Golf Classic

The tradition continues! We are thrilled to announce that registration and sponsorship opportunities for the 2026 Carmel Catholic Golf Classic are officially live. Last year was our best year on record, netting over $109,000 for our students, and this year we are aiming even higher.

Join us on Monday, August 10, 2026, at the prestigious Royal Melbourne Country Club in Long Grove for a day of premier golf, community spirit, and life-changing impact.

 

Before we launch onto the course, we're thrilled to welcome a very special guest to kick things off — Jim Cornelison will be joining us live at the starting line to perform his world-famous, powerhouse rendition of the National Anthem!

 

For over two decades, Jim has been one of the most iconic voices in American sports. Best known as the full-time anthem singer for the Chicago Blackhawks, his powerful, operatic tenor and electrifying performances are a legendary Chicago tradition. An elite, operatically-trained singer, Jim has brought his staggering talent to massive venues across the globe — from the Winter Olympics and NASCAR races to NFL playoff games and the Indy 500.

 

We are incredibly honored to have this Chicago sports icon bring that legendary energy straight to our Carmel community. It will be an unforgettable kickoff!

 

Don’t wait to grab your spot at one of the top-rated courses in the region. Whether you are an alum, a current parent, or a friend of Carmel, this is the Corsair event of the summer!

 

• The Experience: Enjoy a buffet lunch in the member pub and veranda, a world-class round of golf, cocktail hour, and a full dinner program.
• The Swag: Each golfer receives our exclusive, limited-edition club headcover, available only at the Golf Classic, along with other premium Corsair giveaways.
• The Deal: Take advantage of early bird discounts by registering your foursome today! Keep your scores low on the course and your costs even lower by booking early.

 

We are looking for partners to help us shatter last year's record. Sponsoring the Golf Classic is more than just a donation; it is a high-visibility opportunity to promote your business to over 150 influential community members, alumni, and parents.

Why Sponsor?

• Community Impact: All proceeds provide crucial financial assistance and support our Tuition Assurance program.
• Changing Lives: To date, Tuition Assurance has helped 15 students remain in the Corsair family after the devastating loss of a parent.
• Brand Visibility: There are tons of opportunities to be promoted within our community, from Tee Box Sponsors to Premier levels.
