Joe Aveni Open Golf Tournament Benefitting the IREM Foundation
It’s only fitting that the inaugural playing of the Joe Aveni Open happens at IREM iCon!
The tournament will be held at the beautiful Waldorf Astoria Golf Club (adjacent to the Hilton Bonnet Creek). Using the land's natural contours as a canvas and a fertile imagination as his palette, revered golf course architect Rees Jones designed this 18-hole masterpiece. The course winds through a large wetland preserve; its classic layout blends a traditional character with countless subtleties – making each hole an experience to savor.
Enjoy great golf, great company and the opportunity to support the IREM Foundation’s great work. The tournament will be played in a scramble format. Fundraising proceeds and sponsorship contributions will go to the IREM Foundation.
Fee for Golf Only: $175
Fee includes box lunch, green fees, range balls and limited beverage cart.
Fee for Golf & Foundation Contribution: $295
Fee includes golf, a (tax deductible) contribution to the Foundation and a ticket to the “Party With a Purpose” event on Wednesday night.
