When the resort operator opens its new Gurnee, Ill. property next year, F&B offerings will include Barnwood, a restaurant serving locally sourced small plates and craft cocktails that will also be open to non-resort customers. Great Wolf will also try to tap into the emerging food-hall trend with a multi-restaurant, open-seating dining area anchored by four diverse eateries featuring “higher-end, family-friendly” offerings.

A controlled burn of a swampy area at Bittersweet Golf Club in Gurnee, Ill., by employees grew to several acres, and several regional fire departments extinguished the blaze. In Mission Viejo, Calif., a golfer at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club accidentally started a 20-acre brush fire when his golf club struck a rock and produced sparks. Though the fire was ruled unintentional, investigators will decide if the golfer will face consequences.
