Play in the Weber Park Golf Course Night Scramble

Join us at the Weber Park Golf Course for this 9-hole, two-person night scramble with a shotgun start. Entry includes one LED ball, a glow necklace, and prizes for the winners. Enter night putting and chipping contests for an additional fee.

If you haven't visited us during our regular daytime hours, Weber Park Golf Course is the perfect place to learn to golf or work on your short game. Located behind the Skatium Ice Arena on the northwest side of Skokie, the par 3, 9 hole course features bent grass greens, challenging sand traps, and beautiful landscaping. The course is also home to the game of FootGolf, a golf and soccer hybrid sport with giant holes and a very small learning curve.
