The event was part of the Futures Tour's schedule from 1998 through 2008.
From 2004 to 2008, it was played at Cleveland Heights Golf Course.
The most recent title sponsor was Bright House Networks, a cable television and digital services provider with headquarters in Syracuse, New York.
The tournament was a 54-hole event, as are most Futures Tour tournaments, and included pre-tournament pro-am opportunities, in which local amateur golfers could play with the professional golfers from the Tour as a benefit for local charities.
Charities benefiting from the Bright House Networks Open included The First Tee of Lakeland.
