We’re proud to unveil the 2026 schedule for Farmers National Bank Greatest Golfer.
This is our 17th season of championship amateur golf in the Youngstown area, drawing a field from 10 counties and 5 states.
While we still have many details to nail for the new season, we at least want to share the dates for your planning abilities.
Registration will open March 15 for all events.
Adults fees to come, but about: $110 for the 2-player; $189 for the 54-hole.
For Juniors, there is no organization administration fee like other series. At Greatest, thanks to our sponsorships, Juniors pay just an event fee each time they play.
Juniors eligibility starts at age 12. Players are eligible to play through the summer following high school graduation. Each event is $70. Sign up for 5 events, pay $65 each. Play in 10 or more qualifiers, pay $60 each.
We’re adding a special $55 program: Recruit a new friend to play, and you can play Greatest for $55 for each round your recruit plays.
All information for Greatest can be found on the website, Thegreatestgolfer.com. You should also be signed up for our Instagram and Facebook sites as we’re constantly doing fun or goofy stuff on those places.
The Greatest Golfer platform is 1 million-plus eyeballs every year. We invite sponsors to partner with us to sustain this community and support a fantastic 17-year-old program. In the last 5 years, we have contributed to $60,000 to charity and $100,000 annually to the local golf economy.
