The
2007 Ibex Fall Colors Golf Outing is moving north to Wisconsin Rapids, WI.
The new venue is Hotel
Mead and Conference Center. We thought it was time for a change, plus
there is a good chance the new golf course will not be completed by
September.
The new location, Hotel Mead and Conference Center is located in Wisconsin
Rapids, WI. 451 East Grand Avenue. The hotel phone number is 715-423-1500.
The hotel recently celebrated a $14 million renovation and addition. The
hotel offers 157 very nice guest rooms and suites, two restaurants, Café
Mulino, featuring the cuisine of Southern Italy, and The Grand Avenue Grill
for steaks, ribs, and sea-food entries. The Grand Avenue Tavern featuring
lively weekend entertainment, plus just a friendly place to catch up with
your Ibex friends. The hotel also features a large indoor pool, sauna, and
fitness facility. But more importantly, GOLF.
The courses we will play are located at Lake Arrowhead. Saturday we play The
Lakes course, and Sunday we will play the Pines.
If you are driving up Saturday morn-ing exit I-39 at the Coloma exit (124)
west 15 miles to Wisconsin highway 13 turn north, right, about 10 miles to
Lake Arrowhead.
Saturday golf will be a scramble format with the first “T” time 12:00.
Sunday will be real golf; the first “T” time will be 9:30am.
Lake Arrowhead
golf complex consists of two championship courses. The original course, The
Pines, rated 4 ˝ stars in Golf Di-gest places to play,
and ranked among their top 75 public courses. The Pines opened in 1982 has
matured into the golfing equivalent of a fine wine. The
Lakes Course is a combination of
scenic beauty and water was why the course was nominated as one of “Golf
Digest’s” Best New Public Course in America in 1999. The courses at Lake
Arrowhead were also recognized as one of the top 100 women friendly courses
in America by “Golf For Women” magazine in 2000.
Friday golfers are scheduled to play the
Ridges Course.
The first “T” time on Friday is 1:00pm.
The cost this year is $205.00. What a value……two days of golf with carts, a
Prime Rib Carved Buffet with all the trimmings, two kegs of beer, and a
finely appointed deluxe room. Non-Golfers you value priced week-end is
$103.00.
Friday golf with room is $98.00 per person. Early arrivals that do not wish
to golf may reserve a room for the special rate of $56.00 per person.
The hotel is about 55-60 miles farther than the Dells where we played the
last three years.
