Round 12 – Willingers Golf Club


Last month I made the trek down to Northfield with a friend to play one of my favorite courses in the state, Willingers Golf Club.

I’ve written a lot about Willingers in the past, so I’ll just mention a few new things here. The club was selling a new item in the pro shop: Willingers themed poker chips for use as ball markers. They were $2.50 each and came in a variety of colors. Nothing earth-shattering, but I thought they were unique and very nice:

Not much new to report on the course – it is still a great test of golf with little to distract you from the task at hand. The housing plans seem to be on indefinite hold and the gun club next door wasn’t active during our visit.

We played a very quick round, as we were followed by a not-quite-fast-enough-to-play-through, but always-on-our-tail threesome. Turned out one of them was the club champion, which I imagine helps to cut down on search time for lost balls…
