2010 IGIA Fall Golf Classic IGIA Takes Fall Golf Classic to Hyperion Field Club
When the Iowa Grocery Industry Association first came up with the idea of holding a fall golf outing in 2001, one of its main objectives was to provide a golf setting players may not experience on their own.
In keeping with its tradition, the IGIA will celebrate the 10th anniversary of its Fall Golf Classic by adding another outstanding course of the list of venues that has hosted the event – the Hyperion Field Club.
The outing has been hosted at only three other clubs in its nine previous years. The Harvester Golf Club was the site of the inaugural event in 2001 and was also played in 2002. The Tournament Club of Iowa was the IGIA’s course of choice in 2003 and 2004 before going to Wakonda Country Club from 2005-07.
The association then made a return to the Tournament Club of Iowa the past two years.
Hyperion Field Club was constructed in 1907 on the same grounds it rests on today. The course has undergone a few facelifts in the last 103 years, including its most recent project that was started in 1992 when many of the green surrounds were updated with new mounding and sand bunkers, new tees were constructed to accommodate a four-tee system, the 12th green was rebuilt, a pond was added on the ninth hole and the 14th hole was completely redone.
The greens are perhaps the most notable portion of the golf course considering the club takes great pride in having some of the most challenging putting surfaces in the Midwest. The fairways are narrow with many of them completely lined with trees.
The overall course measures 6,423 yards from the longest tees for a par of 72. The course is rated 72.1 by the United States Golf Association, from that same distance, with a slope rating of 127. The other three tee zones range in distances from 5,403 to 6,216 yards and have an average course ranking of 71.2.
Members of the Iowa Grocery Industry Association will have the opportunity to put their golf abilities to the test at Hyperion Field Club on Tuesday, September 14. Participants will be served lunch on the course prior to teeing off with a shotgun start at 11:30 a.m. Dinner will be supplied after golfing in the Hyperion clubhouse.
For more information, please contact the IGIA office at 515-270-2628 or 800-383-3663.
