Edgebrook Golf Course

[Dan Michler]

hey guys.  

shawn, we'd love to have your help.  we are under the gun and can use any labor we can get.  contact jon brakel, or call reese and I at 714.235.0100.  this goes for anyone that has an extra couple of hours between now and noon on friday.  the grand opening time is high noon on saturday.  check back here for more details.

that being said, i have played a whole lot of courses in my life, and this is going to be fantastic.  i believe that it will be the most fun course in illinois.  and it is still only 5 minutes from my home.  game on.

should we not show up to play until noon then?

Anyone from K-town going to play this course on Sat.  I am interested and wouldn't mind carpooling.

[damonshort]

I'll be ready to play anytime after 9am. I'm in for playing doubles if you can find someone else that wants to play with us.

Damon and Mirth are both about your rating aren't they?

I'll be there a bit after 11; I'm up for doubles but the way my back has been lately I'm not sure I can keep up with Brice let alone Bruce..    I'm going to throw a little in Lombard at noon tomorrow (I'm working in OakBrook) so I'll know better tomorrow night.

[Jon Brakel]

Jon/Spike - What do you think the the average amount of time to play a round would be? 3 hours?

I'd plan on 3 hours. Noon is a good time because we will probably be putting finishing touches on the course Saturday morning. We had a couple of logistical problems today that slowed us down but I'm hoping that we will have a very productive work day tomorrow.

I changed the directions for the course--mapquest was wrong about the distance down Central Ave.

Edgebrook Golf Course is conveniently located within 2 miles of Interstate 94. Exit I94 at Touhy Ave. West and turn left at N. Central Ave/Carpenter Rd. The course is 1.5 miles down on the right side of the road. The address is 6100 N. Central Avenue, Chicago, Illinois.

You can also take Interstate 90 to exit 82A which is Nagel. Turn left on Nagel and then a right on Bryn Mawr. Turn left on N. Central Ave. The course will be on the left just after crossing the Chicago River.

Wish I could get out there but I have a double header today & tomorrow. 10 games in 6 days.

Sounds like it's going to be a great time...Unfortunately I'll be in the Madison, WI area all weekend.

[Clonefan94]

I'm going to try to make it tomorrow. Hopefully I can be there at about noon. I've got to run some errands in the morning and I could see them lasting most of the day. That being said, I'm still hoping to get there and shoot 100 or more. I've only been able to play a couple of times this year and my game is really off.

Guys, the round today was fabulous! I hope others had a good time as well. Jon & Reese, great job getting the first course inside Chicago installed.

[mirth]

The only criticism I would have is that the rate I paid was not what was advertised... I paid $19.19 today for 18 holes plus a cart, and according to my receipt I was charged the weekend twilight rate. According to the prices listed in the first post I was overcharged by $4.

[Jon Brakel]

I brought that to the attention of Reese, who is the person that gave me the rate info to post. He says the problem is that they haven't programmed a sku on the cashier yet and they were doing a normal rate and then a coupon to discount. Reese and the manager are going to work out the rates according to what Reese and the management company negotiated and they will e-mail me what they are. Reese says to expect them to be what I have posted. If anyone was overcharged I'll try to get you a free cart for next time or the money off---but understand that I don't have a financial interest in Fly 18 or the golf course, I was just an interested volunteer, so I don't have much say in what happens with the rates. I'll post here as soon as I know what the deal was.

[Brian]

I had a great time out there today and my arm is dead, thank you guys for a long course.  

[Jon Brakel]

Yesterday I shot a 78, Kelsey shot an 82 and Mirth got added to Kelsey's "list".  

I'm very tired and a little sore today. Thanks to everyone who came out for the first round of disc golf played out there. Many, many thanks to everyone who helped on the course--especially to Adrian Sr., Adrian Jr. and Mike Clark. The three of them are responsible for every basket being in the ground out there. Nick F. cut every Fly pad for the course plus a bunch extra and he was patient enough to wait around to do it!

[mirth]

Jon, one question for you or possibly Reese.... Are the rates pre tax or post tax prices?

[Dan Michler]

Had a pretty good time playing this course yesterday other than the fact that it was as cold as hell out there for the last 9 holes.  Its a nice long course which will give people a chance to throw long quite a bit.  I would definitely recommend that all disc golfers in this area at least give it a chance.

[Jon Brakel]

Jon, one question for you or possibly Reese.... Are the rates pre tax or post tax prices?

I would think that they are pre-tax but I'll find out the next time I'm out at the course.

[Dan Michler]

to play with a cart yesterday i payed $19.13

[Jon Brakel]

I talked to Reese on the phone today. He said they had just finished cutting the sod for all the amateur tee pads and were about to fill them with stone. He did a little bit of tweeking on the course on Sunday although I don't know what all he changed. We post poned our meeting until Tuesday so he could take advantage of the weather, so I won't know about entry fees until later in the week.
