ttention Golfers! The 24nd Annual Ice Tee Golf Tournament returns to frozen Lake Wallenpaupack on Sunday, January 25! Dust off your summer gear and head to the “Big Lake” for some friendly competition and great entertainment on the ice! This beloved Lake Region event based from Ehrhardt’s Waterfront Resort kicks off at 9 a.m. with tees until 2 p.m. Enjoy great games on two challenging nine-hole courses! Each course is lined with recycled Christmas trees then dotted with obstacles and water traps to challenge all participants. Show off your swing during the beloved “Closest to Wally” driving contest or settle in as a spectator. With plenty of sights to be had from “craziest sled” to the “wackiest hat” there’s wintery fun in store for all. Prizes will be distributed during an awards ceremony at Ehrhardt’s around 3 p.m.
Tickets cost $20 per golfer in advance or $25 the day of the event. All participants should bring one putter and two additional clubs. Colored golf balls will be provided during registration. Course assignments and score cards will be available on the ice. This event is presented by the Chamber of the Northern Poconos with current sponsors Ehrhardt’s Waterfront Resort, Crystal Cabin Fever, DJ Billy O and Rex Brand Tree Experts. Calling the tournament “unique”, the Chamber’s Debbie Gillette explains, “There’s no other place in the USA that you can play nine holes of golf on a frozen lake!” She notes, “This event is for golfers of all abilities,” inviting everyone to the festivities, adding, “Bring the family for a great day!”
Ehrhardt’s Waterfront Resort is located on Route 507 two miles east of Hawley, PA. For additional information, call the Chamber of the Northern Poconos at (570) 226-3191
