Following on from the huge success of the inaugural Rose Ladies Open in 2022, the Roses are delighted to announce that the tournament will once again return to Brocket Hall at the earlier date of 7-9 September in 2023.
Kate and Justin have secured Brocket Hall as hosts for the next 2 years, working together with the venue to build on the solid foundations of the 2022 tournament and make the 2023 event bigger and better.
Brocket Hall in Hertfordshire, England will play host to the 54-hole stroke play tournament which will boast an increased prize fund of €70,000; the largest prize fund this season on the LET Access Series.
A field of 108 players will be teeing it up on the par-72 Melbourne Course, which opened in June 1992 and is the handiwork of former Ryder Cup golfers Peter Alliss and Clive Clark.
