Details:
This year marks a major milestone for Knoebels Amusement Resort. We are celebrating its 100th anniversary! What began in 1828 as a simple farm purchased for $931 grew, over the generations, into a creek-side swimming hole and picnic destination known as Knoebels Grove. On July 4, 1926, the Knoebel family officially opened the property as an amusement resort, adding a restaurant, a steam-powered carousel, and a handful of simple games. They laid the foundation for what would become America's largest free-admission amusement park.
As part of the 100th anniversary weekend celebrations, Knoebels is inviting the community to participate in something new: the
first-ever Knoebels Kares Charity Golf Tournament.
Tournament Details:
Format: Scramble
Cost: $350 per foursome
Includes: Light breakfast, hot dog at the turn, one beer per player generously sponsored by Rusty Rail, and lunch at Nickle Plate Bar & Grill following the tournament.
Prizes: Awarded to the top 3 teams
Proceeds benefit Knoebels Kares, a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to giving back to the central Pennsylvania community through scholarships for individuals pursuing educational opportunities and financial support for qualified local nonprofits.
This tournament is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate Knoebels' first 100 years while helping lay the groundwork for the next 100, and supporting our neighbors along the way. Join us! Registration deadline is Friday, June 26, 2026.
