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.

Solid course, solid price

Nice course for walking. Tough greens, some testy looks off the tee. Course is in immaculate condition, and pace was brisk on a chilly Friday morning. Fair and challenging test, highly recommended at the price.

We enjoyed this course again. Great condition for November. Autumn leaves were not a major problem like I’ve seen elsewhere. Greens rolled well. Thank you for a real good time.
