Golden Age Classic

Welcome to the Golden Age Classic, to be played on Sunday, July 20th, 2025 at Manakiki Golf Course in Willoughby, Ohio.

Last year’s tournament was a huge success. It’s really an amazing feeling bringing people together to enjoy something that we all love. Please see below to understand more about what this tournament is about.

I have always admired the Golden Age of golf course architecture and the designs of famous architects such as AW Tillinghast, Donald Ross, CB MacDonald, Seth Raynor, and George Thomas, my personal favorite. It is only fitting that the first (and now second) installment of this annual tournament will be held at a course designed by the great Donald Ross, who has had a profound impact on the Ohio golf landscape. I also chose the name Golden Age Classic because I truly believe that we are living in a modern golden age of golf. The game has grown exponentially in recent years and has become accessible to people of all walks of life. Everyone who has been invited to this tournament are the reason that I consider this to be my personal golden age of the sport that I love so much. Thank you for joining me in this event and I hope we have the most amazing time turning this dream into a reality.
