Chevy Chase Country Club
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.

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.

Good course but rough needs to be cut shorter
I’ve played this course for years but haven’t played in a couple of years. They don’t cut the rough short enough. I know it was just cut because I asked. If your ball lands in the rough, you may not find it even if it’s just off of the fairway. Otherwise, the course is in great shape & if you stay in the fairways, you’re good!

Course was great!
The course was in fantastic shape! The only issue was, there was no food options until after 930am. I had a 7am tee time, and at the turn there was no food options as the chef did not come in until 930am. Otherwise this course was great and I would recommend it.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your kind words about the fantastic condition of our course. We apologize for the inconvenience regarding the lack of food options before 9:30am and will take this feedback into consideration to improve our services in the future.

Fair course for my ability. Need to move red tees back a bit. 600 yard difference between red and back. Need a 6200-6300 option.
