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.

Slow play today

We got behind two knuckle heads on the back 9 that took 2 1/2 hours. They ended up 4 to 5 holes behind. Not an enjoyable round. The greens were recently aerated. They were very slow and bumpy. Not what I’m used to at Chevy Chase. I’m sure they will recover.

Greens are in tough shape

It’s early in the season but some greens are patchy. Hopefully when we get through spring the condition will get better, especially the green on #8. The course is a great track and I’m confident the grounds crew will get everything where it needs to be.

Great place to start the season

I really like Chevy Chase golf club, and yesterday was just another great day there, The weather was warm for March, and we had to contend with a blustery wind, but it was nice overall. The course was in good shape, being able to ride off the cart paths was wonderful, and the greens were rolling surprisingly well.

We did have to wait a bit longer than usual, but we chalked that off to playing in thr afternoon.
