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.

Starter should be fired.

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.

Poor course management

The starter insisted we start 15 minutes early. Even after we politely decline to do so when he approached us on the putting Gryn. By the second hole, we were already waiting for the group in front of us. This continued on for the remainder of the day and had to wait at every hole to tee off.
