HISTORY: Cleveland Metroparks Golf Course Championships

Course Championships each year since 1993 at each of its four main golf properties: Big Met, Sleepy Hollow, Manakiki and Shawnee Hills. Later, these events were expanded to Seneca and Ironwood, too. These events have been conducted both stand-alone tournaments and as a qualifier for the Greater Cleveland Amateur Championships. The following are the historical records from each of those course championships:
