COYOTE RUN GOLF COURSE & WILEY’S GRILL Coyote Run in its 20th season, finished the year up 1.6% in rounds over the 2024 season. Even though the season started about three weeks later than in 2024, Coyote Run finished the season with a new record of 41,013 rounds. The golf course continues to receive rave reviews from its patrons for its conditioning, price point and customer service. This past summer was the busiest ever posting 1900 more summer rounds (June-September) than the previous season. The golf course came to an abrupt close, with the winter storm on Thanksgiving Weekend. Coyote Run hosts many in-house leagues for men and women and for 9 and 18 holes. Along with these leagues, Coyote Run hosts five other private leagues throughout the week. As students go back to school in the fall, we host four golf teams including the HF Girls and HF Boys Frosh teams. We have welcomed Parker Middle School to the golf course to be a feeder system for the high school. We continue to host many junior golf classes and camps throughout the season, along with adult classes for beginners and recreational players. Wiley’s Grill continues to cater events at Dolphin Lake for both beverage and food service. The staff does an outstanding job taking care of events from golf outings to rehearsal dinners. Sundays have become quite popular for the different showers. H-F ICE ARENA The Homewood-Flossmoor Ice Arena achieved a dynamic year of growth, with Learn to Skate classes consistently reaching capacity and hockey participation expanding through new initiatives like the 4v4 Draft and Snow Cone Summer leagues. Curling also saw a surge in popularity, necessitating the purchase of additional equipment and expanded league play. High-profile events anchored the season, including the 50th Annual Lady Bug Competition, NWHL playoffs that generated over $11,000 in fees, and expanded collegiate championships, while external partnerships further maximized ice utilization. Financially, the arena thrived on increased registrations, tournament fees, and advertising partnerships. These gains funded essential facility improvements, such as locker room flooring updates, digital signage, and a refreshed rental skate inventory. Beyond operations, the arena deepened community ties through “try-it” events and school partnerships. A successful management transition at year-end has positioned the facility for continued stability and impact heading into 2026.
