Opened in 1926, in the "Classical ERA" of U.S. course development, St. Andrews Golf & Country Club has been recognized as the oldest family owned-operated golf course in Illinois.
St. Andrews Golf & Country Club was originally built in 1926 as a rival to the Chicago Golf Club. Since then, the club has built its own reputation and stands out for its two championship golf courses and top-ranked practice center. The St. Andrews Course is the club's original layout before the Joe Jemsek Course was added in 1929. It is also the longer of the two golf courses. The club and course draw their name from the famous Scottish club known as the "home of golf," but the course is far from being a seaside links. Instead, the mostly flat layout weaves through mature trees. The golf course offers a challenge with tight, tree-lined doglegs and large, contoured greens framed with sand bunkers. It has a memorable finish with a par 4 that features a water hazard along the entire right side of the fairway.

Nice Course, Improved Staff

Course has always a good challenge. To many walkers interspersed with rider's slow down the pace of play.

Not the best

There were whirlybirds all over the greens, had to make a path for every putt. The grass in the rough wasn’t mowed, so hitting out of the rough was like hitting it out of the crap.

February golf in Illinois

For being in February in Illinois the course was in great shape. Alls it needed was some ball washers out every few holes. The staff is great. I parred the first two holes with GIR’s. It took me til the 3 rd hole to pick up my bad habits
