🎉 Congratulations to St. Andrews Golf & Country Club on celebrating 100 years in business! 🏌️

Founded in 1926, St. Andrews has grown from an ambitious vision for public golf into one of the most recognized golf destinations in the region. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 St. Andrews is recognized as Illinois' oldest family-owned and operated golf course and has remained family-owned and operated for five generations.

Over the years, the facility has expanded to include two championship golf courses, a nationally recognized practice center, banquet and event facilities, and programs for golfers of all ages and skill levels. ⛳

Beyond golf, St. Andrews has provided employment opportunities, hosted charitable events and fundraisers, supported local organizations, and welcomed generations of families and visitors. 🤝❤️

The City of West Chicago congratulates St. Andrews Golf & Country Club and the Jemsek-Hinckley family on this remarkable milestone and thanks them for their lasting contributions to the community, the golf industry, and the generations of guests who have helped make their first 100 years possible. ✨👏
