Our most popular tour is our annual New Years’ visit to the Arizona desert.  To celebrate our thirteenth year of successful New Years’ trips, we return to a favorite — The Wigwam Resort. 

Join us for a grand celebration of golf and arrival of year 2003 in the arguably most distinguished golf destination in the Arizona sun.  Spend a fun and unforgettable five days and four nights welcoming the New Year in style at a place that has been known for over 73 years for its charm and ambiance.  Once the private club of Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company executives, it opened to the public in 1929 and generations of “snow birds” have sought out its charm, elegance and mild winter weather.  The resort, a Starwood Luxury Collection Premier Destination, offers the world-class amenities of a private country club.

Oversized casitas are decorated in Southwestern colors and furnishings and are set amidst rows of colorful flowers, lush lawns and towering palms.  The casitas are grouped in quaint village settings providing quiet and privacy for every guest.  The Wigwam offers quality golf and operates three challenging courses right on property.  Other amenities including tennis courts, horseback riding, trap and skeet shooting, complete health facilities and Spa services, bicycling, two swimming pools, three restaurants and much more.  The Concierge can help plan off-site activities and tours.

New Year’s Eve 2002 will be special night.   The Wigwam has put together a memorable collection of fine dining and entertainment.  Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will be served, followed by an elegant four-course dinner.  There will be live entertainment and dancing well into the early hours of January 1st.

Fantastic golf, scrumptious dining and terrific entertainment await, and you are invited!  We look forward to seeing you at the Wigwam.  Pay in full by the early bird(ie) deadline and save!

 

Your hosts and escorts for the trip are Peter and Claudia Hellman.  They take care of all trip details — air travel, ground transfers, tee times, pairings and baggage.  All you do is have fun!
