Chicagoland resort course plans an April opening after one full season of growth and recovery. An amenity of the Lincolnshire Marriott Resort, the course received 50 acres of new turf following the devastating flood.
With spring on the horizon in the Midwest, Chicagoland’s Crane’s Landing Golf Course at the Lincolnshire (Ill.) Marriott Resort, announced its official opening this April. The course will have 50 acres of new turf.
“Crane’s Landing Golf Course has been a staple in Chicagoland’s North Shore area since 1975. With roughly 50 acres of new turf planted in the fall of 2017 after the Des Plaines river flood, and now having had one full season to fill in, 2019 stands to be a very good year for the course,” said E.J. Bertke, director of golf and PGA Apprentice at Crane’s Landing. “And while the new turf presents a beautiful new landscape for ease of play, it’s the course’s fun and challenging layout that has kept golfers coming back for nearly 50 years.”
Crane’s Landing will celebrate its April opening with discounted rates and August 2, the Lincolnshire Marriott Resort’s annual Children’s Miracle Network golf outing raises money for the children’s charity. Golf clinics will take place throughout the season and be posted on the golf course’s website.
“The par three ninth hole is still as picturesque as ever running parallel with the Des Plaines River, and the tranquil ‘triangle’ that consists of holes 14, 15, and 16 is still as quiet, peaceful, and a fantastic homestretch to finishing your round of golf,” said Bertke.
