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.

Fall golf

Played Monday Oct 2nd. Very cheap golf now rate.

I thought maybe greens were aerated. I was told that occurred a few days earlier. Greens were great. Maybe the best ever at this course.

Played in under 4 hours. Felt like we were at a private course

Good, Bad & Ugly

The St Andrews Course had some nice features , a good club house and was a fun course overall. However, the 5.5 hour round was atrocious and whoever is the marshal/ranger should be fired, I didn’t see them once and it was a brutally slow day. Add to that they charge $23 for a cart, which was almost as much as I paid for the whole round.

Only play before 10am during the week.

If you like slow play and even slower greens and have every single tee shot be unlevel this course is for you. I’d only recommend playing the course before 10am during the week when it’s $24 walking (they dont add the cart on golf now cuz it’s $19 extra for gas powered no less). This course isn’t worth over $40 right now. Maybe if they leveled off every tee box, actually cut the greens, and didn’t have tee times every 8 minutes this course would be worth $45. That being said it’s my favorite lay out in the area and I play it once a week. 8 am for $24 walking. The range alone has to make millions how about putting that into the course.

Great Shape

St. Andrew's course was in great shape. The greens are huge and the pin placements were challenging. The pace of play was great as well. The back 9 is longer than the front so your best scoring should come from the front 9.

Crazy cart price

Nice course. Good layout. Too high price for carts, 36.

They kept up with cutting the Fairways but tons of clover and other weeds, even on the t boxes. Pace of play good but we started 645.
