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.

st. andrews in great shape

this course is in outstanding shape.

rough is rougher than usual...so keep it in play.

bunkers are in better shape.

The staff is friendly and accommodating.

because of golf pass & golf now, St. Andrews's is affordable, otherwise, it's kinda pricey.

I’ll be back

This was a fun course! There are two 18’s and i played the one on the North side. The course conditions were fine. It had just rained the day before. So, many of the bunkers were pools of water (luckily I avoided them 😉). The greens were a bit slow, but not beat up. The only real issue was that the fairways were a bit long and the rough was a bit short. That is not so much of a complaint, given how forgiving that is to play, but it is an aesthetic issue. Perhaps the rain played a role in this.

Also, I gave “pace of play” five stars, but a grain of salt is perhaps necessary. I was part of the first foursome of the day. So, we were our only hindrance, in terms of time.

All in all, I really liked the course and will definitely be back.

Saint Andrews never disappoints

Course was in very good condition, staff was very friendly. The pace of play was a bit slow as there were several twosomes ahead of us, and instead of having them combined into foursomes, they left them separated, which back things up a bit. We literally dropped our last putt on 18 as the sky opened up and poured down rain.
