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.

One of my favorite Chicago land courses for the price

Really nice and open course. Fairways and in good condition. The course was a little wet due the rain the night before. Cart path only today. But the staff are friendly, the clubhouse is attractive and I would highly recommend this course to others. For the price it is hard to beat this golf course. It was a 30 minute drive for me, but well worth it.

Not worth it

For the price, I thought it wasn't worth it, the course was compact and too many people where playing with slow pace. i was playing single and the people in-front of me refused to let me play through .

the green were not in good conditions. overall, I didnt enjoy my visit and i am not sure why it charges premium.

wont go there again.

Tight Course off the tee

You need to have your A game off the tee. Not a long course, but demanding off the tee.

Favorite Course

This is my favorite course. It’s like a private course. I’d play here every day if I could. Not an easy course at all but manageable for players like me that don’t play as much as I’d like. Just enough water to make it interesting. 4th hole is my favorite.

The course was good overall

Two things that I don’t like are:

1. About a half of time I hit my balls to the rough, I lost them

2. Cart path only even though the course was dry, which makes it even harder to find balls getting into the rough

Other than those, I recommend this course.

Great course

This facility is awesome. The location, price, condition, and layout are pretty much the best in the area. Because the course is near a branch of the river, it does take on water when it rains heavily. Other than that, this course is very playable and a lot of fun. Good mix of holes.
