With weather being up and down for golf this spring, many golfers are already out hitting the links! We’ve had snow, 80 degree days, nasty spring storms and even tornadoes. We all know that April showers bring May flowers ... as well as a fantastic but short Chicago golf season! Get ready for a summer filled with fantastic professional golf tournaments, tour quality golf and great getaways! Get tickets now for the upcoming NV5 Invitational at The Glen Club! Who will be the next super golf star?

There’s nothing like summer in Chicago, and the 2023 NV5 Invitational presented by Old National Bank will be one of the hottest tickets in the area this year. 

The annual Korn Ferry Tour championship has a new spot on the calendar, moving to July 25-30 at The Glen Club in Glenview, Illinois. The change from its former Memorial Day weekend position puts the NV5 Invitational in the middle of a critical closing stretch of the Korn Ferry Tour calendar, with a talented field of golf’s rising stars competing for a coveted promotion to the PGA TOUR. 

The NV5 Invitational has been a major stop along the road to PGA TOUR stardom in recent years. Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler won the inaugural championship in 2019, and Cameron Young captured the title in 2021. Will Zalatoris narrowly missed in 2020 when he finished in a tie for second. Harry Hall, the 2022 champion, is playing on the PGA TOUR this year. In all likelihood, the 2023 winner – and as many as 29 other players – will join him. 



All proceeds from the event benefit the Evans Scholars Foundation and its mission of sending youth caddies to college. Golf fans can sign up for ticket and volunteer information at www.NV5Invitational.com. Fans can also secure upgraded ticket options like The Hangar presented by Corona Premier, a private open-air venue behind the 18th green with food and drinks included.

Tee It Up Where The IRISH Play! If you like playing championship-quality golf courses with green fees that won’t break the bank, then The Warren Golf Course at Notre Dame is a must-play this summer!

The Warren Golf Course at Notre Dame provides a premiere experience at a price that will surprise you. Rated the #1 Golf Course in Indiana by GolfPass as well as the #4 Course in Indiana and the #9 Best College Courses in America by GolfWeek in 2022, the course features the beauty and upkeep expected from a premier course.

The design of the Warren Golf Course is reminiscent of the classic, walkable Irish and American courses built in the late 1800s and early 1900s, with short distances between the greens and tees. Winding its way through 250 wooded acres, the course incorporates traditional elements of the great golf courses of the early 1900s and – unlike many modern layouts – is built on subtleties rather than special effects. Lush fairways, softly rolling terrain and the Golden Dome in the background make the course a beauty to behold.

The clubhouse is open to the public and houses some of the finest in men’s and women’s golf apparel, with the Warren Golf Course logo as well as traditional Notre Dame merchandise and souvenirs. The Warren Grille, which is operated by Notre Dame Food Services, boasts a new menu that serves traditional golf course fare as well as specialty items and sandwiches. The outdoor patio overlooks the luxurious 18th green and features a pleasurable gathering area for golfers following their round. This area is additionally used for events year-round and open for public use. They look forward to hosting you this season!
