Chili Open
Feb 25th, 2023
The Chili Open will run from 10am to 3pm this year, with the doors opening at 9am if you want to claim your favorite table, and the fun, games, food and drink starting at 10.
With the generous support of area businesses the Chili Open Golf Classic, organized by the Rotary Club of Strongsville, has raised more than $2 million for charity since 1992.
The all-volunteer event has become a February tradition in Northeastern Ohio, drawing nearly 1,000 golfers who tee off into blasts of frigid air, putt across frosty greens and warm up in a hall full of hot food and sizzling activities, like the action-packed celebrity auction.
After a 2 year hiatus due to covid the Chili Open is back.
It's more than a refreshing game of winter golf.
The Chili Open Golf Classic is a full day of fun, including:
- Golf
- Celebrity auction
- Grand Prize Raffle
- Hourly 50/50 drawings
- All the great food you can eat
- Beer
- Contests, games and prizes
- And it's all for charity

Although every resident shares the same disease when it comes to addiction, the Lantern recognizes that every individual has their particular focus area that needs to be addressed. Residents are treated with the utmost compassion and care rather than being regarded as just another number or statistic.
