For the first time, the Penguin Club Scholarship Golf Outing is being held at the historic Youngstown Country Club.

Founded in 1898, The Youngstown Country Club is one of the oldest clubs in America. It features one of Northeast Ohio's finest golf venues.

The Youngstown Country Club course, built in 1911 by Walter J. Travis, then upgraded in 1921 by Donald Ross, is demanding but fair. Contoured fairways with subtle undulations, heavy but well-cropped roughs of blue grass, strategically placed bunkers, a meandering creek and growing tree lines that also come into play make every round a challenge for golfers at every level. The Par-71 course, features roughly 6,363 yards of challenges.

Scholarship, Presenting, Red and individual packages are available for participants. All participants receive driving range access, lunch, dinner, on-course refreshments, riding cart, fan pack and door prize entry ticket.
