Salem Country Club occupies a site along the edge of Salem, Illinois, where the fairways are bordered by mature trees and sections of low-lying ground that collect water after heavy rain. The course is managed by a small staff and maintained with a combination of older equipment and newer mowers purchased in the past decade. The clubhouse is a single-story brick building constructed in the 1960s, later expanded with a modest addition that houses the pro shop and a dining area seating about forty guests. Membership is drawn primarily from residents of Marion County and nearby towns, and the club hosts a handful of local tournaments each season. The irrigation system relies on a combination of well water and city supply, and the greens are predominantly bentgrass, cut to standard heights for daily play. Cart paths are asphalt and run along most holes, with several crossings over small drainage ditches.
Salem Country Club currently has (within 1 mile) no homes for sale.
