About this course
The Village Links of Glen Ellyn sits on land in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, that the village originally set aside in the 1960s to combine a public golf course with stormwater detention for the area. Architect David Gill of St. Charles, Illinois designed the original course, which opened for play in 1967.
Gill's design incorporated bentgrass tees, irrigated fairways and a mix of sand and water hazards that were ahead of their time for a public course. A third nine, the Link-Up Nine, opened in 1975 and was later combined with the back nine to form an 18-hole course, leaving the original front nine as a separate 9-hole layout, giving the facility 27 total holes today.
The Village Links is publicly owned and open to daily fee play. It has hosted PGA Tour qualifying and U.S. Open sectional qualifying rounds over the years.

Arrowhead operates as a public course open to all golfers, with a lighted driving range, putting and chipping greens, and practice bunkers.
