“We are very busy in the summer and often booked on both of our other courses in the morning,” says Tony Mancilla, General Manager for Island Resort & Casino. “We decided to add nine holes to accommodate our guests looking for early morning tee times before they head home. We are not adding to Sage Run but making these nine holes their own course.”
The name Cedar (Kishki in Potawatomi) is derived from being one of the four sacred medicines known for its protective and purifying properties. The logo design pays tribute to tobacco, another sacred medicine. Cedar complements the existing courses, Sweetgrass and Sage Run, to complete the representation of medicines that, in Potawatomi culture, represent the connection to the earth.
