Chevy Chase Country Club

Course was in great condition and the pace of play perfect. Great price for 18 holes with a cart.

a lot of challenging holes but the maintenance is great. Always a great time playing there

I flew into Chicago early on Sunday morning for a work event that began Sunday night. I decided since I had plenty of time to kill I would look for a place to get a round in before checking into my room. Chevy Chase CC was where I chose to play because of the time available on the tee sheet and it’s proximity to the airport and my final destination.

I booked through golf now when I landed it was $69 to walk 18 holes. I arrived about 40 minutes before my tee time because I had to get a rental set and wanted to hit some putts. The rental set was nice, but the bag was more of a staff bag making me need a push cart in order to walk. This was unfortunate—as the push carts were not complementary so another $6 dollars to rent a push cart and $50 bucks for the rental set I was all in around $125. Not terrible, but more than I typically pay to play golf.

The course was in good shape. Fairways, greens and tee boxes were well maintained and manicured. The greens were quick—especially down hill. You could tell it gets a lot of play because it was packed. Also you can tell it is a public joint because some folks didn’t do a great job filling divots in the fairway or repairing pitch marks on the greens. But like I said, all in all it was in great shape for a place that clearly takes on a massive number of rounds.

The worst thing was the pace of play. I can remember sitting and even laying down on the tee boxes as I waited as there were instances where 3 groups were stuck on the same tee box. The round took 4.5 hours and that is the longest round I had played in a long time.

I was paired up with a threesome, and they were kind and pleasant to be with. They affirmed 4.5 to 5 hour rounds were typical on weekends at most places around town.

To sum up, I would play it again. It was fun and well taken care of and the price was reasonable. However, if you are looking to move quickly this might not be the spot for you. My fear is you will have to pay considerably more to find a place that will not be as backed up giving you more of an opportunity for a quick round.

Have fun, hit um straight, and go low! Enjoy your round!!

It's a nice long course that will challenge you every hole.

Had a tee time at 4:20, plenty of time to finish a round, or so we thought. On the putting green, and the starter comes over yelling telling us we’re on the box, it was 4:05. I let it slide, we head over to the box. They had an outing in front of us, no big deal. The two groups in front of us had 6 players in each group. Slowed down the entire course. Starter comes out to address the situation with the group in front us on the 17th hole. A little late for that buddy. Then when we finished we mentioned the groups in front of us and he gets all mad and starts giving us attitude saying what do we want him to do. An apology for the inability to manage the players pace on the course would be nice. Loved the course but probably won’t be back due to the jerk of a starter.
