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.
