This year's Ohio Senior Amateur Championship will take place June 17-18, at the Country Club of the North in Beavercreek.
The championship features two divisions, the Senior divsion (ages 55+) and the Super Senior division (ages 65+).
The champion of the Senior division will be exempt for the 2025, 2026, and 2027 Ohio Amateur Championship.
ABOUT THE COURSE
Located between Beavercreek and Xenia, the 18-hole layout at Country Club of the North is a Jack Nicklaus design dating to the early 1990s, when the fairways were routed around a residential development next to the Little Miami River.
From 1994-2001, the CC of the North hosted the Star Bank LPGA Classic on the LPGA Tour. The tournament saw winners such as Annika Sorenstam, Laura Davies, and Ohio Golf Hall of Fame member, Meg Mallon.
The club has also hosted numerous collegiate events as it is home to the Cedarville University golf program.
