About this course

Flossmoor Golf Club, a cornerstone of Chicago’s south suburbs, whispers of a bygone era where golf was a gentleman’s game and camaraderie reigned supreme. The club’s original 18-hole layout, a product of the Golden Age, winds through classic parkland terrain dotted with mature trees and subtle elevation changes. Expect gently rolling fairways with an understated and even quaint character. Herbert Tweedie, the Scottish professional turned architect, left his mark on Flossmoor's design, a routing that favors thoughtful strategy over brute strength. While not a course often mentioned among championship venues, it has quietly hosted several Illinois State Amateur Championships, testaments to its consistent playability and understated challenge. Flossmoor, while not dominating national headlines, holds a special place in the hearts of its membership. Its appeal lies in its unpretentious atmosphere and dedication to the spirit of the game. It's a place where generations have learned to play, where business deals are struck on the back nine, and where the simple pleasure of a well-struck shot is celebrated above all else. The club remains a haven for those seeking a genuine and relaxed golfing experience. It is the place you go to play a relaxed round without all the fuss and pomp.

Getting there

Flossmoor Golf Club sits in the prosperous suburbs south of Chicago, accessible most directly via Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW), roughly 25 miles north, or O'Hare International (ORD) for those arriving on major carriers - both offering a straightforward 45-minute to hour-long drive through the residential corridors of the South Side before the landscape opens into the rolling, tree-lined streets of Flossmoor itself. Private aviation traffic typically routes through nearby Lansing Municipal Airport or the more robust facilities at Chicago Executive Airport in Wheeling, each within 20 minutes of the club's gates. The final miles unfold through one of Illinois' most established golf communities, where mature oaks and maples frame the approach to this venerable club, whose understated entrance and classic grounds announce a destination steeped in Midwest golfing tradition since 1897.
