Weekend Golf Getaway at Rend Lake - October 10th & 11th
Details
For this year’s Weekend Golf Getaway we are once again returning to where it all started: Rend Lake Golf Complex in Illinois. Our first Weekend Getaway was in 2007 at Rend Lake. Rend Lake Golf Complex is situated in the heart of the beauty and adventure offered by Rend Lake. It is located approximately 90 miles east of St. Louis and 90 miles west of Evansville, only 2 minutes off Interstate 57.
The courses feature large bent grass greens averaging 7,500 square feet per green with zoysia fairways and tees. There are numerous water hazards with wide continuous cart paths throughout. The meticulous landscaping creates a mature, natural setting that is inviting to golfers of all levels.
If you've never been out of town on a golf trip, or even if you've been out of town on many golf trips, this is one you don't want to miss. This is a casual outing with no competion. It's all about having fun with your fellow golfers and fun on the course.
In addition to golfing, The Whittington Wine and Art Festival is a popular annual event that showcases regional wines and local artistry and is also scheduled for October 10th and 11th. Attendees can sample wines from various vineyards, enjoy live music, and explore artisan vendors. The festival will be happening very close to the golf course.

HOW DO I PAY?
- Payment will be made once you arrive at the course. You will pay for your lodging at Seasons Lodge, which is located next to the course. Then proceed to the Club House to pay for your golf and get your cart. The combined charge between hotel and golf will equal the totals above.
- Also – if you plan to have a roommate, let us know. We do not assign roommates. Seasons Lodge will be happy to split the hotel charge between two credit cards, but I need to alert them in advance who will be sharing rooms. Each golfer will pay for their own golf.
