Course and Event Details

Seven Bridges Golf Club
Woodridge, IL

Seven Bridges, one of Chicagoland’s top courses, is a visually stunning course with rolling hills and varied terrain. Located about 30 minutes from both downtown Chicago and CIC, Seven Bridges provides an escape from life’s hustle and bustle. As suggested by the name, water is featured prominently throughout, especially on the back nine, providing a challenge for all skill levels.

Check in will open in the morning with lunch to follow. After lunch, golfers will all tee off in a shotgun start. Upon completion of the competition, there will be dinner served during a brief program, including speeches and a raffle.

Helicopter Ball Drop

Our helicopter ball drop is a fun, exciting way to support CREF! For just a few dollars, you can put your name on a golf ball to be dropped out of a helicopter towards a pin. The holders of the three balls that land closest to the pin will receive cash awards of $1,000, $500, and $250 respectively. Buy a ball for a chance to win big!

You do not need to be present to win! Anyone can enter and win the helicopter ball drop, regardless of golf attendance.
