Chicago Mini-vacation - Part 3

Pheasant Run Resort - St. Charles, Illinois
Two years ago Kathy and I first visited Pheasant Run while planning a family reunion that coming Thanksgiving  (2009).  So this was our third trip to this pleasant property just east of St. Charles, which sits on the Fox River, about 40 miles west of Chicago.


Kathy got a reduced rate for one night (Groupon) and we added a night.  It was the more leisurely part of our long weekend.  We drove into Schaumberg (Woodfield Mall area) and had dinner at Season's 52, one of a chain of new restaurants that features seasonal menus and weekly special changes (52).  All entrees are 425 calories or less!  It was very unique and good.  I noticed that one is coming to the Kansas City Country Club Plaza area - now under construction.

We like this property.  It is comfortable, unique, has a "prairie architecture" theme.  We just loved it for the Coyne reunion.  Just walking around inside or out is a pleasurable experience.

The main pool had a filter out of sorts and was unusable, but we were able to use the smaller courtyard pool when Kathy sister and nephew and family came up for a midday swim on Sunday.

The Coyne Clan...isn't it hard to swim with sunglasses??

Late Sunday afternoon I played golf on the course that is a part of the resort.  She helped keep track of errant balls.  Occasionally that was hard with a low setting sun.  But it was fun to whip around the course.  Later we partook of "bar food" which was excellent.


On Monday, we were able to extend our check out time and partake of the now repaired main pool and the glorious sunshine.  It was truly a relaxed time and we will probably return again....
