Supposed to play Sunday afternoon/evening if its dry.
Cog Hill offers family golf on Saturday (course 1) and Sunday (course 3) evenings. $13/person for golf w/cart. Starts at 5:30pm.
For anyone in the area with youngins, I highly recommend the family golf. Even if its a bit of a drive, for that rate its worth it to play. Cog #1 was in near perfect condition. As close to a country club as I have ever seen on a public course, and this was at 6pm after a busy Saturday on a holiday weekend. It was absolutely awesome. More than enough daylight for 9 holes...we actually played 11. My wife played her first round in about 5 years and while she had a couple duffs, she was able to move the ball 80-100yd more often than not. Once my little guy got the hang of things (one ball per hole, each person takes their turn on the green, drive up to shorter tee, etc) he had a blast. If he keeps at this game my guess is he will beat me by the time he is 10 or 12. They don't really have the family tees marked well. They are there, but its a small round marker next to the cart path in the grass so very easy to miss. We just went to 100 yards and they teed up there.
I played the regular tees, and holed out for Eagle on the par 5 sixth. My first time ever doing so on a full swing. Have done it MANY times on chips or pitches, but this was about 65yd uphill to the green so took a full swing with my 60° and the ball dropped in the hole just as it died out. I was pretty pumped. That closed out a stretch of three consecutive 3's (par, birdie, eagle) also something I had never done outside of a par 3 course. Had a rough start, but shot 38 which was very cool.
Went out the Sunday at Silver Lake and did not do so hot. 49-46 for a 95. Started out with bogey on 7 of the first 8 holes which is fine. Then the wheels sort of fell off as I wasn't able to muster a par until the 14th hole. The beer was really getting to me but somehow I birdied 17, then whiffed on 18
Swallowed my pride and went to the drop zone, got up and down for a 5.
Cannot speak higher of the family golf at Cog. Simply a wonderful evening that we are going to try to repeat on Father's Day weekend.
