As an avid golfer residing near Arlington Heights, I’ve always seen the potential for a beautiful golf course right here in our community. The old Arlington Park race track has been closed for nearly two years now, leaving a significant amount of valuable land in our area unused. Transforming this space into a golf course could fulfill not only my passion but also of countless other golf enthusiasts in and around our neighborhood.

The Arlington Heights’ community has a rich history with sports and leisure activities, and repurposing the old race track as a golf course would align perfectly with our local values of recreation and community engagement. Golf is not only a beloved pastime but also offers numerous benefits to the community. Economically, a new golf course could generate jobs and boost local businesses by attracting tourists and golf lovers from all around Illinois and beyond. It could also increase property values, improve community aesthetics, and ensure a quality green space for various recreational activities.

Additionally, the golf course could serve as a beautiful venue for community events and tournaments, creating opportunities for social interaction and community spirit. Importantly, developing a golf course in this area would promote healthy living, as it provides a fun yet physically engaging activity for people of all ages.

We believe that converting this underutilized land into a golf course offers a unique opportunity to revitalize the area, enhance community well-being, and share the joy of golfing with more residents. Let's turn Arlington Heights’ old race track into a thriving hub for sports and community gatherings. It's time to give this space a new life that we all can enjoy and benefit from.
