The South West Open Experience: Pro-Am & New Team Challenge

This format provides amateurs with a rare chance to play alongside elite players, gaining insights into their game while enjoying a top-tier golfing experience.

Excitingly, 2025 will see the introduction of the South West Teams Challenge, a brand-new event designed to further connect professionals with club golfers. This innovative format will see teams of three club golfers from any club partner with a visiting professional to compete for the title of South West Teams Challenge Champions. This addition adds an extra layer of strategy and camaraderie to the event, giving club players an opportunity to experience tournament golf alongside elite professionals.

A Festival of Golf – The Party Hole
The South West Open isn’t just about elite golf—it’s about atmosphere. In 2025, the introduction of the Party Hole will bring a high-energy, festival-like vibe to the event. Inspired by the excitement of LIV Golf and the WM Phoenix Open, this hole will feature a live DJ, grandstand seating, and a buzzing crowd ready to cheer on every birdie and big moment.

This initiative aims to create a must-attend experience for spectators, blending world-class golf with a social, high-energy environment where fans can be loud, celebrate, and be part of something truly special.
