COG HILL HOLIDAY SALE UNDERWAY TODAY From 10-3PM IN THE 2-4 Building.
A Deere is running through Cog Hill on the 9th hole.
THE WORK IS UNDERWAY AT COG HILL.
Course #4 the famed Dubsdread is undergoing the knife, some 15 years after the last major work was done.
But this time, it’s not a full renovation of the golf course. Because it’s a bunker project, with some green work and a handful of trees coming down as well.
The Better Billy Bunkers are going in, to a golf course that has always had enough sand to challenge the best golfers.
Your on the first at Cog Hill.
Architect Greg Muirhead part of the Rees Jones team, is back on the course, over-seeing the project like he did back in 2007-with an assist from architect Joe Jemsek.
But as winter closes in-the work is moving along, but there is much still to do. Because currently the digging has been on holes 1,2,3,9 and 10. The remaining holes are staked out-but the bunkers have not been dug-up.
The Mistwood Golf Dome-open daily until 10 PM. Home to Toptracer and McWethy’s Sports Bar. Located in Bolingbrook on Rt. 53, call and book a bay at (630)-739-7600.
The third green has had some additional work done to it, so it’s currently covered.
There are a few places where some trees have come out. But the number is very small, so for those of you golfers that work the golf ball, you won’t gain that much room.
Dubsdread #4 did close early this year so the work could begin. But it will also reopen late in 2024, giving things time to settle before it’s balls in the air time.
The 3rd green on Course #4 at Cog Hill.
So as of now, the “hopeful” reopening date for 2024 is June 1st.
But as anyone who follows golf course improvement projects knows.
They rarely do open on-time. Sometimes it’s only an additional 2-3 weeks, sometimes it’s a month or 6 weeks. So hope for a winter that is not too harsh, and a spring that is even better. But until then the Jemsek’s will have Courses 1,2 and 3 up and running which leaves golfers 54 holes still to choose from. Cog Hill Golf as always-open all year.
