Book It Wednesday

Don’t forget to join us for our book club event this Wednesday at 6 p.m. Twin Cities author Kerry Casey will be at Caddyshak to tell us about his decision to include Hayward Golf Club in his latest novel called “The Wager.”

Stop by for food, drinks, camaraderie, and discussion about the book, and get an insider’s look into what goes into writing a novel. Plus, there’ll be a drawing for Chrome Soft “Thou Shalt Not Three-Putt” golf balls.

Come to the course, get a book signed (makes for a great gift, too), and be a part of this unique evening.

Bring a Group to Hayward Golf Club

With the fall season rapidly approaching, it’s a great time to consider bringing a group to HGC! Large or small, we can accommodate groups of any size.

With our course conditions being among the very best in the Northwoods, the Caddyshak Bar & Grill equipped to handle your food and beverage needs, and a variety of lodging and nighttime entertainment offerings in the Hayward area, Hayward Golf Club is ideally positioned to provide a great golf excursion for you and your group!

Fall Passholder Promotion

Now that we’re on the verge of September, it’s time to once again roll-out our Fall Passholder Promotion here at Hayward Golf Club.

It works like this: beginning on September 1st, if a person — who has not been a Passholder for the 2021 summer season — pays for a 2022 Pass, they will be extended Passholder privileges for the remainder of the 2021 fall season.  It’s an excellent opportunity for prospective Passholders to get some extra value and take advantage of Passholder play in the fall at HGC.

So if you’ve been pondering possibly becoming a Passholder with us, this is too good a deal to pass up! And to our current Passholders, if you know any friends, family, or neighbors who might be interested in joining the community, send this information their way!

Contact the Pro Shop for any additional details or to sign-up.

Lastly, one quick note that the Caddyshak kitchen will be closing at 2:30pm on this Saturday, the 28th, for a private event. We appreciate your understanding!

Joe Kuta Senior Tournament — Sunday, September 19th

The 19th of September will be the day of our annual Joe Kuta Senior golf tournament.  It’s a fantastic event, and always one of the tournaments we most look forward to each season!  Open to golfers (both Passholders and non-Passholders) ages 50 and above, and flighted by handicap.

Entry is $30 for Passholders (which includes food at the turn and prizes) and $50 for guests (which includes green fee, food at the turn, and prizes), with an optional skins game.  Tee times will run between 9:04am and 11:36am.

For more information, or to sign-up, contact the Pro Shop at (715) 634-2760.

Our First-Ever Book Club — Join In!

Exciting news! We are hosting a one-of-a-kind event at the Hayward Golf Club: a book club featuring Twin Cities author Kerry Casey. He’s written a golf novel called “The Wager” and a number of the scenes take place on our course as well as in and around Hayward.  It’s a great read! I finished it in three days.

The book costs $20, with $10 going back into HGC projects, so it’s a win-win. The book club discussion will be held with Kerry at the Caddyshak on Wednesday, September 1, at 6 P.M. The Caddyshak will be open for dinner off its menu that evening, so this will be a fun opportunity to enjoy food, drink, and camaraderie, and to ask Kerry questions about what goes into writing a novel. “The Wager” is available in the Pro Shop—just talk to Ben or his team.

Fellow golfers, let’s read more than greens this August! Be a part of this unique, fun event.

Steve Nichols
President, Hayward Civic Club
