Landbou Open and Juniors 2025: What to Know Before You Tee Off - 20 July

Golfers across Potchefstroom and beyond are dusting off their clubs for the much-anticipated Landbou Open and Juniors 2025, set to tee off on Sunday, 20 July 2025 at the Landbou Golf Club. It’s not a music festival, although the thwack of well-hit drives might be music to the ears of some. Here's everything you need to know, without the fluff.

Who Can Enter?

The event is open to any male amateur golfer who:

• Belongs to a Golf Club affiliated with a Union or Association recognised by SAGA (South African Golf Association)

• Has a valid handicap assessed under a SAGA-approved system

• Is a senior player (Juniors presumably will be in a separate division, though that part’s vague)

• Has a handicap index of 24 or lower

But before you start bragging about your birdies, remember: entry is not guaranteed. The Landbou Golf Association will have the final say, basing approval on your handicap and the number of entries received.

Venue: Landbou Golf Club, Potchefstroom

Format: 18 holes

Limit: 60 players max

The R300 entry fee doesn’t just get you a spot on the green, it also includes that all-important halfway snack and a warm cup to kickstart your day. But no caddies allowed, so you’ll be lugging your own bag unless you’ve got permission for an outside caddie.

Draw Info:
