Palatine Hills hosts Golf Fest on Saturday
Free games, instruction and contests highlight the Palatine Park District's Head to the Hills Golf Fest on Saturday, May 13.
The event, scheduled from 2 to 5 p.m. at Palatine Hills Golf Course, 512 W. Northwest Highway, allows visitors to meet with golf professionals and course staff at the driving range to work on swing basics and use of fairway woods, hybrids, and drivers. On the putting green, guests can get instruction on putting, chipping and bunker shots.
The FootGolf course will be open for a mini tournament from 2 p.m. to approximately 3:30 p.m. FootGolf is a hybrid sport that combines soccer and golf as players kick a soccer ball into the 22-inch hole.
Contests will include long drive, putting, short game, and closest to the pin. In addition, lawn advice will be shared by course care professionals.
