Salem Country Club
About Salem Country Club
Salem Country Club is a semi-private club in Salem, Illinois, with roots dating back to the 1920s. The club has made numerous improvements to its course over the decades.
The 18-hole layout plays to a par of 72 and stretches from 5,232 yards at the forward tees to 6,467 yards from the back. Water is a recurring factor: an eight-acre lake comes into play on two holes, and additional ponds and creeks wind through the property.
Practice facilities include a driving range, which is open to the public, along with a practice putting green.
