Join us for our annual Par 3 Challenge & Revelation Golf Fundraiser! Sign up with a partner or let us choose a partner for you.
The format is a 18-hole, 2-person team best ball competition. Players will play their own balls and keep their own score; the team score on each hole is the lower of the 2 scores. The competition will not be handicapped. Prizes will be given to the teams with the lowest team scores, as well as on-course contest winners.
We will utilize the Golf Genius app for live scoring. At least one player per team should download the Golf Genius app to their phone prior to play.
After golf, drinks and snacks can be purchased at the golf shop while you mingle with other members.
Note: The registration form contains a question about golfer ability level, just to assist us with forming teams. Click here for a description of golf skill levels.
Charity Fundraiser
$10 of your event fee goes to Revelation Golf, an LPGA*USGA Girls Golf provider. We will also sponsor an optional hole-in-one pot, to be split between anyone with a hole-in-one that day. If there are no winners, the pot will go to Revelation Golf.

Course Information
Nickol Knoll Golf Club
3800 N Kennicott Ave
Arlington Heights, IL 60004
Nickol Knoll is built on 56 hilly acres and is one of the most unusual par 3 courses in the state. Three holes feature vertical-drop tee shots and two holes boast up-hill shots to the green. The 9-hole, par-3 course features 27 sand bunkers, and water comes into play on two of the nine holes. Famous Chicago Bear Walter Payton used this site for his daily exercise routine - hence the aptly named “Paytons Hill” on the 3rd tee! On a clear day you can see the Chicago skyline.
Carts are available for rent at the course but are limited in availability and cannot be guaranteed. Players should be prepared to walk. There is a putting green but no driving range at the course.
All players will play the Red tees for the first 9-holes and the White tees for the second 9-holes. The shortest hole is 69 yards and the longest hole is 136 yards (actual yardage will vary).
