A golfer preparing to take a shot near a pond.

The Kankakee Elks Country Club sits on 2283 Bittersweet Dr in St. Anne, and the course itself tells you everything before you hit your first shot. Designed by the legendary team of Langford and Moreau, this is a genuine golden-age layout, the kind of classic architecture that serious golfers drive hours to find. The fairways roll the way they were meant to, the greens reward thoughtful play, and the whole experience feels like stepping into a piece of American golf history.

Beyond the game, this club carries the values of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. That means real community. The course has hosted events like Buddy Check 22, a veteran suicide awareness initiative that brought together local supporters for a cause worth swinging a club for. When a place opens its doors for something like that, it tells you who they are.

At a 4.4-star rating across dozens of reviews, golfers consistently call this course a must-play for anyone who appreciates classic design. Come out, walk the layout, and see why this corner of Kankakee County keeps pulling people back.

What We Offer

The club offers 18-hole golf on a course that rewards every skill level, from the weekend player learning to shape shots to the scratch golfer chasing a clean scorecard. The Langford and Moreau design means you are playing architecture with intention, not a manufactured track.

Memberships are available for those who want regular access to the course, and the facility accommodates group outings, charity tournaments, and private events. The Elks Lodge connection opens the door to a broader social calendar as well, including community fundraisers and veterans-focused programs that give your rounds a sense of purpose beyond the scorecard.

Sports coaching and athletic programming round out the offerings, making this more than a place to play a round. Whether you are looking to sharpen your game or host an event that matters to your community, elksgolf627.com is the starting point.

"Thanks for hosting Buddy Check 22 in support of battling veteran suicide. This was my second Buddy Check event held here. The first event was back in early spring and the second was yesterday. The course looked great. Very nice greens. It's not your fault I am a terrible golfer 😉. The meal upstairs in the big room was very tasty. I look forward to coming back."

"I have been playing this course for close to 10 years. I live in Miami and my wife's family is from this area so I bring my clubs and really look forward to playing the Elks when we visit because it is a gem. I've played the Blue Monster and Torrey and every course around Miami and Elks is still at the top of my list of great courses and the prices are something you only see at Augusta for a beer and sandwich. For selfish reasons, I hope this place isn't ever truly discovered for the remarkable course that it is but if you're lucky enough to play here, be grateful."

"My 1st visit to this great course. Love the layout and history behind these great designers. Course is in great shape despite lack of rain. Green complexes are awesome, with the middle of them your best friend. $33 to walk is a steal. A must play!!"
