Rating 74.1

Cantigny Golf boasts 27 holes of scenic and challenging golf. The holes are divided into three nines that are named after the features of the landscape: Lakeside, Hillside, and Woodside. The nines are played in three different 18-hole combinations. The Hillside/Woodside course features plenty of elevation changes as well as an abundance of hardwoods, mature oaks, and ash trees. More than 100,000 flowers provide a colorful accent to the golf course. Strategically placed bunkers border the undulating greens and there are also a few water hazards coming into play. All three courses provide a challenging round but they are playable for a range of skill levels. It is an excellent place for tournaments. In the past it has been host to the US Amateur Public Links and numerous USGA qualifiers. It is also a good place for juniors with a golf academy and a nine-hole youth links golf course.

Elite Golf Course

Best course I have played at in Chicago area by a mile. From an amenities standpoint this place has it all, complementary range balls if you have a tee time so def recommend going earlier to get some warm up in. Coolers attached to the golf carts and complementary water bottles & water refill stations through out the course. In terms of the actual golf, this course is definitely challenging which in my opinion makes it much more fun! Course was about as well maintained as possible, fairways and greens were beautiful. Will absolutely be coming back, had a fantastic time.

Poor Management

Had a foursome reserved but one person couldn’t make it. I was forced to pay for the missing person which I understand but when I asked for a rain check to be used at a later date they told me no. The starter says they usually do this but the person in the pro shop disagreed. Sadly, I won’t be a repeat customer again.
