Flossmoor Country Club is a country club located in Flossmoor, Illinois. Founded in 1899, the club hosted the PGA Championship in 1920, which Jock Hutchison won.

Besides most notably, the 1920 PGA Championship, it should be noted that Bobby Jones held the course record for over sixty years. Jones often played midwest courses during World War II in an attempt to help raise money for the American Red Cross. Jones' feat occurred after making a triple bogey, and then following it up with eight consecutive 3's for a course record of 66. This record held until 1996, when a member by the name of Mark Egge broke it with a 65.
