    Great Golf Course. Fun course both the 18 hole and the 9 hole each offer some great fun.

    I've played this course at least 30 times in the last 5 years. For the record, I also belong to a…read moreprivate country club- and the course and amenities here are easily as good as our private club. There are 3 9-hole courses, each with it's own quirks and challenges. I'd argue Lakeside is the hardest, but Woodside has some insanely difficult holes too. Regardless of your skill level, you will enjoy this place. It manages to honor the game but not be the slightest bit stuffy or snotty. Everyone that works here is hospitable and they have fun. Nice selection of drinks from the cart gals. Bartenders and servers are great, and the food is pretty good. Golf staff are great. My son (now 20) took lessons at the Academy as a kid and the lessons were worth every penny. If you are on the fence about this place because of the cost (it's not cheap)- it's worth it. If you're strapped for cash they have a pretty good twilight deal too. Definitely a bucket list course for anyone in Chicago.

    First, the positives: the course itself is in great shape. Fairways and greens were…read morewell-maintained, the layout is challenging without being unfair, and there are some genuinely beautiful holes. For pure golf, Cantigny can deliver. The problem is everything that happened between shots. We booked three Friday morning tee times with varying numbers of players in each group. At bag drop, the host seemed less than thrilled by the arrangement and appeared confused about where bags should go. Maybe coordinating three separate tee times was complicated. No big deal--it was a brief interaction, and we moved on. Check-in was smooth enough. At $128 per person with a cart, though, expectations are naturally a little higher than your average muni. Then we arrived at Hole 1. Since golfers can be routed to either Hillside or Lakeside, there was a ranger directing traffic. Unfortunately, he seemed completely overwhelmed by the existence of golfers showing up for their scheduled tee times. Two other groups parked in front of him, and what followed looked less like tee-time management and more like air traffic control during a thunderstorm. We arrived 30 minutes before our tee time and were ready to go, yet nobody seemed sure where to send us. Eventually, we were directed to a tee box and instructed to wait 10 minutes after the group ahead of us teed off. Fair enough. Then, moments later, we got yelled at for not teeing off soon enough. So apparently we were simultaneously too early and too late. Quite an achievement. The group ahead of us was painfully slow. Every hole became a front-row seat to their entire golf experience. We watched every drive, every chunk, every search mission into the rough, and every putt from three different angles. I'm all for golfers of every skill level enjoying the game, but at some point pace of play becomes a group project. What made it frustrating was that we were constantly waiting on them while the ranger seemed fixated on us. I've played a lot of golf and have never seen a ranger appear this frequently. It was like having a very concerned wildlife photographer tracking our migration patterns. Every few holes, there he was. The funny part? We were a threesome of ladies hitting fairways, keeping pace, and generally doing everything golfers are supposed to do. If you're looking for the source of slow play, maybe don't start with the group standing around waiting. The ranger attention continued all day. By Hole 17 (Hole 8 on Lakeside), we were told to hurry up because an outing was starting in 12 minutes. Interesting. If the course knew an outing was scheduled, perhaps that should have been factored into the tee times they sold. It was hard to understand why the pressure was being directed at the group waiting on every shot instead of the group creating the backup. Then came another memorable moment. After a quick bathroom break heading to Hole 10, a van was blocking the only path to the next tee. We tried finding an alternate route and immediately got yelled at again--this time by entirely different personnel. Consistency is important, and Cantigny's staff certainly demonstrated consistency in that department. Initially, I wondered if some of the treatment had a sexist element to it. Later, after speaking with others in our group who experienced similar interactions, it seemed more likely that everyone was receiving the same abrupt treatment. Whether it was sexism, bias, or simply poor customer service, the overall experience left a bad impression. Also, the cart path only on multiple par 5s... NOT COOL! In summary: beautiful course, challenging design, excellent conditions, and a layout worth playing. But for $128 a person, I expect to spend the day focusing on golf, not participating in a live-action customer service obstacle course. Cantigny? Been there, done that, bought the overpriced tee time, and won't be back for a sequel.

    We were playing here for a charity, unfortunately, Kurt, the nasty starter, told us even though…read moreCovid is a concern and two people who were playing with us are from states with high covid cases, we had to share a cart and no single carts allowed. We will no longer play here as it's appalling that they seem to have no concern about the safety of guests.

    This course is not the St Andrews I started my golfing career on. That course had people I could…read moretalk to on the phone, had nice fairways that were clean and greens that were challenging and staff that was friendly. This course had none of that. This course had clumps of grass, sticks, all over the fairways, 16 out of 18 of them. This was the Jemsik course. Sand traps had tire marks going through them. And yes I know if I didn't hit in the sand trap I wouldn't worry about it, but if I hit on a fairway I would have to worry about sticks and clumps of grass so it didn't matter. Several times the ball would hit a stick in the fairway or a clump of grass and keep it from rolling or kick it to the side. The starter was no better, granted we had a golfer go to the wrong golf course but, telling me that there's a group behind us so we have to get moving while I was on the tee getting ready to hit my ball was a little bit much. I've left a review a month or so back and I think it got worse. Definitely hate to bash this course because it is a good course but you have to get better, and when people leave reviews you have to take those reviews into consideration and make those changes. You also have no option of 9 holes, I used to like going there playing 9 holes before I had to work. Definitely a notable change.
