Wayne Homes Chili Open Golf Classic

Proceeds Benefit The Akron Rotary Camp for Children With Special Needs

One of the most unique challenges for either an extreme sports enthusiast or a hobbyist golfer is the arctic golf experience of the Wayne Homes Chili Open. Each year the grounds of historic lHale Farm and Village is transformed into seven golf courses with nine holes each. Hole distances will range from 65 to 125 yards. Golfers are challenged to drive shots across tundra and putt balls laden with ice.

While this may not sound like and event for the faint-of-heart, it is perfect for anyone that enjoys a good time and likes to help a great cause. Included with the registration fee for each golfer is a pass to the Wayne Homes Chili Open warm-up party. Inside the banquet hall of Hale Farm and Village, all golfers will be treated to all-you-can-eat Whitey's Chili. There will be plenty of space for playing cards and reminiscing about the best shots of the day on the frigid course. There will also be great raffle prizes.
 
Your participation in the 2012 Wayne Homes Chili Open golf classic will help more than 1,600 children and adults with disabilities attend the Rotary Camp next summer! Every summer for more than 88 years, the Rotary Club of Akron has sponsored the Rotary Camp. Children with special needs throughout Ohio have been invited to spend a week at camp, where they enjoy many traditional activities including swimming, canoeing, arts and crafts, sports and games, team building and more in our convenient and accessible natural setting. When campers leave Rotary Camp at the end of each session, they not only leave with lifelong memories and friends, but they often show more independence as well as a greater understanding of themselves and their abilities.
