Burhill Golf Club will play host to Europe’s top up-and-coming tour players having been chosen to host a PGA EuroPro Tour event.
The Walton-on-Thames venue welcomes aspiring European Tour professionals from across the continent from Thursday July 30, to Saturday August 1, when players will tackle the spectacular New Course.
The PGA EuroPro Tour, a development tour for young professionals looking to make the main European Tour, is screened on Sky Sports, giving Burhill GC its first taste of television exposure.
Players will take on the picturesque New Course at Burhill, which incorporates the River Mole and features dramatic water features.
Players will have to be wary of the many well-positioned bunkers and can look forward to playing one of the most beautiful finishing holes around – the
signature par-3 18th requires a solid tee shot over the River Mole to a two-tier green with the Georgian mansion clubhosue an impressive backdrop.
Colin Mayes, Chief Executive of Burhill Golf & Leisure Ltd, said: “We look forward to welcoming the PGA EuroPro Tour to our New Course which will present an excellent challenge to the young professionals and an enjoyable experience for sponsors, corporate teams and their guests playing in the Pro-Am.
Danny Nickless, PGA EuroPro Tour Operations Manager, added: “Burhill is a fantastic addition to the 2009 schedule. General Manager David Cook and his team have a venue to be proud of and I’m sure they will pull out all the stops for what promises to be a great event on a very challenging course.”
