Chevy Chase Country Club

I love it here. We were here twice, once for Valentines Day and once for Easter. The staff is caring and friendly. The food is lovely. The price is right and the surroundings are top-​notch.

I will start by saying that Chevy Chase is a hidden gem as far as wedding venues go. My fiancé and I fell in love with online pictures of the exterior and set up a meeting to visit in person. We met directly with Jan who gave us a tour and showed us the newly renovated Devonshire room – it is beautiful. In fact, the both ballrooms are undergoing a multi-​million dollar renovation.
Although the physical building is amazing, the most important reason for the 5 star rating is the staff – particularly, Jan. From the moment my fiancé spoke with her on the phone, she has been above and beyond our expectations – thoughtful, knowledgeable and honest. She not only had all the answers to our questions, but had questions for us (most of the time things we had never even thought of). We feel like we have a family member looking after us and are sure Jan will make sure this day is exactly what we want!
We would give 6 stars if we could. Thank you again, Jan and the rest of the staff at Chevy Chase.

Beautiful venue, helpful staff! We were here for a wedding which took place outside and it was just perfect. The staff was friendly and helpful, bartenders nice as well!
The location is well cared for and has a ton of great photo op backgrounds.

Erin and I had our wedding reception in the Devonshire Room this June 6^th. Our 180 guests had a great experience. The venue was beautiful and because it was just recently renovated, we did not have to spend much money at all dressing the room up. All we did was decide on our linen colors, our chair designs, and our centerpieces.
The staff was very professional and competent and we felt very comfortable letting them make adjustments without our approvals. No micromanaging needed.
Jan and Wendy helped us with the floor layout and any tweaks they made during the day of the reception were the right ones.
We had lots of great comments on the food. The chef cooked the dishes just right.
The cocktail area and the patio area were definite highlights and facilitated mingling easily.
Finally, the acoustics in the room were excellent. No issues at all with echoes.
Overall a great venue with reasonable prices. We recommend this to future bride and grooms.

Had my wedding here in April in the Grand Ballroom. Beautiful and unique venue with amazing food and a wonderful staff! As a bride you are always worried about getting enough to eat on your wedding night, but the staff was so attentive I was actually able to finish my dinner and there was someone always there to refresh my drink. Food was delicious, got so many compliments on the prime rib and au gratin potatoes. Overall a pleasure to work with Wendy, Jan, James, and the Chef. They were very flexible, and always quickly responded to my e-​mails and requests.

This place is unbelievably amazing! Jan, Wendy and the whole staff are incredible and accommodating to your needs. They make what you need work within your budget.
My husband and I were married there a few weeks ago and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. Everyone left our wedding wanting more. The compliments were over flowing.
We used the grand ballroom for our wedding and reception. The room also doesn’t require a lot of décor because of the atmosphere. The room is the décor.
We highly recommend the Chevy Chase country club to anyone for any event.

My wife and I just recently got married at Chevy Chase CC. The venue went perfectly with our «Gatsby» themed wedding. We had a great time and as the days had passed since our wedding, the reviews started pouring in from our guests. All they could say was «wow». The food was delicious. The ambiance was terrific. Jan, Walt the chef, & James could not have been more professional as well as helpful. Add in Hailey & Patrick and our every need was attended to. This crew definitely made our day a very memorable one. If you are looking to host a wedding of 350 + people, go and see them. The only criticism was the passing of the hor dourves… Some guests never saw the wait staff much less taste the hor dourves. Overall, a great experience and I’m sorry the night had to end. Chevy Chase CC made it a magical night. We had many out of town guests whom attended this affair and CC CC assisted with the accommodations with neighboring hotels in the area. The manager Jan was great in assisting with many details and her advice on some were very helpful. The Chef, Walt, is a foodie and has great passion for making the cuisine of the night extra special. A very big «two thumbs up» for this place. If you are looking for a venue. Look no further. CC CC is comparable with high end hotels for weddings. I am extremely satisfied with event we hosted there and I highly recommend them.

PICK CHEVY CHASE AS YOUR WEDDING VENUE. Honestly, my husband and I were blown away with Chevy as our reception venue. If I could do it all again, I’d select Chevy Chase in a heartbeat.
Jan and Wendy made my life so much easier. As a bride, you tend to have a million things on your plate at once. Jan and Wendy made sure they worked with you throughout each step of the process and made you feel like you were their most important client. Every question I had, no matter how small or minute, they were there to answer. From our initial meeting to our tasting, to our planning meeting to the day before and the day of, each part of the process was easy, straight forward, and I walked out of every single meeting so grateful we had selected them.
As for our actual wedding, I couldn’t believe the extra miles they went to ensuring we had the best day ever. The reception looked stunning. It was so well run. I had zero guest complaints about not getting the right food or slow service. The bar was able to to easily meet the demands of our 300 guests. We are still getting compliments on how good the food was. And our band told us it was hands down the easiest venue they have ever worked with.
From a price standpoint, you cannot go wrong with Chevy. After doing lots of comparison of other venues in the area, you are getting a great deal with Chevy Chase and their food and the space is as good as, if not better, than the other high end venues we visited plus you get the added benefit of working with their amazing staff.
Picking a venue is probably the most important decision you make for your wedding and for us, it was the easiest. Chevy Chase was incredible and I would recommend it to every single person who asked us.

CC country club is absolutely the highlight of my wedding: what a delight to work with them! I’d definitely look for reasons to go back there for other events I organize especially during the Summer. The newly renovated patios by the grand ballroom is just beautiful. Simply elegant. Theres nothing better than the flowers and the green golf course in the background of an outdoor ceremony!
The best part though is their staff. Wendy and Jan are a delight to work with. Wendy responds to my emails within the same day and answers my question with professionalism and her years of knowledge. They both gave great recommendations every step of the way while accommodating our wants and needs. They even fed us at our details meeting. My husband stayed awake the whole time which was amazing ;)
The chef Walter was so friendly and accommodating as well. He always made a point to stop by and say hi and let us know we can request any kind of meals and he’d accommodate us.
The wedding day coordinator Janes was just wonderful. I designed all the details for my wedding and hand made a lot of things and was feeling overwhelmed about setting things up before the rehearsal. He listened to all my plans and assured me he got it and will take care of everything. I wasn’t sure what to expect and on the day of the wedding, when I came down from the bridal suit? The whole place was so beautiful I almost cried. Talking about bridal suit, they have absolutely the best and most beautiful one among all the places we looked at. It’s like someone’s loving room with nice red couches and tables and huge mirrors and windows to see the guests coming in. Also 6 bathroom stalls! Everything smells good (I’m picky with smell!) and fresh.
Back to James, he was there with us for the rehearsal. Patiently waiting for us to go through this multiple times and made sure we got to use the real ceremony site one time even tho there was another wedding coming up.
The food was delicious (I of course didn’t have time to eat but my guests told me), the cake was so good and the appetizers were extremely popular.
I can not expect a better wedding venue to work with. Their price is very reasonable as well. I recommend this place to all my friends. Wendy, Jan, James and Walter, you guys rock!!!

For a municipal golf course with rates between $ 34 – 50, CHEVY CHASE is phenomenal. Lush, well mainitained. Challenging but not overly absurd. Scenic and peaceful. Staff was pleasant. Wish this course were closer to my home.

Seriously one of the best banquet food, hands down!

Nice challenging course with good upkeep. Good clubhouse amenities and pro shop. However the staff spoils it all. Extremely rude and unprofessional on both of my visits there. One visit was even during a charity event.

Really enjoyed this course. Hole 9 is particularly fun. Could not take carts on hole #1. Slowed play. I wish I had walked.

YAY! I finally got the chance to come here for an event after the amazing Unilocal event that was hosted here last summer!
My friend had her wedding here on a Friday night, and from everything she said, they were really easy to work with. Her package included cake, and they allowed her to substitute the cake for a kick-@ss ice cream bar (AMAZING, BTW) since she doesn’t like cake!
The actual grounds are beautiful, it is centrally located to a lot of hotels, and the accommodations were wonderful. They actually got married there as well, and it was able to house all of her guests comfortably!
The only downside to the night was the surly bartender, and the setup of the bar was neat (in a circle) but not effective for 150 people to get drinks from there without a line. People would just walk up 10 minutes later and be served before the ones who had been waiting for 15+ minutes. And it wasn’t even me who was shafted, I was just a spectator to this sadness as I was sitting in one of the cool booths near the bar!

This place went out of their way to earn 1 star. If I could give zero or negative 5 I would. I had my wedding reception there. The service was good, the food was good… You’re think I should give a higher rating right? Well, read on.
It was a big event, and a small thing led to absolute abuse by the staff. The next day we noticed that that cake server given to me by my best man was not returned after we cut the cake, and instead we were given the used /​beat up ones the Club has on hand. Again, a little annoying but not a big deal. I went the following day to see if they had it, I assumed it was simply not brougt back out after we cut the cake. Up until now I had a good relationshi with Wendy, the Catering Manager, and her Manager, Jan, above her as well. Well let me tell you, they are a whole lot different after that last check was cut.
I asked them to look for it. She said no, they are not resposible for lost or stolen items. They wouldn’t even look! I was a little annoyed, so I told them they are indeed responsible for items they lost or stole regardless of a sign on tthe door, and its a simple matter of looking.
Out comes their real face.
They tell me one of my guests probably stole it, and they looked liked the kind of people who would.
I was dumbfounded… Jan just insulted my family? Why are they putting their foot down over such a small piddley little request. They can’t even look for it? That certainly didn’t happen before I signed that last check.
I assured her my family would have no interest in stealing it.
She then told me I was probably too drunk to even know what happened to it, I probably didn’t even have my own, I just was to far gone to know it.
Again, I was dumbfounded. The only alcohol I drank was for the champain toast, I had far more important things to do that night, like dancing, which I told her in no uncertain terms.
«Dancing?» she said, then followed it by telling me the DJ said we were the worst party they ever had.
At this point I called «shenanigans», I had a great time with the DJ, and even snuck away to get a smoke with him at one point. We had a nice conversation, he was a great guy. I gave him a fat tip, and included him in some fun photos. (I called him the next day, and he said he was in shock by her statement as well, and was furious that she would try to lie about him. They never even spoke he said. He concluded that perhaps they had me confused with another party?)
I let emptyhanded, belittled, insulted, and flabbergasted that they couldn’t even look. On to the honeymoon, I’ll deal with iot when I get back
I called after the honeymoon told her I have the wedding video, and I can prove that I did have a special serving knife and that it was last seen when they wheeled the cake into the back, and all they had to do was look and see. Maybe they gave it to the other wedding party on accident, can they please call the other bride I asked.
Again Wendy and her boss come with the insults. They say «How dare I tell them how to do their job, they don’t have to do a damn thing» I was drunk they said. I never had one they said. My family stole it they said. They aren’t looking at my damn video they said“
At this point I was quite upset, and I had enough. I was calling the Wheeling Park District, reporting them for how they treated me, and at least getting the value of the items back (Not that I wanted the money, I just wanted them to either look for it, or call the other bride from the other wedding room)
Finally Jan growls at me .“If I call the other bride and ask, will you leave us alone once and for all“
Biting my tongue I agree.
2 days later I get the following terse email from Wendy:

We have the cake knife and server. Come get them.

*** No apology for calling my family thieves and drunks, no admitting they were wrong for saying I never had a nice knife, no saying they should have just called earlier without me having to threaten to go to the park district. Just get your knife and server.***
I was insulted personaly, my family was insulted, my wife was insulted by these two.
*****BE WARNED*****
Once your done paying they dont give a rats butt about you. You can forget about it, they don’t care. They are the worst professionals I have flat out ever dealt with in their demeanor and attitude. I can not properly describe how awful of people they are. Beyond Terrible. If you could only have seen how they spoke, how little they cared, you would run for another place. Just pray it goes perfect, or you are on your own.
I would highly reccomend you find a better place until Wendy and her Jan get fired, and I am sure they will at some

The grounds are beautiful. The facilities charming and they know how to throw a St. Patrick’s Day party!
We were entertained by an incredible band called the «Matt Stedman Band». They were so versatile that they could easily move between classic Irish songs to a little blues, jazz and it’s all so smoooth. I even bought their CD.
The next delight was the wonderful Trinity Dancers. Such talented young girls. It’s inspirational. You can easily see how Irish Dance was the root of other forms of dance– tap, ballet… Irish dance goes back to the fifth century– maybe even further– had the Viking raders not destroyed all the books and records from this period.
The only part of the evening that was lacking, was the dinner. Yes, I know that Corned beef and cabbage is not known to be an exciting dish– but you’d be surprised at how much of a difference a little salt, pepper and maybe even butter could make :)
All in all a good time was had by all and we will be back.

The best place to have your wedding! I was married at at the Chevy Chase in Oct, and two months later people are still talking about how fantastic the venue was. When I first visted Chevy I thought it would be out of my price range simply by appearance, but to my surprise it was more reasonable than most of the gaudy places I had been lookin at! The grounds are beautiful and we were married outside, the food waw delicious, even my pickiest relatives thought so and the staff were AMAZING! Even if I had the income to get married t the Drake or wherever I wanted I would definitely never trade my experience at Chevy Chase!

We went to an event in their parking lot to watch a Bears game on a huge screen, complete with rides, games, food and beer! It was a great event, I wish they would do it more often… or something similar. I think it was also in conjunction with the Wheeling Park District, so great job guys!
The facility itself is usually pretty busy. They do have clean bathrooms.
I’m going to a wedding here soon… I’ll update my post if anything changes!

For shame Chevy Chase! Not a single golf cart on site for us to take on a drunken late-​night joy ride. What would Ty Webb think!?! Again I say for shame!
Well, I didn’t come here for golf (or with the express intention of getting arrested), I came for a wedding reception. The grounds themself are fantastic, the buildings well kept, but the serving staff couldn’t seem to get their timing down. They also didn’t seem to care for our table as they only rounded twice with the appetizers and that was after going to every other table. I know we were the table of «randoms» but that no reason to ignore us. Eeesh.
Also, they didn’t seem to have the timing of dinner service in order, and why give us coffee when you’ve JUST served us dinner. By the time the cake came the coffee was cold. Boooo.
The bartender, however, did an amazing job. She certainly kept the beer flowing, which is always appreciated at a wedding.
It’s pretty here, there are little patios outside the small reception rooms which are good for cooling off or catching up with someone you haven’t seen in a while.
Overall, it’s a fine place for a reception, but the staff might want to work on their skills.

The calendar might read February, but that doesn’t mean Golf is far from my mind. My buddies and I have a golf association, complete with tournaments and golf outings. Every year we try out some new courses in the area and play our tournament there. We are just a bunch of good friends that love the game of golf, and by no means are we scratch golfers.
I just wanted to write this review about Chevy Chase Country Club, because by far its one of the best golf courses I’ve played in. Our tournament went off with a hitch last Summer, and everyone at the club was very accommodating. The service here is excellent, and the golf course was in pristine condition.
Everything from the Clubhouse, to the Pro Shop was top notch, and I would recommend this golf course to anyone in a heartbeat! I’m itching to play golf like Tiger Woods… errr, maybe I wont go there. If your looking for a very good public course around the area, this should be one of your first destinations.
