GET set for a spectacular showcase of women’s golf as one of Australia’s most prestigious championships returns to the national sporting stage in early 2025 at an exciting new home.
The Australian Women’s Classic, after six years at the renowned Bonville Golf Resort, will now take place at the stunning Coffs Harbour Golf Club on the State’s mid-north coast from March 13-16.
This picturesque location promises an unforgettable experience for players and fans alike, showcasing some of the finest talent in women’s golf against a backdrop of the delightful city of Coffs Harbour.
Over 130 of the world’s best female golfers will battle it out, with a lucrative $500,000 prize purse up for grabs in an event co-sanctioned by the Women’s Professional Golf Association Tour of Australasia (WPGA) and the Ladies European Tour (LET).
The Australian Women’s Classic also offers a golden opportunity for players, their families, and supporters to explore the beauty and charm of regional NSW.
For those unable to attend in person, the event will be broadcast live, bringing excitement to fans across Australia and Europe.
Golf NSW Chief Executive Officer, Stuart Fraser, expressed enthusiasm for the tournament’s new host venue on the NSW mid-north coast.
“Golf NSW, with the support of the NSW Government, is thrilled to bring the Australian Women’s Classic to a fabulous venue like Coffs Harbour Golf Club,” Fraser said.
“It will be exciting to watch some of the sport’s best female athletes from around the globe competing in regional NSW for one of Australia’s most prestigious championships,” he added.
