fantastic--- the food is excellent, and they have a beautiful bar and patio. And the free grilling lessons by the chef on the weekends during the summer are fantastic! He definitely knows what he's doing, and he's extremely nice and useful when he answers any questions people have. I would have loved to have my wedding here, but a $22,000 minimum charge for a Saturday wedding during the summer? No way.

Review from Stef C.
Lisle, IL
We had both our wedding ceremony and reception at Arrowhead, and I simply can't recommend them highly enough. Every aspect of our day was flawless, and Kristina was so accommodating and patient with us during planning! The staff are unfailingly professional, the facility is stunning, and our guests are still raving about the food & bar selection. We had an absolutely perfect wedding, and that is largely thanks to Arrowhead - I would choose them over and over again.

All subsequent visits have been much improved. Management listens and takes action. Food and drink continues to improve along with service. This is a great spot in an area with limited dining options. We also had one visit where the entertainment in the bar was outstanding. Great ambiance.

Review from Tina T.
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!

Review from Anthony M.
Centerville, OH
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.

Review from elizabeth n.
Chicago, IL
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!

Review from Tracy V.
Naperville, IL
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.

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!!! -
Review from Nari H.
Wheaton, IL
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.

Here for a bridal shower and can't say too many good things. The food was delicious, our server very friendly, staff easy to work with, reasonably priced, and the room we were in was just lovely. I hope to be invited to another occasion here and will try to convince my husband that we should try the brunch.

Review from I'm D.
Chicago, IL
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!

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.

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.

Review from Osiris V.
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.

Review from Pat E.
Awesome course, pretty difficult for my novice skills. There are 3 courses. Driving range is also awesome! The clubhouse, wow, nothing short of spectacular. The restaurant is awesome (order the Falcon Burger). They have weddings and banquets here as well. I want to try the brunch soon as well!

Review from Jackie N.
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!

Cool place to golf, a bit overpriced. The eating area is really nice but kind of drafty during the Winter months. The service at the bar has been slow several times that I have been there. Overall a nice place, but sometimes I feel like the people are too laid back that work there. If I want that kind of service I'll move to L.A.

Review from B B.
Wheaton, IL
I guess it depends what you are going for. The golf is good and the bar area is really nice. Great place to go for a few drinks and light meal in the bar area. The dining area is definitely not as highly recommended. The first time I went there with my office, about three years ago, we had amazing service and food in the bar area. The chef even came to our office the next week to thank us for coming, only 5 or 6 of us went so that is pretty far above and beyond service I've ever had. Well he was gone from there within a few months. I have heard they have trouble keeping good people but not sure if that's true or not. I've gone two other times for office parties in the dining area and had basically everything go wrong that could. We didn't really want to go back the second time but the restaurant we had chosen ended up being closed on this particular tuesday. The second time was incredibly bad. They did offer our entire table free desserts but by that time we just wanted to end a bad experience. I'll stick to the golf course and the bar from now on.
