County Durham’s Ramside Hall Hotel to host England Golf event
Ramside Hall Hotel, on the outskirts of Durham, will host the English Open Stroke Play Championship for golfers with disabilities, organised by England Golf, on its Prince Bishops’ course.
The two-day competition begins on Tuesday, June 24, and will see players compete over 36 holes.
To be eligible, golfers must hold an EDGA World Rankings Pass (WR4GD), an EDGA Access Pass, or an EDGA Access Conditional Pass.
Helen Roseberry, director of golf at Ramside Hall Hotel, said: “Golf has always been a massively important part of what we offer at Ramside and to attract an event of this calibre is fantastic for us.
“It has come at a time when we are investing heavily in the golf facilities, with the creation of our multi-million pound golf academy, leisure and entertainment hub now well underway.
“We look forward to welcoming all of these amazing players to experience what Ramside has to offer.”
Ramside Hall Hotel, based in County Durham, is home to two championship golf courses.
The new golf development includes a 43-bay TopTracer driving range, a six-lane indoor bowling alley, and a sports bar featuring interactive electronic games.
Other amenities at the site include darts and shuffleboards, pool tables, and large screens for live sports.
The new academy aims to attract more golf professionals and will offer short game practice and coaching areas, a retail outlet, and a 120-seat function room.
The tournament is open to both amateur and professional players, and regularly draws top talent from across the country.
A separate 36-hole stableford competition will be held for players with a handicap index of 18.5 to 36.0.
In addition to the competition, the event will include a networking session and panel discussion focused on making sport more accessible and inclusive across the region.
