St. Andrews Golf & Country Club - Joe Jemsek Course
Rating Snapshot
About
There are two championship golf courses available at St. Andrews Golf & Country Club in West Chicago as well as a top-ranked practice center. The Joe Jemsek Course, formerly known as the Lakewood, was added in 1929, three years after the club opened. Unlike the original St. Andrews Course, the Joe Jemsek Course has a hillier terrain. Although it is shorter than the other golf course at 6,770 yards, the elevation changes make it seem similar in length to the 6,920-yard St. Andrews Course. The course features tree-lined fairways and strategically placed bunkers, offering plenty of challenges but overall it is not an overly intimidating layout for beginners. There are several long and demanding par 3s throughout. The best example being the tricky second hole, which has a green that is guarded by two deep bunkers and towering trees.

great staff
Fun time controlled by course ranger. I started on the wrong course and the ranger caught up with me to get me to move to the proper course and continue play with my appointed group of players. Was moved so that I didn't cause problems with the league play. Ranger was very helpful and let me play with others.

Cool Weather Golf
Played Monday morning 5/2. We had had a lot of rain so it was cart path only on the course. We played the Joe Jemsek side, was in very good condition even with the rain. We were the first ones out and were done in2 hours and 50 minutes-would love to play fast like that all the time!! Why does slow play have to happen??
There was no issue with our pace of play, we played in in 2 hours and 50 minutes. I was commenting in general about why is there slow play out there at all courses.
We apologize for the pace of play issue you experienced. We always try to keep a great pace when having our golfers on the course. Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback as we will use your review to better the experience going forward. We hope you give us another try in the near future!
