Dana Open comes to Highland Meadows for 35th time
It’s a milestone year for the Dana Open, as the LPGA event celebrates its 40th anniversary and status as the second-longest-running non-major championship. This is also the 35th playing at Highland Meadows, the Sylvania golf club that has grown synonymous with the Jamie Farr-turned-Marathon Classic-turned-Dana Open, hosting many of the tournament’s greatest moments. “Highland Meadows membership, it is a great partnership,” Dana Open tournament director Judd Silverman said. “As successful partnerships go, both parties understand each other’s needs, and we’ve always been able to work it out. I just couldn’t be more appreciative of the support that the club has provided the tournament through the years. I think it’s been a win-win situation, and no partnership is going to last that long if it’s not.” The Jamie Farr Toledo Classic began in 1984 at Glengarry Country Club (now Stone Oak), where it remained until moving to Highland Meadows in 1989. A burned-down clubhouse and Glengarry’s sale to Cavalear Corporation factored into the course change. The marriage has been positive for both sides, evidenced by the length. One tournament at a single course for more than three decades on the LPGA Tour is unheard of.
