Cleveland Golf operates as a sports equipment manufacturer under the ownership of SRI Sports Limited, which is a division of Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd.. Headquartered in Huntington Beach, California, the company was originally established in 1979 by Roger Cleveland, launching as Cleveland Classics with a focus on producing replicas of vintage golf clubs.

The company was acquired in 1990 by ski gear producer Skis Rossignol, who rebranded it as Cleveland Golf. The product lineup grew to include notable offerings such as VAS woods and irons, followed by the introduction of Tour Action irons and QuadPro woods, all characterized by their traditional styling.

Following Quiksilver, Inc.'s acquisition of Rossignol’s assets in 2005, Cleveland Golf remained under its management until December 2007, when ownership transferred to Dunlop Sport. Dunlop Sports Co. Ltd. oversees multiple brands throughout North America and continues to maintain Cleveland Golf’s main office in Huntington Beach. The company also operates international branches in Japan, Europe, and Canada, supported by a network of 26 distributors worldwide.

Cleveland Golf is recognized for pioneering wedges featuring various sole bounce options and for introducing individually milled grooves on wedge faces—advancements that have improved club performance and set the brand apart within the golf equipment industry.
