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.

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.

The carts and some management is poor

They gave me a "new" cart but it had no GPS unlike all the older carts which have it and are still being given out. They didn't tell me or offer me an older one. Without the GPS it was very difficult to play the course as yardage markers were very sparse and no 100/150/200 makers anywhere like on the cart paths and pin position was unknown. After my 9 holes, I went into discuss with the manager at check -in and he had many excuses: supply chain issues so the GPS for the new carts did not come in. He told me I could have walked if I didn't like the cart. I asked him point blank what he might do for me like a free cart next time I played and he said he would do nothing half laughing at me. I told him he was an ahole and he thanked me for that so I guess he agreed with me. I hope he is not representative of the rest of their staff and they get their act together as far as carts go and customer relations.

Great condition but overpriced?

I always enjoy Cantigny but usually walk away afterwards and think there are many courses for $30 or $40 less that I enjoy just as much. Always impeccably maintained. Excellent facility.

Best greens this year 5/10/2022!

As always, Cantigny is a fantastic time and is maintained immaculately. One thing I noted today- The greens were AWESOME. Despite a lot of rain they were hard and rolling fast (like 12) and true, A+

One of the worst courses in chicagoland area

Fairways are same length as the rough at most courses. If you are going to spend 100+ go play dubs.
