The No Laying Up Summer Festival returns for its 4th edition this August. We're excited to invite a bunch you to join Neil & Soly to fill out the 72 person field at Conway Farms Golf Club, which sits juuuust outside Chicago.

Conway Farms is a design by the Faz that feels like a heavy-hitting championship track dressed up in Scottish-inspired fescue. It’s been recently dialed in by a 2021 Jackson Kahn bunker rennovation to maintain its edge and massively improve the course's aesthetics.

The NLU Summer Festival is always a great forum for low-stake but meaningful competition we're after. In addtion to other prizes, participants are competing for a spot in the 2026 Nest Invitational Tournament!

In addition to the day out at Conway, we are excited to offer an optional new twist to the Summer Festival tradition by inviting participants out to Wrigley Field on Sunday, August 16th to watch a rivalry game at the Friendly Confines between the Cubs and Cards. Sure to be a good time.

We hope to see you in Chicago.

Registration will be open exclusively to Nest Members for three days. We will then conduct a lottery drawing to determine the playing field.
