AGE bolsters 2026 schedule with championship pedigree courses, promising a thrilling season of amateur golf.
Amateur Golf Events returns for 2026, with a stronger than ever offering.
The schedule boasts double the events for next year, with 20 competitions staged at some of the UK’s top 100 courses.
What is the Amateur Golf Events (AGE) series?
Amateur Golf Events (AGE) are a season of competitions professionally hosted by the Golfbreaks and Mashie Events teams.
Open to players of all abilities with a handicap, AGE aim to bring golfers together through events that strike the perfect balance of community and camaraderie with competition.
Participants enter as pairs and compete in a stableford format, playing for fantastic prizes, and a chance to qualify for the AGE final at the end of the year.
Here is what you can look forward to in the coming year:
Which venues are part of the Amateur Golf Events schedule in 2026?
AGE will be revisiting popular venues from 2025, including Camberley Heath, The Oxfordshire, St Annes Old Links, Worplesdon, Frilford Heath and Little Aston. While 14 new championship pedigree venues such as West Sussex, The Addington and The Grove have been added to the main schedule.
The season will run from March until September, with those who qualified for the final playing again in November.
AGE have boosted the 2025 calendar with a host of prestigious venues for 2026. These include: The Addington, The Grove, The Shire London, The London Club, West Byfleet, Ganton, Moortown, West Sussex, West Hill, Tandridge, Royal Ashdown Forest, Blackwell, Woodhall Spa and Remedy Oak.
The season kicks off at The Addington on March 25th; a challenging heathland course on the outskirts of London, with fairways meandering through pine woodland and elevated tees providing expansive views of the London skyline.
AGE then moves to The Grove the following month, another championship pedigree course and the location of 2025’s AGE final. This sprawling parkland venue, which hosted the 2016 British Masters, is a course with undulating fairways and heavily protected greens, which are accessible but challenging for golfers of all levels.
West Sussex, ranked 62nd in England’s top 100 courses, is the standout venue for the 2026 season. A par 68 of pure heathland elegance, that demands accuracy and course management. The signature 13th epitomises this challenge, with a through-the-air approach shot onto a tightly bunkered green.
You could play multiple events in consecutive days
With convenience in mind, AGE have introduced back-to-back events with Moortown and Ganton on the 1st and 2nd of July, and Worplesdon and West Hill on the 15th and 16th of July, allowing golfers to stay and play, taking part in multiple competitions.
Of the 20 tournaments, 11 will take place during the months of July and September, so make sure to set aside some time for these congested parts of the season.
What format can you expect from Amateur Golf Events?
The series will run with the same format as it did for 2025, in a pairs better ball stableford format with an 85% WHS handicap allowance.
All 1st placed pairs at each event will earn a place on November’s finals day (location and date TBC), to compete for the headline prize.
Each event is professionally hosted by Golfbreaks and Mashie Events, featuring live scoring, prizes for 1st-5th, on course competitions, welcome gifts, and a complimentary refreshment hole.
Who can take part in Amateur Golf Events
These memorable golfing experiences are open to all players with a handicap. WHS handicaps will qualify for the main prizes, but should a Golfshake or alternative handicap place in the top 5 pairs, another prize will be awarded.
