About
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.

Always in good shape nice to go out
Always a good hot deal always in good shape. Staff is always friendly and bring a cart right when you get out the car.
Customer service
I booked a round on GolfNow and because of scheduling conflicts out of my control I was unable to even get 9 holes in. I went to the golf course anyway because I’m from out of state and wanted to purchase some Chevy Chase merch. I was a little disappointed with the lack of cool stuff but got a towel and 3 golf balls anyway. The two gentleman at the pro shop canceled my tee time on their end so I would not be charged. I will be back when I have more time for a round of golf! (My wife thinks it takes 7-10 hours to finish a round so don’t tell her anything different!)
Course was in great shape for late in the season. Greens rolled very true.
Hi, u000004537192. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your time at Chevy Chase Country Club. We look forward to seeing you on the course soon for another 5-star experience!
Hi, Toshi62. We appreciate you taking the time to review the course and rate us. Thank you for the 4 stars! We aim for a 5-star experience, so we always welcome feedback for improvement. Thank you for playing Chevy Chase Country Club.
The Good and Bad of GPS-enabled carts
Carts with GPS in them are great for determining yardages. These carts also allow you to sync your phone/music with them. Nice. What's not-so-nice is the course's propensity to restrict carts from operating in "sensitive" areas. These carts shut down in places that make no sense. It's annoying and mostly unnecessary for golfers with common sense. Chevy Chase please give us a bit more credit for taking care of the course ourselves and help eliminate the annoyance and frustration that your restrictions impose on your customers.
Enjoyable Course, Poor Service
I would have provided a higher rating for this course however the staff really took away from the experience. The course layout was fun and presented more challenge than I initially thought. Most fairways are pretty open but good placement of trees, sand, doglegs and water cause difficulties from shot to shot. The course was also in solid condition, the greens were a bit beat up but everything else was very in line. The negative part of my review concerns the staff/facilities. Not only did the staff fail to properly equip the carts (no divot replacement mix, GPS was giving wrong readings, wouldn’t switch holes, and randomly would shut down your cart and tell you to go in reverse even when there was nothing to indicate you were in an area you should not be) but there were no rangers on the course. After being stuck behind an incredibly slow group for 9 holes, I called the pro shop to ask for a ranger, the person in the pro shop acknowledged the slow play and said a ranger would be sent, I also requested a ranger with the cart GPS screen but no one ever showed up. It was a very slow round that caused problems for my group and a caused a pile up of groups behind us. It was extremely disappointing and frustrating that the staff was not up to par.
Beautiful Course
Had a wonderful first time round and the grounds were extremely lush and well maintained.
We will definitely be back!
