Golf courses were being cut at Oglebay before the ink was dry on the City’s acceptance of Waddington Farm as Oglebay Park. Today, Oglebay Golf offers the largest First Tee Program in our region as well as many clinics, workshops and opportunities to learn and/or improve your game.

Your gift ensures that Oglebay’s youth golf initiatives will endure and that the life-lessons learned through the game continue.
