In 2023, Andy was named the Illinois PGA Player of the Year. The award, known as the Bernardi Award, has been a goal of Andy’s for several years. Mickelson has now finished inside the top 15 in the Bernardi Player of the Year race every year since becoming a Class A Member in 2019. “Winning the Illinois PGA Player of the Year is a huge accomplishment for me,” said Mickelson. “I put a lot of time and effort into my game and it’s cool to see it pay off. I had a pretty good season. It seemed like I had a lot of top 10s to go along with the one win earlier in the year. But a couple of second-place finishes and good runs at the majors helped put it over the edge. I’m really happy with how the season played out.” Andy is responsible for the operation and strategic direction of all golf related assets including the pro shop, golf course service staff, and the Mistwood Performance Center. His dedication and attention to detail have been a force multiplier for Mistwood Golf Club.

Mistwood Golf Club in Joliet, IL has developed a reputation as one of the premier public golf facilities in both the Chicago-area as well as the Midwest region. Mistwood has gone to great lengths to ensure that daily-fee golfers can have an experience that mirrors one from a private country club. On the heels of a multi-year renovation project, Mistwood has earned accolades such as Golf Magazine’s “Renovation of the Year,” one of Golf Digest’s “Best New Courses,” and Golf Range Magazine’s “Top 50 Public Ranges.” The course itself is an eclectic mix of holes that will test every club in your bag. Featuring 20 St. Andrews-style pot bunkers and five sets of tees, players will be challenged no matter the weather. The first few holes can lull even the most elite players into a false sense of security, as there are birdie opportunities abound, provided you avoid the bunkering. Hole #7, “Doon,” is where you begin to feel some pressure. A long par-3 with a large green seems inviting, however, Lake St. James, a 65-acre lake looms immediately behind the green to swallow up errant and overly forceful shots. It also provides a glimpse of what’s to come on the inward nine. The final nine begins with several shorter par 4 holes with ample landing areas. The par-3 14 th hole, “Kelpie’s Lookout,” begins arguably the toughest inward stretch of six holes in all of Chicago. As one of Mistwood’s signature holes, it features an elevated tee and a shot that is all carry over the aforementioned Lake St. James. You’ll find yourself squeezing the club just a little bit harder now! Hole #15, “Kelpie’s Bend,” is a 90-degree dogleg par-5 around Lake St. James that will have you longing for the less claustrophobic terrain of the front nine! Once you’ve successfully navigated the last few holes, head in to McWethy’s Tavern to treat yourself and celebrate a job well done. Mistwood’s clubhouse is a visual masterpiece and the golf shop has a myriad of apparel and accessories to help commemorate your experience. The Mistwood golf experience will exceed your expectations and provide a new standard that will rival many of your future rounds.
Since 1962, Mistwood has woven itself into the fabric of Chicago’s golfing heritage. From its humble beginnings as a family-friendly course to its recent transformation into a world-class destination, Mistwood has never lost sight of its core values: community, challenge, and a passion for the perfect swing.
