Hellwood returns January 3rd, 2025

Hellwood Putting League

This is what happens when the number one disc golf course in Illinois partners with the number one Haunted House in Illinois*

Beyond the dam behind hole 17’s teepad is a trail that leads to Hell’s Gate Haunted House. This haunted house is hidden deep in the woods and is a multi-level mansion filled with secret passages, giant slides, ghastly secrets, undead abominations, really nervous groundskeepers and a darkness that the gate can no longer contain!

Hellwood Putting League is played through the rooms and passageways inside Hell’s Gate Haunted House. This is a one-of-a kind league that will challenge, entertain and keep you sharp in the winter months!

  • There will be 18 putting stations set up throughout the haunted house, you take 3 putts at each station. Bring a minimum of 3 putters to use.

  • Two rounds through the course each night with a break in between.

  • Each putt made = 1 point.

  • Cash payouts at the end of every night!

  • Upper (900+), Lower (899-) and Women (All Ladies) divisions offered.

  • This is an overall points series league, meaning your points accrue every week! There will be overall trophies and prizes at the end of the league.

Concessions will be available (food, pop, beer, mixed drinks). No outside food or drink. No bags or carts allowed, bring at least 3 putters. No caddies or friends (only participants will be allowed in) No smoking of any kind indoors, there will be a designated area outside. NO DRINKING IN THE PARKING LOT.
