 CRU Golf Outing

CRU will be hosting a shot gun golf outing on September 6th at the Ruffled Feathers Golf Course. Designed by the legendary Pete Dye and his son P.B Dye, Ruffled Feathers Golf Course offers 18 devilishly unique and demanding holes in a superbly crafted, simply gorgeous setting. As the only Dye-designed golf course in the Chicago area, this premium golf jewel has been hailed with Best New Course honors from Golf Digest and Golfweek magazines.

The genius of this must-play course is evident in the holes themselves; exquisitely sculpted fairways, strategically placed bunkers and water, and beautifully framed and contoured greens. If you love playing a championship caliber on a well-conditioned golf course, don’t miss this opportunity to play at Ruffled Feathers.

The shot gun start will begin at 1:30 PM. Players may choose their own foursomes. Beverage carts and box lunches will be provided. The cost of the outing is $85 per player, which includes green fees and cart. The dress code for this course is collared shirts required, no jeans/denims or cut-offs allowed.
