About
Cantigny Youth Links Programs take place within the larger Cantigny Golf setting, which includes Cantigny Youth Links and the Cantigny Golf Academy. The programs are connected to facilities such as heated hitting bays, private training studios, and a custom club fitting studio at the Cantigny Golf Academy. Participants are based at a course that is part of a Golf Digest Top 30 Course in Illinois.
• Schedule: Driving range access is available all season, and the Cantigny Golf Academy remains open year-round.
Cantigny Youth Links Programs operate alongside amenities that include an all-season driving range, Ice Rink & Cocoa Cabanas, Fareways Grill, a clubhouse, a pro shop, and multiple golf nines called Lakeside, Woodside, and Hillside. The golf course and clubhouse are undergoing a renovation, with construction continuing in 2025 on the Lakeside nine, and the clubhouse scheduled to remain closed through winter and reopen in May 2026 while golf operations run out of the Cantigny Golf Academy. Cantigny Golf has adopted a cashless payment system and accepts credit, debit, and digital payments for all transactions as of November 19. The programs are part of Cantigny Golf, which is connected to The Robert R. McCormick Foundation. Leadership connected to the golf operation includes General Manager Chris Pieters, Head Golf Professional Matt Tullar, Director of Instruction Connie DeMattia, and Youth Links Head Golf Professional Emily Burns, along with other directors and managers in agronomy, food and beverage, sales, golf events, and catering.
