I concur with Seth, it fucking slaps
It’s a fair course and one hole in particular is divisive, but you have to experience it to form your own opinion.
Nothing too unfair off the tee, greens are pure, and the elevation change is used well.
Otherwise, make sure your putts have good weight and you bring your aides
Tale of two nines. Front is flatter and probably a bit easier, although 6-8 is a challenging stretch. 6 is a tough driving hole. 8 can be a tricky par 3 depending on wind.
Back 9 is where the elevation really varies. The par 5s 11 and 15 are the stars. 17 another tricky semi-blind par 3. 14 and 18 bombs away.
Zigfield Troy is sick. Take your kids, take your wife, take your friends. Green complex’s are awesome and are running at the correct speed. #9 green
Another place I used the range numerous times and not the course. Need to knock it out like Belmont this year.
Is it going in the Chicagoland par 3 rota?
ZT was my son’s first round of golf.
I think he loves Lost Mountain mini golf more.
Hello all, my name is Tom and I just joined the group. I found the discord link but got an error saying it expired, not sure if that is the best place to join in on the conversation or if the refuge here is but just trying to expand my golfing world and get to know more NLU fans. Live out in the NW burbs but play all over. I’m a member at Stonehenge in Barrington IL (just a golf course, doesn’t even sell booze) so not sure if there are any others in the group that are members but I’m always looking for other folks who have a very flexible job and can sneak out for some daytime golf.
Hello friends - I am sure everyone is excited to have the US Women’s Open headed to the Midwest with their upcoming stop at Erin Hills. I have a foursome at Erin on June 7th at 6:59 am (the Saturday following the event) and I am looking to fill two spots.
We are just up for the day so this is just a golfing expedition. we’re hoping the course will still be in fire condition post event.
Send me a note if you’re interested. I’ll make sure to update this post if/when the spots are filled.
Crack on!
As an FYI, that’s the same day as The Summit at Mount Prospect, which is the 2CGC major. Most of us will already have commitments that day.
Ah thanks for the heads up there - been out of the Refuge game due to some personal stuff. Wanted to attempt to fill the spots instead of changing the res to a twosome.
Good luck to all those competing at the event!
I play out there a bunch. I have a friend that’s a member also.
I also have a flexible weekday schedule, so let me know when you want to play.
I am blessed with a 4 day work week and have Fridays off
Gents, long time listener, first time poster… which means I have no idea if I’m even posting this in the right place. I’m moving from the Plex to Chicago (Wicker Park area) next week, which means I will no longer be a C-Suite country club golfer for the time being. I’m hoping to get involved in the local Roost and start being a lot more active in some of the Roost and NLU events. It’ll probably be a few weeks before the dust settles and I can get out the sticks, but I’d love to know where to play and get to meet some of you NLU lovin’ Chicagoans. Let me know if I’m doing this right!
Welcome! A lot of activity is in our Discord. I’ll send you a link.
Home to my only *hole in one.
*Does not actually count
Oh yes it does. @BadBrad and I declared on the first tee that did one go in it absolutely counts.
Of course a non ace club member would agree to that
Two spots still available for The Meltdown on Thurs June 19th. Do you have the day off? Come play 36 at PrairieView with us.
