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.

St. Andrew

I was very surprised when I had to pay for cart. I could have golf Arrow Head in Warrenville. Very nice couse includes cart for the same money.

Turtles Pace

The front 9 took over 2 and a half hours with no ranger in sight. They need to do a better job watching people teeing off from the wrong tees. Wanna be golfers teeing it up from the tips does not promote speedy play.

great local course

played both courses. Fun course to hit after work and has an excellent practice area. Staff is inconsistently great, some really care to help and others are just there to get paid which is fine. Lessons are good

Wish they had a couple of shorter par 3s. The few I remember were very difficult for me, I’m also not very good so it could just be a skill issue

Jemsek Course is steady

The conditions on the Jemsek are always solid. Not spectacular, but solid. Pace of play early in the morning is excellent.
