Open Competitions in Berkshire

Why Enter an Open Golf Event in Berkshire?

Berkshire sits at the heart of England's celebrated sand-belt heathland, home to one of the densest concentrations of championship inland golf anywhere in the British Isles. The Berkshire's twin Herbert Fowler eighteens and Sunningdale's Old (Willie Park Jr) and New (Harry Colt) sit within a few miles of each other — venues that between them have hosted the Walker Cup, Senior Open, Women's British Open and a decade of Open Championship Final Qualifying. Swinley Forest — Colt's own self-described favourite design — completes a trio that defines English heathland golf, and the Berkshire Trophy at The Berkshire remains one of the most prestigious 72-hole amateur events in the country.

Beyond the heathland headliners, Bearwood Lakes brings modern championship parkland to Wokingham. With the M3, M4 and direct rail from London Paddington and Waterloo putting most marquee venues within an hour of central London, Berkshire is one of the most accessible counties in the country for visiting competitors — and the strength of its venues makes it one of the most rewarding for amateur tournament play.
