Hawthorn Ridge Golf Course

[05/17/19]   Well, guess what? the weatherman missed again, we are in the middle of a downpour and will close the course for today. Check back tomorrow.

[05/17/19]   Hawthorn Ridge is open for play today Friday May 17th, we only received 6/10's of an inch of rain overnight. The carts are out and ready to go. The weatherman forecasts the rain to stay North of our location today.

[05/15/19]   Just in case you aren't aware the water from Pope Creek receded off of the 14th fairway later that afternoon on May 1st, so Hawthorn Ridge is in excellent shape to play some spring golf.
If not for the pictures posted on face book, no one would suspect that the creek had overflowed it's banks.

Hawthorn Ridge has renovated the corner stone plaque on the clubhouse. Commemorating the year it was built by Deane Frye Inc. of Aledo

[05/12/19]   Hawthorn will be open at 6:30 Sunday morning for you early bird golfers. Keep in mind it may be a bit chilly that early tomorrow morning. I’ll see you later after I attend mass at 8 o’clock. Happy Mother’s Day to all the blessed mothers out there. Gary Baker

[05/11/19]   The rain has stopped and Hawthorn Ridge is drying up and playing quite well,so schedule a tee time and come on out this weekend. 309-582-5641. Gary Baker

Something new in the Mitchell Warwick memorial room to cool you down after a hot round of golf. Three ceiling fans. Now all we need is some drying weather to give them a try.
