Cantigny Golf - Woodside/Lakeside

BEAUTIFUL COURSE , TERRIFIC LAYOUT, ONE OF THE BEST COURSES IN THE STATE.

Played first week of 2013 golf season. Greens still pretty rough from aeration. When healed... course always pristine. Hosts Women's U.S. Open Qualifier in May.

It is early in the season but the course was nice based on the weather. Play was slow due to cart path only. Staff was very nice.

Hadn't played this in a bunch of years...better than I remember. Fortunate to have had temps in the mid to upper 50's in mid Nov.! Super nice staff and conditions considering it was their "last day" of the year. Played "woodside" and "lakeside". GREAT layout. Thoughtful. Challenging. Green complexes tight on about half of the holes. There are only about 8-10 public courses in the Chicago area that would rival or be a slight notch above. Great time!

Just a great track. All three 9 hole layouts are tough, but fair. The green fees in the summer can be a bit steep, but the conditioning & quality of the course(s) justifiy the cost. We got a 'teaser' day in mid-Nov. & the course was still in great shape. Get there early to take advantage of great driving range, chipping area & large practice putting green.

Delayed 70 minutes because of frost. Watered on course 30 minutes before play (about 20 minutes). Course was wet and cart path only.

If you haven't played this course yet than maybe you shouldn't, because once you do you will be comparing every other course to this one. Truest greens I've played on, fluffy sand, evenly pristine tee boxes, yardages markers apparent. While the cart has GPS its a fairly cheap system I suppose that is my only complaint besides the high price of food/drink, but that is to be expected. The layout of the course which is tucked into a centuries old forest is chalk full of animal life(hawks, turkeys, coyotes, deer, even sasquatch Ive seen him). For weekday prices as low as $50 you would be foolish not to take advantage of a top echelon 27 hole course such as this.

Cantigny has never been a disappointment as far as I'm concerned. It has always been in wonderful condition - as was the case this past weekend. Staff is wonderful, the facilities are top notch and over all the three nines are fun and challenging. To me the place is a golfing sanctuary.

The course is absolutely magnificent. Challenging but fair. Our pace was a little behind the first few holes but at no time did the ranger ever approach us in a threatening manner. Very courteous and professional. If it were a little cheaper, it would be my first choice of courses to play in the western suburbs. Provides a very pro-like atmosphere for your run of the mill golfer.

Cantigny is a beautiful course with challenging holes for all players. The pace was good and the entire course is well maintained. It's tough to justify paying these fees on a regular basis, but it was a treat to play here.

Having spent time in some of the old countryclubs (Medinah, Baltusrol etc), I was quite surprised to find a public course that could match their splendor. The drive in reminds you of Augusta's Magnolia Lane. The practice facility is impressive with a moderately sized driving range, but with fantastic chipping and putting greens. The 3 courses are really in terrific shape. There are two or three holes that require local knowledge since they are blind shots and if you drive over 200 yards your ball can end up in the trees.. or worse. The greens are well manicured and have moderate undulation. The fairways are often sloped so you often have an uneven lie (something you don't find in courses in Chicagoland). Overall a great experience with terrific courses (3) and great greens.
