Cantigny Golf - Hillside/Woodside
About
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.

Beautiful course
This course is top notch. Challenging and fun. And the guys that put your golf clubs into the carts are quite handsome. Eye candy ;-)
Nice Place
Played on a Sunday afternoon with some friends. The practice facilities are great. The people working at the course are really pleasant. The course conditions were great, except for a few bunkers with just dirt in the bottoms. Greens rolled nice. It's a wonderful course layout, built so that you're not seeing too many other players out there on other holes. But the pace of play was the biggest downfall. A 5:15 pace in carts is unacceptable in my opinion.
Purely magic
Magnificent golf course. Incredible property. Number one public golf course in the Chicagoland area hands down. What a gem, what a treat, what a beautiful golf course unmatched in the area. Wish prices were a bit more reasonable but worth every dime. Magical place.
All around amazing experience
Really enjoyed everything about my visit. To start, Cantigny has one of the better practice facilities around. Multiple putting and chipping greens, large range with grass to hit off of and several indoor bays as well. We played Lakeside and Woodside. Course layout and scenery was great. Good mix of distances so I used most of my clubs, dog legs both ways. Water and woods were in play most holes, so it was fairly challenging as well. Luckily, the cart GPS system shows you everything and was also a big plus. Fairways, greens, bunkers, and tee boxes were all in excellent shape. Page of play was decent for a beautiful Saturday. If i had any complaints, the greens were maybe a touch slow but that probably helped my game and sometimes the carts shut off if you got close to certain areas but that’s minor. I will definitely be back; it’s my new favorite course.
Beautiful
Truly a beautiful coarse., In incredible shape even during a drought in Illinois. 3 different 9's is also a bonus.
Father'sday
Placed spotters in a few areas where many people lose balls on their drives to keep pace of course going. Very classy
Excellent Course
The course is an excellent place to play golf.
My only issue was that although I had my Golf Now reservation confirmation number, the course had no record of my booking.
