GOLF NOW! Chicago

PUBLISHER'S WELCOME Welcome to an exciting new 2022 golf season, and our 20th Year Anniversary Issue of GOLF NOW! Chicago, Chicagoland's Premier Golf Destination Guide. We know that 2021 was another banner year for the golf courses, even as we all continued to navigate in a world with many changes and unique challenges. New golfers hit the links this past year and have plans to play more golf this season. Make way as the newest line-up of tomorrow's pro golf stars return this season to The Glen Club for the exciting NV5 Invitational presented by Old National Bank (previously known as the Evans Scholars Invitational) on May 24–29. General admission will again be complimentary thanks to the kindness and generosity of SERVPRO of Glenview! For more information on securing your upgraded tickets, various volunteer opportunities, and full event schedule, visit NV5Invitational.com. Check out our newest section in this year's golf guide—Indoor Golf Facilities so you can hone your golf game all year round. We list many Chicagoland and NW Indiana facilities with state-of-the-art golf simulators, PGA pro golf lessons, expert club-fitting, golf leagues, and after-golf food and beverage offerings. Now you can elevate your experience of a day of golf at Sandy Pines Golf Club located in DeMotte, IN into a stay at Sandy Pines! With two fully detailed cottages completed, and two more slated for spring of 2022, Sandy Pines is creating quality accommodations to fit into the fabric of their facilities. GolfPass "Golfers' Choice Awards" in 2021 ranked Sandy Pines as the 12th Best Course in the U.S., and the No. 1 Course in Indiana. Lastly, this is the year to plan that annual trip to the amazing French Lick Resort to play the award-winning Donald Ross Course and The Pete Dye Course – or just get away and enjoy the spacious casino, outdoor pools, horseback-riding, special events, and more! Remember--life is short, so golf now!
