We run four Open events each year, which golfers with a current CONGU competition handicap are warmly invited to enter. These events are always 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, held in the middle of May. This is an 18-holes Stableford competition for teams of three visitors plus one Bearsted member, with the two best scores on each hole to count.

The Bearsted Men's Open held at the end of June is a Kent Order of Merit event played as a 36-holes 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 July, played as a three-ball team event and is always well supported by clubs throughout Kent.

The final Open event of the season is the Mixed Open. An 18-holes Greensomes Stableford played in fours and this takes place in late September.

Please note that adherence to our dress code is a condition of entry.
