Head to the Hills Golf Fest is a free family-friendly event being held on Saturday, April 28 from 2:00pm to 5:00pm at Palatine Hills Golf Course, 512 W. Northwest Hwy, in Palatine.

Golf professionals and course staff will be available to answer questions and provide advice on the putting green, at the driving range, and out on the new short game area. The new short game area will allow players to practice wedge shots, bunker shots, chipping, and putting.

Contests will also be held throughout the course grounds, including long drive, putting, short game, and closest to the pin.
