Rating 73.0

Cantigny Golf in Wheaton offers 27 holes of championship golf. It is also a great place for juniors with an academy and nine-hole youth links course. The holes are divided into the Lakeside, Hillside, and Woodside nines, names that connote the characteristics of the beautiful landscape. There are two meandering creeks as well as 12 lakes interspersed throughout the golf courses. The nines are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The Lakeside/Hillside Course, as the name would imply, takes advantage of the many lakes and elevation changes. Mature hardwood trees frame the holes and more than 100,000 flowers provide a colorful accent. In addition to water hazards, there are also strategically placed bunkers along the greensides. All of the golf courses are enjoyable challenging without being overly difficult.

Nice Place

Played on a Sunday afternoon with some friends. The practice facilities are great. The people working at the course are really pleasant. The course conditions were great, except for a few bunkers with just dirt in the bottoms. Greens rolled nice. It's a wonderful course layout, built so that you're not seeing too many other players out there on other holes. But the pace of play was the biggest downfall. A 5:15 pace in carts is unacceptable in my opinion.

Top 5 IL public course

Easily a top 5 public IL course. You could make an argument it’s the best, but you can’t argue it’s outside the top 5.

The grounds are magnificent, the practice area is amazing, the course is too fun! It’s

Ranger was obnoxious,

We were told to speed up 3 times when the cart said we were within 3 minutes of our split time. When we got to the turn he told us we need to speed through the bathroom and we didn’t have time to get a refreshment. Never saw him again after that and we waited on every hole in the back nine. Ruined the course experience for us.

Public course that plays like a country club

Amazing course, great amenities, great practice facility, even the availability of caddies, make this as close to a country club is you’re going to get. However, the food was mediocre and the drinks were very small. For golf experience you can’t beat it.
