The Northern Ohio Golf Association has finalized the tournament schedule for its 2026 Great Lakes Auto Scratch Series.
This season will feature 11 tournaments, spanning 176 miles across Northern Ohio. The tournament played furthest east will be hosted at Youngstown Country Club in Youngstown, Ohio, while the furthest West tournament will be played at Stone Ridge Golf Club in Bowling Green, Ohio.
The 6th Lewis Cup will make a return to its familiar home of Westfield Country Club after a one year hiatus.
NOGA’s longest running tournament, the 104th NOGA Interclub Championship will be conducted at venerable Canterbury Golf Club, marking NOGA’s first return to the club in six years.
Also on the move, the NOGA Tournament of Champions will be played at Sand Ridge Golf Club in Chardon, Ohio.
Series events will be played at Congress Lake, Shady Hollow, Stone Ridge, Sleepy Hollow, Medina, and Youngstown.
The two biggest Player of the Year points events return to their same courses again in 2026: Windmill Lakes for the Northeast Ohio Amateur Championship, and Firestone for the NOGA Tour Championship.
All NOGA Scratch Series events are open to any amateur golfer, male or female, 19 years or older, holding an active NOGA/GHIN Handicap Index® at the time of registration from an authorized NOGA member club. The Handicap Index requirement to enter a Scratch Series event is 5.4 or lower.
