GOLF IN NOVEMBER in the Chicago area. Yes it’s a wonderful thing and you wish it could last.

The last week has been great for golf in the Windy City area, but that is going to be changing in the next few days, and not for the better.

At first it appeared that Cog Hill’s #4 Course-Dubsdread, was sold out yesterday. But in truth the course has been closed for the 2020 season, and will reopen in 2021.

For now Cog Hill has three courses open, 1-2-3. Course #2 called Ravines has some scenic holes, and is quite a challenge. Ravines has it all, when it comes to sand, water, uphill & downhill shots.

The 14th hole on Cog #2, Ravines.

Ravines is still open for 2020, and it’s in great shape.

The Cog Hill maintenance team was on the course yesterday doing leaf clean-up and leaving the course, in golf ball findable condition.

With a strong wind yesterday, it was great playing many of Ravines holes, since it left your shots with a tailwind more often than not. So when your looking to play yet this fall, don’t rule out Cog Hill just because “Dubs” is closed. Three other good courses to pick from.

OR, at least it was available !

If your looking for a great beverage to serve your favorite beer drinking friends over the holiday, then make sure your stocked up with Cog Hill Long Drive Pale Ale, IF YOU CAN GET IT.

Right now Cog Hill does not have any. The brewing partner with Cog Hill, is Pollyanna Brewing, and with practically being shutdown from the Covid-19 Pandemic, it’s still TBD when the brewery will start making the tasty Cog Hill beer again.

It would be nice of Cog Hill could get some back in stock for it’s holiday sale, that comes around in early December.

What Cog Hill does have is it’s own honey made on the grounds at Cog Hill.

Hole-In-One Honey-made at Cog Hill (farms).

Alright if you can’t get Cog Hill beer, and you can’t get the Cog Hill wine, do go and try Cog Hill Honey, that has been out on the shelves of the Cog Hill pro shops, for this entire year.

The honey comes in two different sizes, and in two different colors.

A lite colored honey, with a golden look to it, is from the batch in the spring time. The darker colored honey comes from the fall. Cog Hill still has limited supplies of honey left, but it’s going quickly, and there might not be any left for the Holiday Sale in December, so grab yours today, or take a chance on some still being available in early December.

Add some in your tea, or during breakfast, or even in the BBQ sauce. Always a winner. As for golf, the day after Thanksgiving, the Black Friday Turkey Trot still has some spots open. Visit Coghillgolf.com or call (866)-COG-HILL.
