About Cantigny Golf Club

Cantigny Golf Club in Wheaton, Illinois is one of the most prestigious and beloved public golf facilities in the entire Chicago metropolitan area. Part of the Cantigny Park estate — the former home of Chicago Tribune publisher Robert R. McCormick — the club offers 27 holes of meticulously maintained golf in an extraordinary setting of formal gardens and historic grounds. The three 9-hole courses (Woodside, Hillside, and Lakeside) can be played in various 18-hole combinations, each offering a distinct character. The design by Roger Packard and later renovations by Andy Staples produced a layout that is both visually stunning and strategically demanding. Cantigny regularly earns top marks from Golf Digest and Chicago-area publications as the best public golf experience in Illinois. The facility includes a world-class practice area, upscale restaurant, and the First Division Museum — all within the stunning McCormick estate grounds. It is a truly unique public golf destination.

History

Cantigny Golf Club was opened in 1989 on the grounds of the McCormick family estate, which was bequeathed to the Cantigny Foundation for public benefit. The course was designed by Roger Packard, with subsequent modifications maintaining its championship-quality character. The combination of historic estate setting, exceptional maintenance, and thoughtful design has made Cantigny an iconic Illinois public golf destination that draws visitors from across the Midwest.
