This has us eager to get into the swing of things! Mark your calendars for our annual golf outing on Friday July 17th. More information to come!

🌤️ This upcoming stretch of nice weather has us excited too!

We’ve had a few people ask if the course is open yet, so we wanted to share a quick update:

Sycamore Golf Club is still CLOSED and not ready for play. But, we’re working hard to get everything in shape for the season.

We kindly ask that everyone please stay off the course until we officially open. This helps protect the turf and ensures the course is in the best condition possible when opening day arrives.

📅 We’ll be sure to announce our official opening date as soon as we’re ready.

Thanks for your patience and support — we can’t wait to see everyone back out soon!

Hey PARK2PARK Pace Setters, let's light up the night!
Tomorrow's forecast has sunshine all day, with it being 32° at the start of the workout! How great!
Join us for a group workout where we start together, stay together, and shine together!
Last year, walkers started with the runners but walked straight up Parkside Dr to Cloverlane Dr, where they met the runners.
Like or comment that you'll be there for a fun time! 🎄
