Saturday 25th and Sunday the 26th of October saw big fields of golfers from as far away as Boyne Island, Emu Park, Redcliffe, Wantima, Beerwah and Windaroo Lakes as well as golfers from all the local courses from Toowoomba to Tenterfield compete in the Stanthorpe Open. This is one of the main events on the local golfing calendar and due to the efforts put in by the local members and our fantastic greenkeeper Bill Pyne the course was in excellent condition which we were able to showcase to all of our visitors.

Major sponsors for the weekend were City Golf Club, Middle Ridge Golf Club and Tenterfield Golf Club with support from Luxury Home Living and the Ballandean Pub, and we would like to thank all of our sponsors for their generous support.

We also had the company of Troy Alsford, the Warwick Club Professional who enjoyed his day and came in with a great score.
