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.

Pleasant experience

From being greeted at my car with a cart, to the last putt, I had a thoroughly wonderful day. The staff was friendly and courteous, the starter paired me with a delightful 2some, and we enjoyed a glorious adventure for 18 holes. Well kept and challenging layout was in great shape.

Thanks to Golf Now, I got a good deal and I plan on returning with my buddy this summer.

Highly recommended this venue !

Great Course

The staff here is friendly and very helpful. They actually seem glad to see you and share good info on the course and amenities. Big value add in my view.

The course was in good shape with the only issue being the ball marks on the greens...but this is a player issue as people were not repairing ball marks. My only complaint is that we never saw the beverage cart during our round and this was tough because the heat index was around 100 that day. Other than this, a very good experience.

the course was crappy from rain the night before and on top of that, there was an outing and a threesome that was very slow and that slowed down 4 other groups along with my foursome. it was a very frustrating round where we sat for 15 minutes on every hole waiting for people to tee off so most of the other groups left early. I'm very surprised that there were no rangers monitoring the pace of play even when I messaged them through the navigation unit in the carts. needles to say that I will not be back anytime soon at this course!

Terrible

There was a temporary tee box on 1 due to a wedding setup....a temporary green on 8—with no notice or signage....when I finished my round at 6:30 on a Saturday night, the bar was completely shuttered and I could not get a beer or snack after my round ....pretty bad!

don't play when wet

This place had some serious drainage issues which were supposedly corrected in the last few years. However, it appears this course still holds water more than many others our area. Don't play if its cart path only (even if you are walking).

Never again!

Someone told me this course was pretty good so I thought I'd try it out since I live 5 miles from the course. Big mistake, should of payed a little more money and played at sportsmans in Northbrook. The staff here is friendly and willing to make an effort but they really don't run a good operation and i never saw an employee the entire round. Got the hot deal and teed off around noon, no starter people going off at the wrong times etc. Very unorganized. It was also cart path only which I was shocked as is was not nearly wet enough to warrent this. If anything maybe a 90 degree rule would have been ok but the sun was out and had been for the past 2 days. The rough was full of sticks and other debris and was hard with tighht lies. Course is congrsted and almost got hit by a ball twice. Back nine was very slow, the carts gps broke twice during my round and took forever for somebody to help. Cart also stalled numerous times to tell me to get back on path which I was clearly on. This course is very disappointing. I will not return thats for sure.

Superb Course

I've always been a fan of Chevy Chase, and this round was no different. Pace was great, and the greens always roll very true at this course. Good value, friendly staff, and the course that's in great shape. What more can you ask for?

Great course, but I have a hard time recommending a course that took well over 5 hours to play. From hole 6 and on waited an average of 5-15 minutes per hole. Ended up not even finishing last 5 holes because pace of play so poor.
