Probably the best pairs event in the world
Published: Last updated:
Golfers across the south of England are being invited to take part in ‘probably the best open pairs competition in the world’ – and win a day’s golf on the West Course at Wentworth.
Players of all abilities are set to flock to leading 2-FORE!-1 venue Dartmouth Golf & Country Club on Thursday July 11 to compete in the Carlsberg Open Competition, sponsored by the famous Danish brewers with the legendary advertising slogan.
In addition to 18 holes on Wentworth’s West Course – the home of the European Tour’s flagship event, the BMW PGA Championship – the winners will also receive one night’s dinner, bed and breakfast at the famous Surrey venue.
Taking place over Dartmouth’s challenging Championship Course, the event is open to men and women (the handicap limit is 28 for men and 36 for women) and will be played in a fourball betterball Stableford format off three-quarters handicap.
Entry costs just £30 per pair for Dartmouth members and £48 per pair for visitors, and golfers have until Thursday July 4 to enter by phoning 01803 712016 or emailing golf@dgcc.co.uk.
Situated in 225 acres of south Devon countryside, just outside the beautiful town of Dartmouth, the resort boasts 27 holes of golf with the 18-hole Championship Course and Dartmouth Course complementing each other nicely.
The Championship Course was designed to challenge the most proficient golfer, with strategic positioning of tees, meandering streams, 12 water features and undulating greens. But while it makes the better players think, it is not so punitive as to spoil a round for high-handicappers and provides an excellent and enjoyable challenge to golfers of all abilities.
Although only a nine-hole layout, the Dartmouth is built to the same high standards as its sister course. Measuring 2,252 yards with a par of 33, it is guaranteed to test players while they enjoy a more relaxed round.
In addition to golf, the resort also boasts first-class leisure facilities, which include an indoor pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and spa.
