Columbia Golf Open 2017

The Columbia Open is back!!!

For each of the past three years, alumni and friends from Ivy League and other acclaimed universities joined together at the Columbia Open for a day of competition and fun.   Battles were fought, friendships were forged, and school honors upheld—along with plenty of laughers and friendly trash talks 

We are pleased to invite you to join our 3rd annual Columbia Open golf tournament. 

Whether you are an individual golf player, or a member of an alumni golf team, this will be a great opportunity to connect with golf players from other schools!

We look forward to seeing you at the event!
