St. Andrews Golf & Country Club - St. Andrews Course
About
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.

Overall a great experience. Staff was very friendly and accommodating and the course was in tremendous shape for the weather, snow and cold that has slammed Illinois.
Would definitely play again

Winter golf
One of the few Chicago land courses open through the winter. Conditions are obviously not the best but green fees are cheap so can't complain. Orange of play was on the slow side this particular day but it was pretty busy since it was a warmer winter day.
Great course
If you are looking for someplace to play when the weather starts getting cold this is your place. They have cart covers on the carts already which until it snows can extend your playing season if you don’t have your own cover. Course isn’t the most interesting but the greens are very challenging and it’s always in good shape despite the amount of play during the summer. Definitely one of our go to courses.
We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced with the pace of play and the lack of management by our rangers. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we will take your feedback into consideration to improve our services.
