The one-day, family golf-themed events will begin at Crane’s Landing GC on May 2 and continue throughout the year.
Marriott Golf has announced the 2015 schedule for the 8th Annual Marriott International Family Golf Festival. The series of one-day, family golf-themed events will take place at 26 Marriott Golf-managed destinations throughout the world, beginning on Saturday, May 2 at Crane’s Landing Golf Club in Lincolnshire, Ill.
The Festival events are open to golfers of all ages and skill levels, in the spirit of “family togetherness on the links.” The afternoon events include golf instruction, clinics, interactive golf games, family golf programs and prizes, all supervised by PGA professionals.
In addition, after 3 p.m., families and children can play golf for free as part of Marriott Golf’s “Kids Golf-4-Free” program, in which an estimated 10,000 parents and children participate each year. Launched in 2006, “Kids Golf-4-Free” enables kids up to 15 years old to golf for free when accompanied by a full-paying adult after 3 p.m.
In addition, Marriott Golf offers free lessons anytime to kids up to 15 years old when accompanied by an adult who is taking a fully paid lesson from a Marriott Golf instructor.
“Both avid golfers and newcomers to the game have participated at these [Family Golf Festival] events, and it’s an absolute treat to watch a family enjoy the great outdoors, while teeing it up together,” said Jim Keane, Senior Director of Operations, Marriott Golf. “The feedback we continue to receive about our Family Golf Festival program is fantastic, and we are thrilled to once again host a full schedule of events throughout the year.”
