Rating 73.0

Cantigny Golf in Wheaton offers 27 holes of championship golf. It is also a great place for juniors with an academy and nine-hole youth links course. The holes are divided into the Lakeside, Hillside, and Woodside nines, names that connote the characteristics of the beautiful landscape. There are two meandering creeks as well as 12 lakes interspersed throughout the golf courses. The nines are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The Lakeside/Hillside Course, as the name would imply, takes advantage of the many lakes and elevation changes. Mature hardwood trees frame the holes and more than 100,000 flowers provide a colorful accent. In addition to water hazards, there are also strategically placed bunkers along the greensides. All of the golf courses are enjoyable challenging without being overly difficult.

Always Good

I have played this course a handful of times. It is always in good shape though the greens were rolling a little slower than when I have played in the past. Despite being a busy Friday, the pace of play was good. Aside from the girl at the bag drop, the staff could be a little friendlier.

Perfect fall course

Beautiful course, great staff and wonderful restaurant. We were paired with two younger gentlemen who were GREAT golfers, but who also were wonderful to two 70+ seniors definitely not in their league. I know that’s not the courses choice, but was their usual course and speaks to quality of golfer who play there.

In Great Shape and Fun to Play

After booking the time i had heard it wasn’t in the best shape but those rumors were not true. We played Woodside / Lakeside and it was in pristine shape as you would expect for the price. The diabolical 2nd hole got the best of us but we enjoyed all of it.
