Screenshot 2024 05 07 174921

With excitement building and plans in full swing for the biggest event Foxhills has ever hosted, we'd like to outline how the club will operate before and during the event in terms of golf courses, access, facility usage, parking and volunteering opportunities. 

Taking place during the school holidays, the International Series England is a perfect family event as we welcome some world-class golfers to Foxhills, as well as lots of fun off-course activities in the fan village. This is your chance to get close to some of the biggest names in golf including Major winner, Graeme McDowell and Ryder Cup and Majesticks co-captain, Ian Poulter, ​​along with Harold Varner III, Branden Grace, Anirban Lahiri where you can watch them navigate our very own Longcross Course which our greenkeeping team will be working hard to get into its best-ever condition. There will also be plenty of bars and food vendors dotted around the estate to allow you to take in the golf in the sunshine.

Golf courses

Golf course preparations have already begun, with new cutting lines beginning to take shape over May and June. To prepare the Longcross to tour event difficulty, tighter fairways and fast rolling, firm greens are the target. You may see additional roping around greens and selected tees during the year. Increased tee intervals  will help out divoting team prepare the fairways and, outside of any functions already booked, the Longcross will move to member-only in July. 

The tournament organisers and event crew will be on site from mid-July. 18 TV tower structures will be constructed around the Longcross during the second half of July, alongside two viewing bar/ hospitality areas on course.

The Longcross Couse will then close from midday onwards on Saturday 3rd August.

A fan village will then be constucted in the area between the Bernard Hunt first tee and the 18th green, with the 18th fairway used on tournament days as an additional range area. 

Both championship courses will be closed during tournament days (8th-11th August). The Manor Course will also be closed for the week of the event to be used for additional member parking.
