Arrowhead Golf Club is a 27-hole municipal facility in Wheaton, Illinois, operated by the Wheaton Park District and surrounded by forest preserve with no houses in play. Three nine-hole courses can be combined into three separate eighteen-hole par-72 layouts, with water in play on most holes and dozens of bunkers throughout. The original 18-hole course opened in 1926 as the Antlers Club and was renamed Arrowhead in 1929 after artifacts found on the property during construction. The West nine was added in 1967, and the Wheaton Park District purchased the property in 1982; the course has since been redesigned by architect Ken Killian and updated by Greg Martin. Arrowhead operates as a public course open to all golfers, with a lighted driving range, putting and chipping greens, and practice bunkers. The club also hosts corporate outings, lessons, and leagues, and is a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary.
