Snow Means Cross-Country Skiing at Arrowhead Golf Club
CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING AT ARROWHEAD GOLF CLUB
Lessons and rentals available for miles of beautiful trails!
WHEATON, ILLINOIS – Enjoy the best of winter with cross-country skiing at Arrowhead Golf Club, 26w151 Butterfield Road. With a six-inch base of snowfall, Arrowhead will open miles of beautiful ski trails throughout the golf course with connections to Herrick Lake Forest Preserve.
Cross-country skiing is amazing aerobic exercise that utilizes arm, leg and core-muscles for a total body work-out. Skiers can burn between six and nine hundred calories per hour!
Flags located just outside the golf shop will
identify when the course is open to skiers. “Green means go” and “red means no.” Equipment rentals are available (skis, poles, and boots) for only $15 per day. Come around to the lower level on the south side of the building.
