You needn't be a golfer to enjoy a twenty minute golf cart trip across the verdant fairways of River Bend Golf Course. Everyone is welcome, even those who've never held club. There's no dress code either.
However, if you're not a fan of murderous ghouls, haunted bridges and malevolent scarecrows, you may wish to abstain from this round... it's not one you can win.
It's the “Haunting at River Bend” and along with the "Trail of Terror" at the Community Park, it's part of late October activities in Lisle, Illinois.
The haunting begins at the 19th hole aka The View Restaurant. A ‘train’ of several golf carts takes off from there, following the cart path through a multitude of "scare points" more frightening than a downhill four footer.
This particular event takes place in the mid-west, but scary golf is taking place all over the country in honor of Halloween. Look for a haunting in your area... if you're brave enough.
BTW - It seems I've been drafted into I've volunteered to take my friend's two little ones to the Haunted Mini Golf this weekend.
You are doing your part to spread the joy of golf. Besides, you get to give the little ones back. :o)

ReplyDeletefor hallowed halloween adventure, sleepy hollow, and that headless horseman lurking, on the far out tenth hole, with thick woods on both sides is pretty scary too

It's always scary when I play golf. Sadly so.
ReplyDeleteWe have a Halloween tournament every year. This year it's going to be glow ball & costumes for the first time. I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite golfers, but I still can picture Jimmy Furyk as Ichabod Crane- also the villain Brom Bones by Tony Soprano, and the lovely Katrina Van Tassel by Cristie Kerr.
ReplyDeleteGo Yankees!!
Oh I hope your haunted minigolf tomorrow isnt'too scary. Last year I took my niece and nephew on a haunted hayride that traumatised them... and me. It was terrifying. >:(
ReplyDeleteI just reread The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Ducks is so right Jim Furyk would be the perfect Ichabod Crane.
ReplyDeletei just saw this in the NYT's

having attended a women's am US open (bill murray made a cameo appearance and actually caddied for a few holes) there i walked off the course and got lost in the neighborhood (and that was in the day time) and that was scary - i wouldn't want to be lost there in the night
