St. Andrews Golf & Country Club - St. Andrews Course
Rating Snapshot
About
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.

Poor Course condition, layout, and management.
I just started playing at Saint Andrews golf course recently because I joined a golf league on Mondays.
I am 69 years old and an average golfer shooting around 90 on most courses
This course I have found to be a disappointment
The greens are extremely difficult with poor pin placements.
In addition, the grass is not cut often so the roof is extremely long.
There are trees, overhanging, many of the fairways, including tea boxes, which are position extremely poorly.
Yesterday, the golfers were forced to stay on cartpath only even though the day was sunny and beautiful, so the pace of play was unbelievably slow. Unless you kept the ball completely on the fairway at all times you were in trouble. Not smart management.
I found most of the management here, not very cooperative and not very friendly.
Today I quit my league here and it’s not worth my time. I would stay away from Saint Andrews like the plague.
Course conditions
The only issue that I had Was that the rough was a bit too high They could do with cutting the grass some more
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……
Not worth what they are charging
Good course for 65.00 not 100. Be careful rate is walking and then you have to pay again for cart
I've been playing St. Andrews for years and it was great for always finding a tee time and decent price.
Recently the pace of play been horrible. Over last 5 round have been 5+ hour rounds.
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.
Getting better
Course is getting better. Greens are better than last time I played although a little slow. bunkers good, tees good., some new carts and GPA is improved except when you get off the hole your playing
St. Andrews West Chicago - Course 1
Course is in nice shape and greens are well kept, Clubhouse food snd service is always great as well.
