Winter Blahs Cured by Bolingbrook Golf Club
I sit here looking out over the vast landscape of cold and snow in Chicago, wondering how I’m going to make it to the spring. We have some great tournaments coming up on TV and we’ll even get to see Tiger Woods in a few weeks at the Match Play, but that really doesn’t make spring in Chicago feel any closer.
When these things get me down, I go to the internet and try to simulate that feeling of looking at golf courses, thinking about single-hole strategy, and appreciating the fine design of a great architect. I can do that at the site of Bolingbrook Golf Club.
It is a decent golf course and we’ll have a review sometime in 2007. But for now, let’s just sit back and appreciate the website. Spring feels very close when you go the course tour. They have a narrated fly-over for all 18 holes. As with the clubhouse, they did not skimp at all at the website. What muni has enough cash to hire a helicopter and write code to embed this in the website? Well, probably one that charges around $90 a round.
