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.

Not going to blow the roof off your doors

The range is good. Great layout. But the course upkeep is nothing special. Good price at $25 to walk. Greens are SLOW. Bunkers either have no sand or to much sand with rocks the size of golf balls in them. The tee boxes are super uneven. They haven’t put any money into this place in 30 years to improve it at all. Just sell it for houses at this point. That being said I’ll play here 30 more times this summer cuz it’s $25.

Old School Course

This is a classic course. Greens were in good shape but a little slow. Bunkers were in great shape . Tee boxes were in great condition. Fairways were also well groomed. Have used the range in the past and it one of the best in the area. Staff was friendly especially the beverage cart girl. Overall a great place to play.

This is my Home course I enjoy it The only Thing cost to play is very high if you want to rent A cart The price with a cart can get up 65.00 bucks I always Wish if the are going to charge that price a little better attention on the greens Every course should fined away too make the cheapest tool to fix divots Give them out to each group and let them no where trying to give you the best greens I enjoy playing both courses The back However it’s great The last 2 holes Not a fan of the water setup on those holes If you had to fix something that would be something that could be addressed I enjoy both courses Very important the greens to a little more attention on them I have had to putt on some greens placements having to golf over disease parts of the greens trying to get a good putt

Great value

This course plays well for all skills. Unfortunately there isn’t much of a difference from blue tees to white. Was a windy and cold day so tough to gauge distances. Wish they had more clear markers on sprinkler heads with exact yards to center of green but there were stakes in the ground in the rough with 100-150-200-250 markers. Love this course and will play more often! Also staff was super friendly and let me know of the replay option. Ask the pro shop staff for details.

Great course for the money

Course was in great shape for the beginning of March. The greens were a little long but expected for the time of year, but were in great shape. Staff extremely friendly and entire course was playable.

Challenging for all levels

Narrow fairways rewards better players but little OB opportunity provides forgiveness for beginners. Great walking course as well
