STREETSBORO, OH — The Captains Club, organizers of the highly anticipated 24th Carl Spackler Open, announced today the commencement of the selection period for the first set of participant options. Golf enthusiasts and participants can now make crucial decisions ranging from lodging reservations to event purchase orders, marking the initial step towards a seamless and enjoyable event.

Greg Long, Chairman of the Captains Club, highlighted the significance of this phase, stating, "The main purpose for the initial set of participant options is to collect single occupancy lodging reservations and begin the full collection of outstanding balances."

The first set of participant options includes key elements such as single occupancy rooms, confirming the Spackler kickoff time, purchase orders, and the identification of replay round participants. This first set of participant options is part of a three-phase plan designed to further organize the tournament’s field of players.

The first set of participant options will close on May 4, 2025. The second set will open on May 5, 2025 when the full roster is final.

"This is the first of three sets of participant options," added Greg Long. "We will collect roommates and playing partners inside the second set of participant options starting in early May. Then finalize our event with a third set of options in late June."

The Hampton Inn & Suites, offering 46 rooms with 2 beds, will serve as the lodging venue. The Boulder Creek Golf Club in Streetsboro, Ohio, will host the golf tournament with space for 92 golfers. The golf course is expected to present plenty of challenges including an island green.

A unique feature of the single occupancy room option includes a "desire to help if needed" selection. Participants opting for double occupancy can express their willingness to be contacted in May 2025 if a single occupancy contribution can help balance the hotel budget with an even number of single occupancy rooms.

The 2025 Carl Spackler Open, scheduled to take place at Boulder Creek Golf Club, anticipates a tournament field of 88 to 92 golfers.

Golf enthusiasts and participants are encouraged to seize this opportunity to shape their Carl Spackler Open experience by engaging with the participant options available during this selection period.
