🏆🍾 NEW CHAMPIONS. SAME CH*****NE TRADITION! ⛳🥂

Introducing Timber Pointe's 2026 Member-Member Champions — Kent Kniep & Tom Henry!

And as tradition demands, here they are celebrating their victory the Timber Pointe way — drinking ch*****ne straight from the crystal championship trophy! 🍾🏆

But before the ch*****ne started flowing, these two had some work to do.

Kent and Tom wasted no time making their presence felt on Saturday, rolling in 4 birdies during the Front 9 Scramble (Holes 1, 4, 6 & 9) before adding 3 more in the Back 9 Chapman (Holes 11, 13 & 15). Despite their impressive seven-birdie performance, they ended Day 1 just 0.84 strokes behind leaders Kyle Rogers & Nick Guth, setting the stage for an exciting Sunday showdown!

Sunday was all about finishing the job.

They posted a solid 3-under-par Best Ball score on the Front 9 before collecting 38 Stableford points on the final nine to secure the championship by a mere 1.98 strokes!

🥈 Runners-Up: Congratulations to father-and-son duo Tom & Eric Howe, who finished in second place!

🎯 Closest to the Pin
• Hole 8 — Brock Shattuck
• Hole 14 — Jeff Gander

⛳ Longest Putt
• Hole 9 — Zach Jole
• Hole 18 — Mike Kwon

Congratulations to Kent and Tom on a terrific two days of golf, and thank you to everyone who competed in this year's Member-Member Championship. This was our largest field EVER!

And now, the important question...

Does ch*****ne actually taste better when you're drinking it out of a crystal golf trophy? 🏆🥂

Judging by the video, Kent and Tom seem to think so! 😂

👏 Let's hear it for our new champions!

🧟‍♂️⛳ THE WHACKING DEAD — NIGHT GOLF RESULTS! ⛳🧟‍♀️

The dead were out. The glow sticks were lit. And as the sun went down, Timber Pointe transformed into the Land of the Dead. 🌙⛳ Somehow, most everyone still managed to make it back to the clubhouse alive. 💀

Congratulations to our West Course Champions — Kent & Teri Kniep and Kyle & Emma Kniep! Playing Holes 4–9 & 11, the Kniep foursome fired a 2-under-par 26, going bogey-free and making birdies on Holes 6 & 11. Pretty impressive when just finding the fairway in the dark can feel like an accomplishment!

Over on the East Course (Holes 1, 2 & 14–18), Tim Magnusen and his guests turned in the winning scorecard, also going bogey-free while making birdies on five of their seven holes for a 5-under-par score of 22.

We'd love to show you a picture of our East Course champions, but there's one small problem...

We have no idea what happened to them. 👀

They turned in their scorecard and then mysteriously disappeared before we could get a winner's photo. Apparently, winning your flight doesn't necessarily mean you survived the Land of the Dead. 🧟‍♂️💀

Those who did make it safely back to the clubhouse were rewarded with our Bone Appétit Buffet, where “Bones” the Skeleton was waiting to welcome them back from the Land of the Dead. 🦴💀 We've included a few pictures of the spread, along with a look at how the glow sticks transformed the course once the sun went down. 🌙⛳

Thanks to everyone who came out and made The Whacking Dead such a fun night!

And Tim...if you're out there somewhere...
Congratulations. And please report to the clubhouse. 😂🧟‍♂️

Thursdays feel a little different around here once October rolls around.

No food trucks pulling in. No band setting up. No music coming from the Patio Stage. No dance floor filling up.

Is it weird that I already miss it? Not the work, obviously. 😂 But I definitely miss seeing everyone out here singing, dancing, laughing and having a good time every Thursday night.

So before I start thinking about next year’s lineup, I wanted to share one more video from our season finale.

That 70’s Band Chicagoland brought out plenty of ’70s music fans, and when they broke into K.C. & the Sunshine Band’s “That’s the Way (I Like It),” a whole bunch of them found their way to the dance floor. 🪩🕺

And after another summer of nights like this one, I suppose the song says it pretty well:

That’s the way we like it out here at Timber Pointe on Thursdays. ❤️

Live music. Food trucks. Cold drinks. A packed dance floor. And a whole bunch of people getting together to have a good time.

Before we officially put another season of Thursdays at the Pointe in the books, though, I need to thank the people who make all of this possible.

First, my staff. There is absolutely no way I could pull these Thursday nights off without you. So thank you Victoria, Angela, Ann, Erika, Summer, Wendi, Kourtney, Jaylin, Alyssa, Meghan, Cheyenne, McKenna, Gianna, Natalie, Audrey, Madison and Bryce. You guys do a lot of work that most people never see, and I appreciate every bit of it.

And to those who kept us well-fed all summer, thank you Pizza Fresca, Mario’s Taco Express, Rusty Drum BBQ and Thai Jasmine Rice & Noodles. 🌮🍕🍖

A big thank-you also goes to Hard Decks for sponsoring—and building—our Patio Stage and continuing to support live music at Timber Pointe.

And speaking of the music...what a lineup we had this year. 🎸 Thank you to every band that took our stage and gave us so many memorable Thursday nights.

Finally, and most importantly, thank you to all of you who kept showing up.

Some of you came once. Some came whenever your favorite band was playing. And quite a few of you seemed to be here just about every single Thursday.

We may put these nights together FOR you, but we certainly couldn't do them WITHOUT you and your continued loyalty and support.

Thank you for spending another summer with us. ❤️

Now I guess I better start working on Thursdays at the Pointe 2027. 😉

Until then...

🎶 That’s the way...uh-huh, uh-huh...we like it. 🎶

Thank you all! ❤️🪩🎸

🎸 We could’ve used a little California weather last Thursday…

It was a little cooler than we’d gotten used to at the Pointe, so we figured The Stevee Nix performing Cheap Trick’s “California Man” was an appropriate video to share. ☀️😂

Fortunately, their setlist—and a dance floor full of people singing along—provided plenty of heat of its own.

And that brings us to tomorrow night...

🪩 That 70's Band Chicagoland is coming to the Pointe for one final trip back to the ’70s!

They’ll bring the Rock, Pop & Disco with music from Led Zeppelin, Styx, Heart, Foreigner and Journey to Rick James, Diana Ross, Donna Summer, the Bee Gees and plenty more.

And if you’ve got some ’70s attire hiding in the back of your closet, this would be the night to break it out. 🕺

It may be a little cool tomorrow evening, but we’ve got you covered. 🔥 We’ll have about a dozen warming stations scattered around, including portable wood-burning fire pits and propane patio heaters to help keep everyone cozy.

That is, if the dancing and a drink or two don’t take care of that first. 😂

Come hungry, too:

🌮 Mario's Taco Express
🍜 Thai Jasmine Rice & Noodles
🔥 Rusty Drum BBQ

And this time, we really do mean FINAL.

After an entire summer of live music, food trucks, packed dance floors and a couple of rainouts that gave us two bonus weeks, tomorrow is the LAST Thursdays at the Pointe of 2026.

One more band. One more night. One more Thursday at the Pointe.

Then we pack it up until next summer. 🥹🎶

🍴 Food Trucks: 5:00–8:30 PM
🪩 That 70’s Band: 6:30–9:30 PM
🎶 Live on the Hard Decks Sound Stage
⭐ FREE Admission
🪑 Lawn Chairs Welcome • Please Leave Coolers at Home

Let’s send summer out with a good one. See you tomorrow night at the Pointe! 🍻🪩🎶

🎸 TONIGHT at the Pointe!

The Stevee Nix takes the Hard Decks Sound Stage at 6:30, bringing their high-energy mix of retro favorites and unexpected hits from The Cure, The Police and Rick Springfield to Vanilla Ice, Snoop Dog and more! 🎶

And come hungry—Pizza Fresca, Mario’s Taco Express and Rusty Drum BBQ start serving at 5:00! 🍕🌮🔥

Hard to believe, but there are only TWO Thursdays at the Pointe left this season. 😳

So if you’ve been saying “we’ll make it out there one of these Thursdays,” tonight sounds like a pretty good night to do it.

🍴 Food Trucks: 5:00–8:30 PM
🎸 The Stevee Nix: 6:30–9:30 PM
⭐ FREE Admission

See you tonight at the Pointe! 🍻🎶

🎶 If Random AF Band proved anything last Thursday, it’s that their name fits them pretty darn well.

Here they are taking on The Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star”—with a dance floor that brought together just about every age group. And that was only part of the fun. During their second set, Random AF somehow went from Sam the Sham & The Pharaohs’ 1965 hit “Wooly Bully” straight into Bobby Brown’s 1988 “My Prerogative.” 😂

How’s that for random?

Now, on to this Thursday...

We’re welcoming back the Stevee Nix, a band that has been rocking club and festival stages since 2004—and they bring the same kind of what-are-they-going-to-play-next? energy.

Their retro party can jump from The Cure, The Police and Rick Springfield to Vanilla Ice, House of Pain, Snoop Dog, Smash Mouth and plenty more. Familiar songs, unexpected turns and a band that knows how to get a crowd involved.

And come hungry! This week we have:

🌮 Mario's Taco Express
🍕 Pizza Fresca
🐷 Rusty Drum BBQ

But here's the part that's getting hard to ignore...

There are only TWO Thursdays at the Pointe left this season. 😳

If you’ve been saying “we need to make it out there one of these Thursdays,” you're officially running out of Thursdays.

🍴 Food Trucks: 5:00–8:30 PM
🎸 The Stevee Nix: 6:30–9:30 PM
🎶 Live on the Hard Decks Sound Stage
⭐ FREE Admission
🪑 Lawn Chairs Welcome • Please Leave Coolers at Home

See you Thursday at the Pointe! 🎸🍻🎶
