The Carlton Woods Invitational was established to create a tournament based upon tradition that is rich in quality and detail. We continue to build upon the history, traditions, and philosophy behind the Invitational.

The inaugural Invitational was held in 2006. The Club remains committed to developing the Invitational into one of the most-prestigious events in amateur golf. We expect to give our players a pure, traditional golf experience while paying attention to the smallest of details. The Invitational has attracted an elite national amateur field and represents one of the finest events in the U.S. The format is a three day stroke play competition for Mid-Amateur and Senior- Amateur golfers.

In the first three years, the Invitational was held on our Nicklaus Signature and Tom Fazio golf courses; both of which receive meticulous care and attention. Given the difficulty of the playing conditions, the Tournament Committee decided to hold the tournament on the same course for all three rounds, beginning in 2008. The Invitational was selected as one of Golfweek’s national designated tournaments and at that time, the practice of flying the state flags of each contestant was adopted.

An official tournament logo and winners’ trophies were designed to incorporate an American bald eagle, reminiscent of our national bird and the eagle pair who have made their home in the massive treetop nest on the 4th teebox of our Nicklaus Signature course. The “Eagle Trophy” represents the strength, pride, and tradition we are building into this tournament.
