Unique chance to play the South of England's best golf courses
Among the many qualities that makes golf the most rewarding of games is that every course you play is unique and has something distinctive to offer.
Many of us have a list of places that we'd love to experience but may find it hard to secure a tee time or believe it to be prohibitively expensive to pay for a green fee.
However, Amateur Golf Events presents an enticing opportunity to tick off many of the finest venues in England as part of professionally run, engaging and community driven tournaments that are open to golfers of all abilities.
You would enter with a partner in a pairs, stableford format, where you can compete for wonderful prizes and the chance to qualify for the Grand Final later in the year. But more than anything, these events are about the camaraderie, the enjoyment, the competitive element, and being part of a truly memorable day out.
Having started in late March, the schedule has encompassed many fabulous layouts, including Little Aston, which Golfshake Ambassador Matt Holbrook was part of at the beginning of May.
Reflecting on that experience, Matt said: "The event itself was excellently run. It’s a tough gig trying to get 160 golfers (80 pairs) out onto a golf course and keep them moving. The guys from Amateur Golf Events did a fantastic job of hosting."
The south of England is home to some of the best courses on the planet, the concentration of quality is hugely underrated, and those who play in several of the AGE dates this summer will discover that reality for themselves.
West Sussex Golf Club

Considered to be part of that elite group of English heathland courses, West Sussex is a remarkably strong design, featuring several of the finest holes you would ever hope to play.
The opportunity to stride those sensational fairways is something that those who participate in the Amateur Golf Events date on the 9th of July can anticipate.
Boasting a stunning Golfshake Rating of 4.95, golfers can still secure their place in the event for £169.00 per person.

West Hill Golf Club

Now, if you want to expand this into a two-day experience, then you need to consider that on the 16th of July, Amateur Golf Events will move just yards away from Worplesdon to the magnificent West Hill Golf Club.
Rated 4.93 by the Golfshake Community, one reviewer concluded: "West Hill is a course that rewards thoughtful golf and an appreciation for classic heathland design. It’s understated, beautifully maintained, and consistently engaging - a must-play for anyone exploring the Surrey sandbelt."
If that sounds good to you - and why wouldn't it! - then you can confirm your place there this summer for £149.00 per person by visiting here.
That means you (and a pairs partner) could tick off two of the most celebrated courses in England across consecutive days in brilliantly run events for £298.00 each.
