Hey, I just did that ! Just the abbreviated version.
I'd play golf with a foursome of my choice, Brother & cousins. 2 rounds a day for 7 days .I'm choosy about golf courses, but a different kind of choosy. Lemme 'splain:
High end $ courses are not fun. They are set up for pros and dummies who want to say they played there.
So the criteria: Fun, fair, well maintained, variety of courses in the area. Low amenities - keeps out the riff raff rich( I need to trademark that line
).
I may not need that plane ticket
- Chicagoland has tons of old mature courses built in the 1920's. And new ones that look like Scotland.
And then big dinners downtown. Sox game, concerts,..... maybe charter fishing, museums day on the rain out days. Go to the Russian bath house. Old books stores, record shops. Fireworks night. Something for everybody.
