Cantigny Golf - Lakeside/Hillside
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Top 5 IL public course
Easily a top 5 public IL course. You could make an argument it’s the best, but you can’t argue it’s outside the top 5.
The grounds are magnificent, the practice area is amazing, the course is too fun! It’s
Ranger was obnoxious,
We were told to speed up 3 times when the cart said we were within 3 minutes of our split time. When we got to the turn he told us we need to speed through the bathroom and we didn’t have time to get a refreshment. Never saw him again after that and we waited on every hole in the back nine. Ruined the course experience for us.
Beautiful course, a little pricey but worth it.. I did not review the off course amenities because I was only there to squeeze in 9
Public course that plays like a country club
Amazing course, great amenities, great practice facility, even the availability of caddies, make this as close to a country club is you’re going to get. However, the food was mediocre and the drinks were very small. For golf experience you can’t beat it.
Exceptional experience even in the rain
One of the best courses in the state of IL. Love love the layout, staff, conditions and challenging holes. Consider my home course. Don’t miss the chance to play this gem
Top 10 IL public course
This is in the top half of IL top 10 public courses. For the price it’s not spectacular and unforgettable. But Chicago isn’t cheap so the price is justified.
The course is immaculate at all times, the grounds are great, practice facilities are the absolute best in the west burbs and the layout is pretty fun.
Great layout and the course was in very good shape. The Lakeside greens must have very recently been punched as it was very bumpy. It was an enjoyable experience
Waste of money. Course is in terrible condition.
This was a round that I was looking forward to. Beautiful October afternoon. Thought the 115.00 price was high for an afternoon in October but that is demand pricing in the golf industry these days. This course however is in absolutely terrible if not unplayable shops The aeration is dramatic. Especially on Woodside. We never really
putted out because there is actually more sand than grass in the manner that they aerated this nine. Stay away from this course. They will continue to COVID price you until you holld them accountable. There is no course in this area that is in this poor condition.
Please don’t follow up with a canned response about being sorry that you didn’t enjoy the experience. You know how bad it is.
