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 with poor pace of play.

Paired with a great group of guys but unfortunately almost a five hour round of golf. Slow play really took away from the experience waiting and waiting each hole particularly on the back nine.

Trees and sand

The course is laid out well. Mixture of trees sand and water to make every hole interesting. Keep the ball on the fairway and you should score well. End up behind a tree and watch the bogeys mount up.
