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.

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!
Caters to heavy drinkers
My friend and I played with 2 male golfers (morning tee time). One golfer drank heavily and peed on a tree on the right side of a cart path in full view of the woman sitting in the cart next to him. There are no rangers and poor, rare bathroom facilities. Why do they allow liquor to be brought on the course? Why don't they have proper restroom facilities? Why don't they have rangers?
This guy was also swearing a blue streak, spitting his chaw, and smoking a cigar. Sadly, this is not the first time I have seen a male pee in full view on this course. Last time I will be going here! Too bad since the course is nice and the location is good.

Chevy Chase
I hadn’t played here in several years. The course conditions were very good. Some of the greens were pretty beat up. Very friendly staff.

Early morning
Course was in great shape, fairways were a little soft and wet in places. Other than that great course.
Thank you so much for the great review. We are glad you had an incredible time, and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for choosing Chevy Chase Country Club.
Subtle Slopes & Quick Greens
I haven't played Chevy Chase since the redesign until now as I thought the price-point was too high, but now I feel a little better about the price tag. Subtle sloping fairways and slightly elevated greens add character to the relatively flat topography @ Chevy Chase. Their greens are speedier than I would expect and roll true. GPS on the carts is a plus. Only downside is there is no driving range or short-game area.
Quitno Golf Designs is responsible for redeveloping the course to eliminate chronic flooding issues, which I remember being a big issue. Other courses in their portfolio include Blackstone, Bridges of Poplar Creek, and Schaumburg.
