🎸 Last Thursday was a hot one, but Rock5ive turned out to be “Just What We Needed!”

Here’s another look back at Rock5ivebandv2.0 taking on The Cars while everyone made the most of one very warm September night at Timber Pointe. 🎶

Now, how about this Thursday?

We’re turning the Hard Decks Sound Stage over to Random AF Band, and if the name suggests you never quite know what you’re going to hear next, you’re catching on. 😎

🏆 2024 RAMI Artist of the Year
🏆🏆 2024 & 2025 RAMI Funk/R&B Winners

Random AF is a high-energy party band playing everything from the ’70s through today, with music from Fleetwood Mac and Lita Ford to Wild Cherry, Bruno Mars and plenty more.

The last time they were here, they somehow went seamlessly from Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues” into Trick Pony’s “Pour Me.” Rock, funk, country, pop...expect a little of everything. Somewhat random, you might say. 😉

Come hungry!

🍕 Pizza Fresca — Wood-Fired Classic & Signature Pizzas
🌮 Mario's Taco Express — Tacos, Nachos, Burritos & Quesadillas
🍜 Thai Jasmine Rice & Noodles — Crab Rangoon, Veggie Spring Rolls and Chicken, Pork or Beef with Steamed Rice or Noodles

And the forecast looks pretty darn good too—sunny and around 80°! ☀️

One more thing...

There are only THREE Thursdays at the Pointe left this season. 😳

So if you’ve been saying “we need to make it out there one of these Thursdays,” this would be a pretty good one.

🎶 Eddie Money told us to “Baby Hold On,” and That Gurl gave us plenty of reasons to do exactly that last Thursday!

Their first set bounced from the Doobie Brothers and Christopher Cross to Stevie Wonder, Gloria Gaynor, Dire Straits and more. You never quite knew what was coming next—and that was half the fun.

Here’s a look back at That Gurl performing “Baby Hold On.” 🎶

And now, how about this Thursday? 🎸

Rock5ivebandv2.0 returns to the Hard Decks Sound Stage with a crowd-pleasing mix of classic rock, pop, R&B and country from the ’70s and ’80s through today, including favorites from artists like Styx, REO Speedwagon and Prince. The last time they were here, they gave us a terrific version of Elton John’s “Rocket Man”—so expect familiar songs and plenty of live energy.

Come hungry! Pizza Fresca, Mario's Taco Express and Rusty Drum BBQ will all be back, and with another warm evening ahead, we’ll have the frozen drinks flowing too. 🍕🌮🔥🍹

And if you’ve been saying “we’ll make it out there one of these Thursdays,” you might want to make that Thursday this one...

After this week, there are only THREE Thursdays at the Pointe left this season! 😳

Grab a lawn chair, round up some friends and come enjoy one of the summer nights we have left.

🏝️ CAST AWAY: SURVIVED! 🏐⛳

Our Cast Away Couples 9-Hole Event on Friday, August 14th put our castaways’ golf skills—and their survival skills—to the test!

Couples played our 2-Person “Survival” Scramble, with island challenges scattered throughout the course offering chances to subtract strokes from their final score.

And for our eventual champions, those survival bonuses made all the difference.

🏆 Congratulations to Nick & Erin Guth, who finished with a net 27 to win the event in a scorecard playoff over Jon & Kathy Althof.

Nick & Erin actually shot a gross 34, then managed to knock an impressive 7 strokes off their score through the challenges:

🏐 Wilson Volleyball Serve Challenge: –4 strokes
📦 FedEx Package Challenge: –2 strokes
🏐 Wilson Carry Relay: –1 stroke — working together, they successfully carried Wilson the required 20 yards in under 30 seconds without using their hands and without dropping him, earning another valuable survival bonus.

Apparently, they were just as good at surviving the island as they were at playing golf!

Our individual contest winners were:

🛫 “Rescue Flight” Long Drive — Hole 9 (using the slingshot)
Men: Kyle Rogers
Ladies: Ashley Rogers

🌊 “Open Ocean” Long Putt — Hole 6
Men: Kirk Hollenbeak
Ladies: Victoria Hendon

🏝️ “Island Landing” Closest-to-the-Pin — Hole 8
Men: Gavin Perkins
Ladies: Julia Saunders

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for another excellent turnout and, especially, for continuing to get into the spirit of these events. The costumes and creativity have become almost as much fun as the golf.

And then there was Guy Busch, proving that after enough time stranded on an island, even Wilson starts looking like a perfectly acceptable hairstyle. 😂🏐

We’re not entirely sure whether he was stranded with Wilson... or became Wilson.

Thanks again to everyone who made Cast Away such a fun night! 🏝️⛳

Last week, River Road Trio proved that sometimes the perfect song really does find the perfect setting. 🎶⛳

Their take on John Fogerty’s “Centerfield” brought a little ballpark energy to the Hard Decks Sound Stage—and when a band is willing to take requests and bounce from rock to country, pop and everything in between, you never quite know what’s coming next.

All we can say is...“Put me in, Coach!” 😄

🪩 THIS THURSDAY: That Gurl!

If you've been waiting for a night to break out the bell-bottoms, platform shoes and your best ’70s look, this is it.

That Gurl is a full-on party band built for the dance floor, bringing a high-energy mix of disco, funk, rock and pop with favorites spanning the '70s, '80s and '90s. Think powerhouse female vocals, big dance hits and the kind of songs that make it awfully difficult to stay in your chair.

✌️ Wear your favorite ’70s attire and help us turn Timber Pointe into a disco party for the night!

🍕 Pizza Fresca
🌮 Mario's Taco Express
🔥 Rusty Drum BBQ
Food starts at 5:00 p.m.

☀️ Mostly sunny and around 80°—about as good as it gets for an August evening outdoors.

Great weather. Great food. And a whole lotta groove. See you Thursday! 🪩🎶

Unfortunately, Mother Nature left us without any highlights to share from last Thursday. 🌧️ With the rain forcing us to cancel Thursdays at the Pointe, our usual look back at the previous week's performance just wasn't possible.

So instead of looking back, we're giving you a look at what's coming this Thursday. 🎶

This week's musical guest, River Road Trio, returns to the Hard Decks Sound Stage at Timber Pointe, and this video of their 2024 performance of Matchbox Twenty's "3AM" gives you a pretty good idea of what you're in for.

We've heard some incredible guitars, horns, drums and voices this summer—but this week, the piano gets its turn in the spotlight. 🎹 Watch around the 2:00-minute mark, when Kyle takes over the keys and shows just how well he can tickle the ivories.

And here's what really makes River Road Trio different: covering rock, country, folk and pop, they're the one band on our schedule that regularly takes requests right from the audience—and plays them on the spot. So start thinking about what you want to hear! 🎶

After last week's rainout, Mother Nature looks ready to make it up to us. ☀️ Thursday is shaping up to be about as perfect as it gets—sunny and around 80°!

Great music, perfect weather and a set list you might actually get to help create. What do YOU want to hear Thursday night? 🎶☀️

⚠️ **WEATHER UPDATE** ⚠️

Due to the rain and forecast for this evening, we have made the difficult decision to **cancel tonight's Thursdays at the Pointe event.**

While we're disappointed that we won't be able to turn back the clock and enjoy a night of '70s rock, pop and disco together, the **safety and comfort of our guests, performers, food truck partners, and team must come first.**

But here's the good news...

🪩 **That 70's Band Chicagoland has already been rescheduled!** 🪩

They'll return to Timber Pointe on **Thursday, September 24th**, giving us another chance to break out the bell bottoms, platform shoes and boogie shoes for one of the most fun shows of the year.

So hang onto that '70s outfit—we're just postponing the party, not canceling it! ✌️🕺💃

**Please help us spread the word by sharing this post with anyone who was planning to join us tonight.**

Thank you for your understanding, and we'll see you next Thursday at **Thursdays at the Pointe!** 🎶

Prince songs don't come around very often at "Thursdays at the Pointe"...which is exactly why I wanted to share this one.

The Boom Boom Room put their own spin on "Pop Life," reminding everyone just how timeless Prince's music really is. As Prince sings, "Everybody needs a thrill," and judging by the crowd, they found it. If you weren't here last Thursday, turn it up, watch the video, and see what you missed. 💜🎶

This Thursday, we're turning back the clock to the greatest decade in music!

That 70's Band Chicagoland returns to the Hard Decks Sound Stage for one of the most entertaining nights of the summer. Get ready for an unforgettable mix of '70s rock, pop, and disco featuring hits from Led Zeppelin, Styx, Heart, Foreigner, Journey, Rick James, Diana Ross, Donna Summer, the Bee Gees, and many more.

🕺 Break out your bell bottoms, platform shoes, tie-dye, or your favorite '70s outfit and join the fun! The more people who dress the part, the more memorable the night becomes.
