St. Andrews Golf & Country Club - Joe Jemsek Course
Rating Snapshot
About
There are two championship golf courses available at St. Andrews Golf & Country Club in West Chicago as well as a top-ranked practice center. The Joe Jemsek Course, formerly known as the Lakewood, was added in 1929, three years after the club opened. Unlike the original St. Andrews Course, the Joe Jemsek Course has a hillier terrain. Although it is shorter than the other golf course at 6,770 yards, the elevation changes make it seem similar in length to the 6,920-yard St. Andrews Course. The course features tree-lined fairways and strategically placed bunkers, offering plenty of challenges but overall it is not an overly intimidating layout for beginners. There are several long and demanding par 3s throughout. The best example being the tricky second hole, which has a green that is guarded by two deep bunkers and towering trees.

Nice course but
The course was very nice. I would like to play it again but the guy (Dennis) in the pro shop was very unfriendly and snobbish. His attitude sucks.

great staff
Fun time controlled by course ranger. I started on the wrong course and the ranger caught up with me to get me to move to the proper course and continue play with my appointed group of players. Was moved so that I didn't cause problems with the league play. Ranger was very helpful and let me play with others.
