The Meltdown 2025: June 19, 2025 at PrairieView GC in Byron, IL

The Meltdown 2025
When: Thursday 6/19/25
Where: PrairieView GC, Byron, IL

Last year this came together in typical Refuge fashion, with a random “Hey I might go play 36 at PV” from @djheadley. Next thing you know we have 16 people melting in some impressive heat in the shadows of the Byron nuclear plant cooling towers.

So come join us for 36 holes at a municipal gem in north central IL and visit the best centerline tree in the state. This year I have secured blocks of 7 8 tee times starting at 7:40am and 1:10pm. There is currently a very short waitlist, and if there is additional interest I can ask the course about more.

Sign-up sheet

Life happens, and I understand if you have a last minute conflict and need to cancel. I just ask that you give me as much heads up as possible so we have a chance to fill the spot.

Cost, payable at the PrairieView pro shop
(Yes, these are real, and they’re spectacular.)
First round: $29 green fee
Cart if you want it: $21
Second round: $20 replay rate

More details on the overall event format as we get closer, but we’ll set it up so the games are per-round in case people can only play one round.

Spoiler alert: It’ll be Quota, and we’ll raise a little money for a charity to be named.

Can’t believe PV is still only 50 bucks. Gotta love northern Illinois.

Followed up with PV and they’ve added another set of tee times for us.

@djheadley @dobee87 @Ballgame and @Hawkeye89 you’re in.

Added as an alternate. For those that haven’t played PV yet it’s a ridiculously good course for the $$$ and well-worth the $200 in gas to make it out to Byron.
