Open Tournaments

Hello forum!

First post.....

With the cancellation of most (if not all) Open competitions this year, I'm eagerly looking forward to 2021.

Anyone recommend good Open competitions to enter (I am in Scotland, but would travel a bit further afield too if it was worth it).

What's the best that you have taken part in, considering quality of course, value for money and welcome etc ?

Crail. We play it every year, it usually costs £20

Are there any opens in Scotland on this year or have they all been binned?

Silloth Goswick all just over the border must be a good shout.

Any Northumberland courses as well.

That’s a shame. I love the opens at Silloth.

I must look for next year.

I’m playing in pairs opens at Woodhall Spa, Beau Desert, and Frilford Heath. Plus 36 holes at Sunningdale in August.

There are still plenty of opens available in 2020.

Looking at Royal Dornoch. Think they are still planning to go ahead at the end of August.

Plenty in Northumberland but they tend to be in pairs or 4's. Scotland seems to be mainly individual comps so if that is what you are expecting bear that in mind.

Check the Golf Empire site and if you have any questions about courses here please ask away.

Royal Aberdeen, Royal Dornoch both worth playing in opens to avoid the big green fee. Cruden Bay the same.

some good ones up here, i think they have re arranged the King, and they have one the next day at Nairn Dunbar on the Sunday.

there are also Open weeks at most of the clubs here so you can get 4 or 5 games depending on if its a 4 or 5 day open.
for next year there are a few walk on opens at the start of the season Golspie and Tain are the same weekend and later in the year Nairn Dunbar and Moray again the same weekend

Cheers for that. Might have to pack a bag and head north!

There are some great sites out there like Golf Empire or Find Open Competitions https://www.opengolfclubcompetitions.co.uk/ that will no doubt get updated hopefully as we get through and second wave and into 2021
