This historic and picturesque golf course has been an important part of the surrounding community for more than 150 years. It all began when Mr. C. Frankinhim, in the 1850s, erected the original stone building on the property with stones brought from Plainfield, Illinois. After Mr. Frankinhim's barn burned down late in the 1800s, the property was taken over by Matt Kammes, and then in 1905 it was purchased by John Brown. In 1924 the farm was turned into a golf course, the first of its kind in the area, and named the Antlers Club. The tees and greens were constructed first, followed by ponds that, when viewed from the air, resembled a pair of antlers. This earned the course its new name, Arrowhead Golf Club, in 1929 due to the many Native American artifacts found on the site during its construction. In 1967 the West Course was built, bringing the number of holes up to 27. In 1982, the Wheaton Park District bought the property from the Jansen family in order to preserve it as a major recreational area for the community. The golf course has seen many updates over the past few decades, including the addition of hundreds of trees and the renovation of the East Course, South Course, and West Course. These renovations were directed by Ken Killian, who is best known for his design of Kemper Lakes Golf Club in Hawthorne Woods, Illinois. The learning center also opened in 1990 as part of the East Course renovation. The Arrowhead Golf Club has become a beloved and iconic part of the neighborhood and continues to provide a unique and enjoyable golfing experience for many.
