Following the close of entries, players may not sign up for a waiting list, transfer between waiting lists or transfer to another qualifying site.   Up until three(3) days prior to the qualifier, if the qualifying site becomes available due to a withdrawal, the player will be automatically assigned to that site and charged the appropriate entry fee.If their credit card is declined, they will have 24 hours to complete payment or their spot will be forfeited.   The player will be notified via email that he has been accepted to the qualifying site. If this occurs after the close of entries, the AGA will provide the appropriate player information and tee time (if available).   Once it is within 3 days (72 hours) of the qualifier, there will not be any replacements of withdrawn players.Any players still on a waiting list will be withdrawn.   Hard Card Click Here to view the 2025 USGA hard card.   Pace of Play Policy   Schedule of Events - The practice area will open 1 hour before the first tee time. - Starting times from at 8:00 a.m. off #1 and #10 tee. - Please arrive to the first tee 10 minutes before your scheduled tee time ready to play.   Format.

The classic design by noted architect Harold Paddock, with continued improvements by Geoffrey Cornish and Brian Huntley, stands the test of time. While the golf course accommodates the beginning golfer, it also challenges the skilled player. (PGA Tour Member Anthony Kim held the course record for 12 months!).    The Championship yardage tops out at just over 7000 yards, yet the course is played from Blue Tees at 6474 yards, Green Tees at 6018 yards, as well as White Tees at 5525 yards so that players of all levels can enjoy the game. The course features 5 new Ladies Tees and is rated at 5168 and 4878 yards respectively for the Ladies. Avon Oaks is a "PGA Family Course" where Juniors just learning the game may play from permanent tee markers in the ground for par 3s, 4s, and 5s that are age, length and ability appropriate.    Strackaline Thanks to a partnership with the Northern Ohio Golf Association, StrackaLine books can be purchased for a reduced price.
