REGISTRATIONS FOR GOLF & SPONSORSHIPS ARE NOW OPEN!!!!
As of Friday, July 15, 2022, we have SOLD OUT the Annual Golf Classic for our 8th consecutive year. Sponsorships are still available.
The IIA Chicago Chapter is excited to begin a new partnership with Cog Hill Golf & Country Club as host for the Annual Golf Classic on Monday, August 22, 2022, on Course No. 2. Since opening in 1929, Course No. 2 has been a favorite of Cog Hill's regular golfers. The sporty, championship layout is routed through wooded, rolling terrain and challenges golfers with ravines on nearly half of the holes, hence its nickname the "Ravines." In addition, Cog Hill brings the following technology that should make it more fun for everyone and increase our sponsor exposure to all golfers throughout the golf round:
- Top Tracer – Golf range use includes Top Tracer technology at each hitting bay and shuttle cart service to/from the range. Golf range with complimentary range balls is open from 7:30 AM to 8:45 AM. Hitting bays will be reserved for our event at the north end of the driving range nearest to the clubhouse.
- GPS - Each cart is equipped with GPS for course yardages and course map. At each tee box, the sponsor logo will pop up on the GPS unit.
- Golf Genius Mobile App - includes mobile scoring and event results link. The applicable golf hole sponsor’s logo will appear on mobile app when golfer enters team score. All scoring is done through the Golf Genius mobile app.
The 2022 program represents a great opportunity for the Chicago Chapter to provide its members a tremendous experience at a Chicago area premier rated golf course & facility at a reasonable price for all levels of participation with networking for sponsors, golfers, and volunteers! Please register soon to guarantee your spot! Invite and encourage your fellow colleagues and clients to attend. The event offers a fun golf tournament for all skill levels and provides a tremendous networking experience within the IIA and internal audit community.
Let’s make 2022 our 8th straight sell-out with players, sponsors and volunteers from over 60 companies.

August 30, 2021 Annual Golf Classic Recap
For the seventh consecutive year, the IIA Chicago Chapter 2021 Annual Golf Classic was a sellout. The weather was perfect all day on Monday, August 30, as the 144 golfers started their day at the beautiful Ruffled Feathers Golf Club in Lemont, IL. Golfers, sponsors, and volunteers from over 50 companies spent a fun day networking and playing golf at the only Pete Dye designed course in the Chicagoland area and one of the best public courses in the State of Illinois.
At registration, every golfer received a goody bag that included an IIA Chicago Chapter Yeti travel mug and other company logo donated items. Some started the day with a hot breakfast and others warmed up hitting golf balls at the driving range sponsored by Appian.
During the golf round, two beverage and food carts sponsored by Brilliant roamed the golf course providing snacks, soft drinks, water, and beer. Representatives from ten sponsors greeted golfers at their respective tee boxes and provided additional gifts for the golfer’s goodie bag including golf tees, ball markers, sunscreen, koozies and other fun items.
Lunch at the turn included an RSM sponsored open BBQ grill lunch with hot dogs, grilled chicken, and hamburgers. In addition to our six contest holes, on Hole #17, a Beat-the-Pro contest contributed to the overall excitement at the event for all.
Following golf, everyone was then treated with two-hour open bar, dinner and an awards ceremony sponsored by Kemper. After dinner, our golf event winners were presented with trophies and prizes including golf balls, wine, Apple air pods and $100 Amazon gift cards. Finally, our Raffle ticket winners received cash, Apple Air pods, AMPCaddy Bluetooth speaker, Amazon and Lettuce Entertain You gift cards, golf wear, golf balls, and other great prizes.
