The Highlands of Elgin Oct. 17 (Pics Added)
« on: October 05, 2010, 10:46:40 AM »
Hello all,

I was curious if any GCAers wanted to get together for a round on Sunday Oct. 17? I was thinking Pine Meadow or The Highlands of Elgin. Pine Meadow is offering a walking rate of $57 for the rest of the year (weekday or weekend) -OR- Keith Foster's new 9 at the Highlands opened in July, so it should be worth a trip to check it out. Has anyone been out there yet and have any thoughts??

For those interested you can reply or send me a PM...thanks...

Matt

Well, that gives us one foursome so far, and it looks like we'll head to Elgin for the Highlands. Any other takers??

Matt,

I'm fairly new to GCA, but would definitely be interested in
checking out this course.  I don't know if there are any spots left,
but if there are, I'll take one.  If not, maybe next time.  I have
a large American automobile and would be willing to drive if that
helps.

Looks like it's going to be a good weekend for golf in the city
where corruption is always in fashion,

Andrew,

We'd love for you to join us (notice how comfortable I feel speaking for a bunch of guys I've yet to meet ;D). You'd make 9, so for now three 3somes will be in order...unless there are more takers. Do I hear 12???

The participant list for this outing looks eeirly familiar...Midwest Mashie Part II?

In the same vein as Andrew C's note, I'd be happy to give a ride to anybody who needs one.  I live in the River North area downtown.

Just played The Highlands of Elgin today.  If you like Shepherd's Crook, you'll love this course.  Y'all are gonna have a blast.

I'll play if there's still room.  I played there last year when it was half old, half new, and I wouldn't mind checking out the new nine.

And Michael makes 11, one more and we'll round out three foursomes. It's not exactly Muccipalooza, but it should be a good time (and it looks like excellent weather too!).
