On behalf of the R&A, we have hosted Regional Qualifying for the Open Championship. Minchinhampton has been one of only 13 courses to be selected across the UK and is well deserved recognition for the outstanding golf facilities the 130 year old Club provide.

The Qualifier gives a chance for regional professionals and elite amateur players to chase their dream of playing in a Major Championship against the world’s best players in what is regarded as the premier golf competition in the world.

The Qualifier is held on The Avening Championship Course which recreates the original Martin Hawtree layout, combining, for the first time since 1995, the most challenging holes from both of the New Courses at Minchinhampton.
