Canal Shores Favorite Memory Campaign: Pat Goss

Tune in as Patrick Goss, Director of Golf and Player Development at Northwestern Athletics, shares his favorite memory of Canal Shores. He shares his passion for Canal Shores and #communitygolf with his fellow Reverse Jans golfers. Each day, Pat sees the impact the game of golf has on the local community, and kids in particular. “There is no more fun time for me to drive by Canal Shores than in the summer and to see the junior programs in full surge – kids laughing, learning the game, having a great time.”

Canal Shores Winter Update (February 16, 2024)

Belated Happy New Year! I am Chris Charnas, Vice President/Golf at Canal Shores, and this is our Winter 2024 update on the Canal Shores course renovation.

While we wait for the grass to grow in, I thought you might be interested to learn more about the history of Canal Shores.
