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.

Sunday round of golf

Can’t justify the price for the poor condition of the course. Why do we have to cater to the 1/2 of 1/2 of 1/2 of a percentage of people and put we/they on the scorecards. Please stop the nonsense already……

As expected?

So a few things - I have been here multiple times. I need to go during the actual summer time in order to really benefit from this course. Even though the weather was not too cold and a tad windy, playing conditions for the most part were ideal. However, a few things: Tee blocks weren't set up correctly, so I was guessing as to where to hit from back tees. There weren't a lot of people playing on this day, but because of that fact, there was a foursome who were just taking their sweet time on each hole. I told them I would just skip over them since I had to wait (I played alone). You would think they would either let me play through or something, but no such courtesy. No marshall driving around making sure pace of play was moving along.

I hate having to skip a hole, because you know, you paid the full price to play each hole... but I guess if it allows me to play at my own pace, it's worth it. I will definitely be going back because I love this course, but I can only hope it will be better the next time around.
