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.

Great experience
Amazing course with friendly staff.
Course is in great condition consider the weather recently.
Cant wait to play this course again when weather gets better
Beautiful Course
This is one of the premiere courses in the Chicago area. The course was a bit damp but in good shape since it was opening day. Only issue is it was cart path only, which makes for a long round. I realize though they are trying to protect the course until the spring weather settles in.
Nice course for great price
Pace of play was great at 4 hours on a Thursday morning. No range balls included. Cart path only due to soggy conditions.
One of the best course in Chicago area.
Great course layout, excellent facility, courteous staff and excellent restaurant. Overall, a great way to spend the day. Course conditions are always first class.
Great Course/Slow Play
This course never disappoints! However the pace of play for the money, is way too slow. There's really no reason for a 5 hour round at a place like this. It isn't the first time I've had this happen here. The couple I played with are regulars and they experience 5 hours rounds multiple times this summer. Management needs to clean that up. No disrespect to the course. It's always great!
Slow moving
We wish they would have set up signs to tell us where the carts could and could not go on the course. Countless times we were driving in general areas only to have the cart stop and force us to back up at 2 miles per hour.
Some of the fairways on the Lakeside were cracked I guess from the drought And a couple of grays had issues on the edges
Outing issues
We were a little bit late and were screamed at by an employee who was trying to get us to hurry due to an outing that was going off behind us. We were told to catch the group in front of us which we did, but to find out they were employees playing on the course and had zero etiquette on the course. We ended up playing by ourselves but were screamed at by the ranger to hurry up when there was no one behind us for atleast 3 holes. I have been golfing here for 30+ years and I had a client with me who had never been there before and it was extremely disheartening that we were treated like 12 year olds on the course after spending $400 plus dollars between the round, beverages from the cart girl, and post round food. Im hoping that this next adventure out isn’t as rough.
