Chevy Chase Country Club (formerly known as Traditions at Chevy Chase Country Club) in Wheeling is one of Chicagoland's top public golf facilities. Thomas Bendelow designed the golf course in 1925. The classic layout remained largely the same until 2002 when a major renovation updated the course and made it more challenging. The layout now has deep pot bunkers lined with tall native fescue that border the generous, rolling greens and undulating fairways. Though it is more challenging than it was, the golf course still offers a player-friendly round. Four sets of tees also ensure that golfers can play to their skill level. The course finishes with its signature hole, a par 5 that features water both left and right of the landing area off the tee. Three massive bunkers and yet another pond all fiercely guard the green as well.

Good Course

Played the front 9 all summer and fall. Course conditions were great. Only complaint is that reserving a t time online costs more than doing it on the phone - not sure why?

The green were rolling perfect..

Great round.. weather permitting we will play here again next Sunday.

Great course. Not $60 great. But $40 sure

They had just aerated the greens like a few days before I went there and so I was expecting it to be really crummy And I had barely even noticed. Other courses the greens are unusable when they aerate and they don’t give a discount. Chevy chase did. So thank you for a nice day. Just get a driving range and you’ll be top notch in my book

Nice Course, Slow Play

We were warned before tee off that pace was slow, and boy was that right. We were surprised that there was no marshal out on the course on such a busy day.
