Waterloo Open Championship

Established in 1933, the Cedar Valley Jaycees’ Greater Waterloo Open Golf Classic is Iowa’s largest and oldest professional golf tournament. Every year, the Waterloo Open hosts nearly 400 amateur and professional golfers from all across the world.

The Amateur Tournament has a capacity of 288 competitors. There is an Open Division and a Senior Division. A Senior competitor may compete in both divisions if they desire. The format consists of 18 holes of medal play on both Friday and Saturday. Golfers making the cut advance to the Championship Round on Sunday.

The low 36 rounds plus ties from the Open Amateur Division and the low four rounds plus ties from the Senior Amateur Division qualify for the championship round, which is played with the Professionals on Sunday at Irv Warren Memorial Golf Course. Those who make the cut automatically receive a gift certificate prize, and additional prizes are awarded based on final results after Sunday’s championship round.
