Open Competitions

We run five Open events each year, where golfers with a current competition handicap are warmly invited to enter. These events are very popular and you are advised to submit your entry early. Places are usually allocated on a first come first served basis.

First up is the Veteran’s Open, generally held in the middle of May. This is an 18-hole Stableford competition for teams of three visitors plus one Bearsted member, with the two best scores on each hole to count.

The Festival of Golf week takes place in mid-June and visitors with a CONGU handicap are invited to play in the midweek competitions. Full details of the events can be found on the Club Website.

The Bearsted Men’s Open, held in late June, is a Kent Order of Merit event played as a 36- hole medal for players with a handicap of 18 or below. There are prizes for the best scratch and handicap score.

The Ladies Open takes place at the end of June played as a three-ball team event and is always well supported by Clubs throughout Kent.
