 Package Highlights 

Sink your cleats into the same greens as golf legends with this ultimate golf package for four in Kohler, Wisconsin. On day one, your foursome will play the world-renowned Straits course at Whistling Straits, home of the 43rd Ryder Cup and Team USA’s historic victory over Team Europe! On day two, your foursome will have the choice to play a round on the Irish at Whistling Straights or the Meadow Valleys at Blackwolf Run. The Irish is sculped into the Wisconsin coastline while the Meadow Valleys features rolling meadows and deep ravines, offering two courses of dynamic contrast and world-class prestige.

After a day of play, your group will retreat to the Inn on Woodlake, a charming, three-diamond hotel located on the shore of Wood Lake, as your trip also includes a two-night stay in two Prairie rooms.
The perfect fall getaway is just a bid away. Your group of four will enjoy a weekend stay (two nights, Friday, September 26 - Sunday, September 28, 2025) at Beach Pines Cottage in Union Pier, Michigan - just 90 minutes outside of downtown Chicago. The newly refurnished family cottage is nestled in the sleepy lake community, with four bedrooms and three full baths, including a new private hot tub. You'll be within walking distance of Lake Michigan, as well as the downtown Union Pier area.

Get ready for an unforgettable evening with GRAMMY-Award winning singer/songwriter James Taylor at Ravinia on Thursday, June 19. These VIP tickets for two provide the ultimate summer experience. After two sold-out concerts last summer, the six-time GRAMMY-Award winner and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom Award returns to Highland Park's premier music venue for another incredible evening. Your VIP tickets include some of the best seats in the house, at the front and center of the venue, for a night filled with the soothing sounds of one of music’s greatest legends. From his classic hits to soulful ballads, you won't want to miss out on this rare chance to experience James Taylor live.

Golf for Two with Barstool Sports' Dan Katz and Hank Lockwood
 
Get ready to tee it up with none other than Dan “Big Cat” Katz and Hank Lockwood of Barstool Sports! That’s right — you and a guest will join these two media legends for 18 holes at next year’s PAWS Chicago Golf Open!

Dan made a name for himself as a blogger and podcast host on Barstool Sports, one of the most influential sports and pop-culture digital media sites in America. Dan also adopted his pup, Stella, from PAWS Chicago 13 years ago, and Stella now serves as the face of Stella Blue Coffee, Dan’s coffee brand. Hank is the longtime producer and co-host of the #1 sports podcast, Pardon My Take, Dave Portnoy’s former right-hand man, and a proud member of The Brady 4. This is your shot at the ultimate foursome: you, your guest, Big Cat, and Hank — fore! — and a day you’ll never forget.
