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.

Wet Chevy

Nice course with good mix of gettable and tough holes. Only drawback was a lot of wet areas due to possible over-watering.

I just moved here from FL. I plan on making this my home course. My goal is to beat it to par from back tees by the end of the summer. I only wish there was a "frequent player" card as I plan to play at least 12x per month, walking after work (4pm.)

Tradition at the Chevy Chase did not disappoint

As soon as we pulled into the parking lot a staff member came greeted us and dropped off a cart cart!

He directed us to the pro shop to check in and told us about the putting green and their hitting bay.

Tee times were 10mins apart didn’t have to wait for too many shots for our round and we finished just under 4 hours.

Greens were true and speed was decent; some tee boxes shown usage but can’t complain since it’s the last day of a long weekend with great weather!

Do stop by their patio and get their Philly cheese steak sandwich or enjoy a post round drink if you have time !

Players! Repair your ball marks on putting greens!

The staff is always very friendly. The pace of play was extremely slow on the second half of the front nine… ended up joining another two some to make four some, but even then we had to wait 5-10 minutes to tee off on hole 5-9. The players playing this course are not very good at repairing divots on the putting green surface…. Frustrating to repair several marks on each hole to clear the putting line. Overall good condition and will certainly be back again.
