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.

Good Course, challenging in a good way

Played at 7:20 in the morning. Dewy grass made roughs thick and slow. Front 9 very punishing for being off-fairway. Good variety of Par 3 lengths.

Good course, crabby workers

CC is a very good course. No driving range, short game area and putting green is for lag putts only.

Course layout is challenging but fair for ALL levels. Course is also meticulously maintained. There also was an employee to meet me in parking lot which was awesome! Unfortunately, after getting into the playing area, staff were having a bad day or the starters and rangers need to think of getting a new job. Crabby, irritated and couldn’t crack a smile or have a conversation. Maybe just a bad day, just didn’t know there are bad days on a golf course. A little pricey, but it is a nice course.

Pretty mid

Course was slow pace of pace. Had to wait 5 minutes at every tee box. Not a great layout. Very tight holes as all 18 holes are squeezed next to eachother on a rectangular piece of land. Kept on good condition though.

Fun to play.

Course is a lot of fun to play. Nothing crazy challenging. I would like to see more water offered throughout the course. Only one spot when out there. Good drinks, nice people.

Tough Roughs

Short course but can still kick your butt if you can’t hit it straight. The roughs were really thick and difficult to find balls if you get lost in them. Greens were in beautiful shape with not so much breaks.
