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.

Fastest round I’ve ever played

Teed off at 12:00 on a hot (low 90s) Monday afternoon and finished at 2:00! Course is in great shape. Both staff and other golfers, were extremely nice. Played through a twosome on the front and another single and four foursomes on the back. Pro shop staff said it’s a typical Monday. If that’s the case, I’ll be back next Monday. I dinged the amenities score a star because there is no driving range.

Country club conditions at public course rates.

This greens here are excellent . Roll true….. nice and firm. Fairways are very well kept. Not the most difficult of courses as far as distance and layout , but fairways are narrow and some strategic water and traps make the round challenging , but more than rewarding for great shot placement. Most holes have an easy approach if you’re on target. The rough isn’t super crazy. Not a huge ball stealer being so tightly woven from Fairway to fairway , but conditions are always excellent, and you can play the course couple different ways to keep it entertaining.

My only complaint is I wish they had a more well rounded pro shot with gear and demos for players. With the immaculate conditions, popularity, and fact they host a lot of corporate events feel like a well stocked pro shop with demo options would be a great addition.

Great Condition even after the rain

Played 7/15 on a day that was supposed to be rained out, but we were able to play a fast round (3 1/2) hours on a lush well manicured course. The greens were fast but true ( my playing partner sunk a 66 ft putt for birdie), and the only negative was that because of the rain, some of the sandtraps were a bit mucky. But they could be raked to be more smooth so it wasn't an impediment.

The GPS cart screens were pretty accurate and very helpful if you don't know the course.

The course has come SO far from the year when it was flooded, and I was very impressed. I look forward to my next round at Chevy Chase.

Nice Course, but

Need a better clubhouse menu

Why does it cost more to book online vs. calling in, much simpler to book online and should not have an added fee to it, very confusing and disappointing

Great course and in excellent shape... just needs a driving range!

Chevy is a great course and a very good value for the price. The staff is friendly, and course is in nice shape, and it's a solid challenge for every level of player. The biggest drawback is certainly the lack of a range and it seems crazy that a course that size in the suburbs hasn't found a way to let players warm up, but if you can get loose somewhere else and play there, it's a fantastic spot.

Good course...challenging and well maintained

Course in very good condition although sand in bunkers could use some attention. Course has some challenging holes so it's a good test. Only problem was pace of play. We had a tee time of 6.30am and at this time of day, we typically can get around other courses in less than 3.5 hours. This round was over 4.5 hours and would have been longer if we hadn't asked to play through the group ahead. No sign of any rangers on the course reminding people to keep up with the group ahead.
