Kenosha County golf courses to open for the 2022 season

For the start of the season, hours of operation for Brighton Dale Links and Petrifying Spring Golf Course will be from 8 a.m. to dusk, seven days a week, weather permitting. As the weather gets warmer, the courses will open earlier.

Kenosha County’s Brighton Dale Links and Petrifying Springs Golf Course will open for play, weather permitting, on Wednesday (March 16), County Executive Jim Kreuser announced Monday.

“If you’re looking for another sign of spring, here it is — Kenosha County’s award-winning golf courses will be up and running for a new season beginning this week,” Kreuser said. “It’s a great time to get the clubs out and get some fresh air at Brighton Dale and Petrifying Springs.”

Daily fees have remained the same great value for the last 14 years.

Dan Drier, PGA Professional and General Manager of Golf Operations for Kenosha County, said there are tremendous opportunities to create memories with friends and family at fantastic golf courses in natural surroundings.

“We have had much of the underbrush in the wooded areas removed throughout the golf courses, and we are excited with the addition of Jim Wallace as our new Superintendent of grounds at Brighton Dale Links,” Drier said. “We are really proud of our golf courses this season and look forward to our guests to play them.”

Daily fees have remained the same great value for the last 14 years, with value package options available including unlimited golf, senior, junior and twilight rates.

For the start of the season, hours of operation for both courses will be from 8 a.m. to dusk, seven days a week, weather permitting. As the weather gets warmer, the courses will open earlier.

A Spring Scramble is scheduled for April 23 at Brighton Dale.

Due to saturated conditions on the courses, the season will begin with a requirement that carts must remain on cart paths only. This will be strictly enforced. Violators will be required to walk the rest of their round, with no refunds offered.

To open up the season at Brighton Dale Links, there will be a Spring Scramble on Saturday, April 23. This is a 4-person, 18-hole scramble with prizes valued at over $5,800. The entry fee is just $65 per player. This includes greens fee, cart, boxed lunch and big prizes including a chance for a foursome to win a 2022 Adult Walking Value Package.

For seniors, Brighton Dale will host its Senior Scramble on Friday April 29. This is also a 4-person, 18-hole scramble that has prizes valued over $2,600 and costs only $55 per player. This fee also includes greens fee, cart, boxed lunch, and prizes.
