National Golf Club Challenge celebrates its 200th Club

Posted on 2nd March, 2010

Hillside Golf Club on England's Golf Coast has become the 200th golf club to sign up for the National Golf Club Challenge, which will take place at golf courses throughout the UK on either Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th July 2010, in support of Help for Heroes.

With golf clubs entering on a daily basis, the National Golf Club Challenge is on course to become the largest amateur golf event to take place in the UK.

The Challenge, recently featured on the European Tour website highlighting the fabulous 'Lee Westwood Cup', will bring hundreds of golf clubs, and thousands of golfers together on the same weekend as part of the nationwide charity golf event.

Simon Newland, Hillside Golf Club secretary commented "This is a fabulous event which will benefit a very worthwhile cause and one with which we are proud to be associated. We have worked with Pure Golf Events for the last two years, hosting a charity golf day in aid of Help for Heroes, and it wasn't a difficult decision to lend our name to The National Golf Club Challenge. We will do everything we can to make the challenge a wonderful success for our members and Help for Heroes".

Hillside Golf Club is highly regarded as one of the finest championship courses in the British Isles not to have staged an Open Championship and a 'must play' course for any golfer. With a spectacular setting in the heart of England's Golf Coast, Hillside offers stunning golf for all levels of golfers and has in the opinion of many probably one of the best back nines in British Golf, a view shared by some of the greatest including Greg Norman.
