Society Strokeplay Championship & Society Stableford Championship

Cooden Beach Golf Club’s course was designed by W. Herbert Fowler and opened in 1912 and to this day remains an enjoyable yet challenging test to all categories of player. While the course measures a good 6,504 yards at its furthest, it offers a more sedate 6,185 yards from the yellow tee boxes, with five par three holes and a matching five par fives. It provides an easy walk round with the gentle undulations and springy turf making play enjoyable for all ages. Natural drainage is provided by internal and external dykes that border many of the holes but these also act as a magnet to the errant shot that flirts with the changing coastal breezes which remain the true hazard.
