About the Event
Fore! The Arts Golf Classic is the collective golf outing directly benefiting each of the collaborating organizations under the YourArts collective. Each year, the event generates additional funding made possible by our generous sponsors and donors, as well as participating teams! Held each year at the beautiful Youngstown Country Club, the Golf Classic features an exciting day of golf, followed by a cocktail reception with a lunch buffet and a presentation of the prizes won.
We are proud to announce that the 6th annual Fore! The Arts Golf Classic to benefit Opera Western Reserve, Stambaugh Auditorium, the Youngstown Playhouse, the Youngstown Symphony, and the DeYor Performing Arts Center will be held on Friday, July 31, 2026 at the Youngstown Country Club.
