Welcome to the 2023 golf season at Idle Hour Country Club! We are looking forward to kicking off the 2023 season with our team of experienced and friendly golf professionals who are eager to serve you. We hope that you’ll rekindle friendships and establish several new ones as you embark on the great season. We have updated our Year in Review to include a summary of highlights from this year as well as a calendar to look forward to for 2023. Inside you will find pictures from the year, tournament dates, new staff members, and helpful information of the “culture” of golf here at Idle Hour Country Club. Whether you are a serious golfer, a newcomer to the sport, or one who just enjoys relaxed, casual play, we want you to enjoy Idle Hour to the fullest when you are here. We look forward to helping you show off your Club to your friends and family as you invite them to experience all that Idle Hour has to offer. Watch for communication this Spring on tournament sign-ups through Golf Genius and any updates on the golf course. Thank you for reading along the Year in Review and we look forward to seeing you soon at Idle Hour Country Club!
