June Invitational
ALCC's biggest MAJOR — started in 1975, drawing over 250 amateur golfers from 6 states each year for the club's most competitive weekend of the season.
About This Event
During the last full weekend in June, over 250 amateur golfers from 6 states join us for our biggest, most competitive event of the season. The June Invitational is ALCC’s biggest and best MAJOR.
Started in 1975 and won by local legends Don Dimoff Sr. & Butch Yelovich, the June Invitational has been played by thousands of golfers from all over the country. The tournament has been maxed out at 128 teams spread over 8 flights of different skill levels. Friday used to be reserved for qualifying, but has changed into a practice round day with a huge optional skins game. Friday and Saturday nights host several events in the StoneHouse Lounge, with a meal served each day of the event.
Camping is available, and many local homes, camps, and cabins are rented out for guests during the weekend.
In its earliest years, newspaper coverage referred to the event as the “Mount Union Invitational Best-Ball of Partners” tournament before it took on the June Invitational name it carries today. In 2020, the tournament was pushed to August and briefly renamed the ALCC Invitational due to a COVID-19 delay.
