With increased attendance every year, The Record Open is taking on a new challenge as one of the first outings to play a reimagined community course that spans Wilmette and Evanston.

The Record Open gets to take on the entirety (18 holes) of the new course this year and will include numerous competitions using The Evans at Canal Shores’ special features, such as a 30,000-square-foot practice green and the Baha’i Corner, which includes a Par 3 putting hole (No. 7).

All participating golfers will receive a round with a cart, an early dinner, multiple drink tickets and chances to win prizes for everything from carding the lowest group score to whacking the longest drive to holding the winning raffle ticket(s).

Check in for the tournament will begin around 10:15 a.m. with a start of 11 a.m. The format is a scramble, in which a team of four selects the best shot among the group and all golfers take their next shot from that location.

The overall winners in the first four Record Opens were:

• Record Open I: Monica Thompson, Alex Thompson, Julia Goebel and Julie Saltzman
• Record Open II: Steve Weir, Andy Warner, Andy Kulick and Andy Schaeffer*
* Decided by tie-breaking putt-off
• Record Open III: Ben Warner, Michael Kite, Mark Somerville and Adam Shulz
• Record Open IV: Steve Weir, Andy Warner, Andy Kulick and Andy Schaeffer
