Coldstream Country Club will host a full field of 144 players from Monday, August 19 to Wednesday, August 21.
The Top-10 & ties will be exempt for the 2025 Ohio Amateur Championship, which will be played at Zanesville Country Club.
ABOUT THE COURSE
Coldstream Country Club is a private club on the southeast side of Cincinnati. Opened in 1951, this Dick Wilson original was renovated in 2020 by Keith Foster.
Foster reintroduced Wilson’s iconic bunkering, while also implementing expanded fairways and the removal of several trees throughout the property.
Coldstream hosted the Ohio Amateur Championship in 1986, 1995, and 2014. It will do so once more in July of 2027.
PLANNED YARDAGES
INSIDE THE FIELD
144 players will tee it up at Coldstream for the first two rounds before a cut (top-40 & ties) is made prior to round 3.
Seven past Ohio Mid-Amateur Champions are in the field this week at Coldstream.
Michael Cress comes in as the defending champion after winning a year ago at Pinnacle Golf Club.
Bill Williamson, a three- time champion of the event (2009, 2020, and 2021) is a member at Coldstream Country Club. Williamson will look to use his home course knowledge in hopes of becoming the first four-time winner of the event.
Scott Anderson has won a pair of Ohio Mid-Amateur Championships, including one in 2018 at his then-home club of Worthington Hills CC.
Like Williamson, Alan Fadel is a three-time Ohio Mid-Amateur Champion. Fadel also won the 1995 Ohio Amateur Championship right here at Coldstream Country Club.
Brandon Ellis (2019), Jeff Scohy (2015), and Kevin Grabeman (2012) are the other past champions in the field.
Others expected to contend include the likes of 2023 runner-up
Domenic Maricocchi,
Jeg Coughlin,
Bryce Haney, and
Nicolas Paxson, who has finished in the top-5 in each of the past three Ohio Mid-Amateur Championships.
