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.

Must try at least once

Bent grass fairways. Nice Layout. Plenty of trees. Some water but not enough to scare you. I am old and injured so I didn't like to walk up a hill to all reds tee box.

$21 is too much for carts

Both St. Andrews courses are very nice and in good condition.

My complaint is that they charge too much for carts. $21 for one person to rent a cart. Most courses charge $10 or $15 for a cart.
