The Mid-Ohio Invitational is a 36-hole amateur golf championship played annually at the Hickory Flat Greens Golf Course in West Lafayette. West Lafayette is in eastern Coshocton County. The tournament is always played on the last full weekend in June.

The field is limited to 102 entrants. Paired in threesomes, golfers begin play each morning at 8:30. Tee times last until nearly 1 p.m. On the second day, players are paired by score with those with the lowest first round scores in the final groups. If needed to determine a champion, a sudden-death play-off will commence shortly after the last threesome finishes on Sunday.

Golfers may carry their own clubs, use caddies or ride on carts provided by the course. Those who wish to have a caddy must provide their own. Rangefinders, including Sky Caddie, are allowed. USGA rules govern play.
