Congratulations Elgin Open Winners!
First and foremost we would like to thank each and every one of you for playing in the 109th running of the Elgin Open. This tournament is only possible because of all of you and your commitment to supporting the event so again thank you and I hope to see all of you and more back out here for next year’s event!
Congratulations to our 2025 Champion Dan Shepherd with a winning score through 27 holes of -1. And congratulations to our runner up Jeff Ulaszek who also had a score of -1 through 27 holes but after a scorecard playoff Dan was determined to be the winner. There was a lot of great golf going on out there it’s a shame we weren’t able to get the full event in, due to weather, but again we appreciate your understanding and support of the outcome!

Welcome to Bowes Creek Golf Course!
Certainly, one of the highlights of the Bowes Creek Country Club lifestyle is the outstanding golf course and clubhouse. Created by Jacobson Golf Course Design to be enjoyable for all levels of golfers, the 18-hole golf course ranges from 6,900 yards from the professional tees to 5,000 from the junior tees. Five sets of tees accommodate every level of golfer.
Along with the golf course, Jacobson has designed a full practice area complete with an elevated 30-station driving range with target greens at varying distances, putting and chipping greens, and a private lesson tee. Instead of standard green fees, the club offers a “member for a day” fee as well as yearly memberships. As a “member for the day”, golfers have unlimited golf with a cart and full use of the facility. The clubhouse features a full-service pro shop, men’s and women’s locker rooms, and Johnny’s Supper Club, a retro Italian eatery.
“Our goal is to make the game fun and enjoyable while making it interesting and challenging.” – Rick Jacobson, Founder of Jacobson Golf Design
