Golf in Chicago has become extremely expensive over the last few years. Found a cool website that tracks prices for peak times. My thoughts below

Must Plays for Best Value:
Highlands of Elgin
Prairie Landing
Sunset Valley
George Dunne

High Price but Worth it:
Glen Club
Mistwood
Thunderhawk
Cog Hill Dubsdread - play at non peak time
Harborside Port/Starboard - play at non peak time

Extremely Overpriced, don’t pay:
Bolingbrook - thanks LIV
Preserve Oak Meadows - $57 increase in 3 years!?
Cantigny - nice but way too high
Ruffled Feathers - absolutely not

A nice look at 18 green. Come on out and give it a shot. Great golf. Fascinating history.

@golfweek @eamonlynch LIV "player dissent is contractually forbidden, so they applaud themselves with the forced enthusiasm of the North Korean politburo when Comrade Un is scanning the room." 😂 Outstanding line Eamon 👏

May's Community Hero is 45-year volunteer, Darryl Lokenvitz! Fun fact about Darryl - ya know those orange paddles that the volunteers use to tell the flight path of the golf ball? That was Darryl's idea and now, it's a best practice, used across all the major golf TOURS!

Makray Memorial hot dog. $7.70. Delicious with great char. But the bun was soaked and tasted stale.

@ShotPattern @GolfTourChicago @BryanTweed16 @TalkBirdie2Mee Cary CC #2 is 325 yards from the back tees, but with the very elevated tee box it frames nicely and gives delusions of grandeur 😀
