British Speedgolf describes the event as one of the most unique fixtures in the British golfing calendar, with a maximum field of 70 players and the same format used in 2025: one qualifying round for the full field, followed by a second round for the top 20 performers from any category competing for the overall championship. That structure gives the event a rare mix of openness and pressure, welcoming pros, amateurs, women, seniors, and juniors while still producing a sharp elite finish on a compact course built for fast, committed play.\n\nPast champions include: James Hardy and Emily Mollard in 2025; Will Major and Bev Fentiman in 2024; Luke Willett and Lauren Cupp in 2023; Rob Hogan and Kathy Leppard in 2022; Luke Willett in 2021; Jamie Reid and Kathy Leppard in 2019; Chris Benians and Liz McKinnon in 2018; Chris Benians and Lizzie Taylor in 2017; and Rob Hogan and Emma Morgan in 2016.","speedscoreCourseUrl":"https://speedscore.org/courses/CourseDetail/66c87ff8a2301f542c62f23d","lastUpdatedAt":"2026-03-28T12:05:54.987Z","attendanceDecision":{"summary":"British Speedgolf Championship is scheduled for September 6, 2026 at Sunningdale Heath Golf Club in Ascot, England, GB as 18 hole stroke play + top 20 advance to same day championship round.","days":1,"holes":18,"beginnerFriendly":false,"estimatedRunDistance":{"miles":2.61,"kilometers":4.2,"source":"SpeedScore course profile","courseName":"Sunningdale Heath Golf Club","teesetName":"Mens"},"courseProfile":{"climbMeters":87.92,"descentMeters":83.36,"elevationRangeMeters":12.55,"timeParMenSeconds":2004.4,"timeParWomenSeconds":2607.6},"nearbyAirports":[{"iata":"LHR","name":"London Heathrow Airport","municipality":"London","isoCountry":"GB","distanceKm":15},{"iata":"FAB","name":"Farnborough Airport","municipality":"Farnborough, Hampshire","isoCountry":"GB","distanceKm":16},{"iata":"BBS","name":"Blackbushe Airport","municipality":"Camberley, Surrey","isoCountry":"GB","distanceKm":16}],"travelNotes":"Nearest useful airports: LHR (15 km), FAB (16 km), BBS (16 km).","missingInfo":[]}}
