About the Tournament

A Tradition of
Brotherhood & Golf

"Life is a gift, and it offers us a unique privilege, opportunity, and the responsibility to give back."

The Woodsmen are a multigenerational group of friends who come together every year to socialize, compete, and give back. Our annual golf tournament is the highlight of the summer.

A portion of tournament proceeds supports local charitable causes. Whether you're a scratch golfer or just learning the game, the Woodsmen Open welcomes all skill levels — our scramble format keeps it fun and competitive for everyone.
