Why “1899”? The year 1899 is significant to the history of golf in the state of Ohio. That year the first public golf course, Ottawa Park, was established in Toledo and is still operational today. That same year, on April 11, 1899, to be exact, Coburn Haskell, an avid golfer, and Bertram G. Work, an employee of the B.F. Goodrich Company in Akron, Ohio, received a patent for the first rubber golf ball. Now over 100 years later, we are keeping that spirit of innovation and community alive with 1899 Indoor Golf, a premier indoor golf experience in the great golfing state of Ohio.
