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.

Course in Great Shape

St. Andrews is always a fun course to play. Many of the Par 4s play long. The greens are huge, which is a blessing and curse. You can get on the green but face a 40 to 50 foot putt. In other words, prepare for several 3 putts. The St. Andrews course was in great shape. Our only complaint is they don't bundle the price with a cart. The cart cost seem a bit high and they add on tax and amusement tax to the cart's cost, which seems odd.

Good course and pace of play

Played comfortably in 3.5 hours. Doesn't always go that fast, but this was enjoyable. Course was in pretty good shape for early in the season.

Spring Thaw

For mid March the course is in good shape. The greens are still thawing out but they rolled true. I usually play most of my off season golf here thanks to 36 holes and decent greens fees.

Rock bottom GC

This place used to be a golf Mecca in the west suburbs , a fun place to go practice, play or even eat and drink, unfortunately the days are gone…Mr. Joe Jemsek must be turning in his grave… no way is this place is worth anything more than $40 with cart, definitely not a 70.00 value …I would recommend other courses in the area until they hopefully turn it around And keep a legacy alive and strong. Wish them the best but I do believe I’ve played my last round here.

Fun winter course

I like St Andrews both 18 hold courses are fun

I do prefer course 2 it’s more challenging.

My only issue is that even though they are open in the winter they charge to much. Over 30 dollars to walk a snow coved course with 3 other people playing not good business.

So try to find a deal or skip this course

Fun course

I like St Andrews it’s simple, well kept, and open in the winter. They have two 18 hole courses so unless they have a huge outting on one of the courses pace of play is always pretty good. Today was only 27 with gusty winds so it felt like 14F so not to crowded about 20 people on both courses. They have all their carts covered in the winter so it’s not bad. I choose to walk for exercise and only 19 dollars.

You do stay warmer walking.

The staff is so nice and professional the employee greeted us at the door and asks for use by name so nice. I like the course and the other golfers here are always nice.

Winter wonderland

For mid December the courses were in good shape. Covered carts are available though cartpath only was the rule. We still finished as a group of three in about 3 1/2 hours. A good day was had by all!!
