THE Ladies European Tour is returning to the Coffs Harbour Golf Club.

In March the Coffs Harbour course will play host to the Australian Women’s Classic with the LET co-sanctioning the tournament with the WPGA Tour of Australasia.

The event has been held at Bonville International Resort since its inception in 2018 but next year the international tournament will be played in Coffs.

A strong international field, including many Olympians, is expected at the event.

“New South Wales has a strong connection to the LET and its players,” said Ladies European Tour CEO Alexandra Armas.

“We are delighted to strengthen our collaboration with Golf NSW and the WPGA Tour of Australasia and we thank the NSW Government for their vision in welcoming our international players.”

With an expected influx of visitors, Coffs Harbour is set to receive a significant economic boost. Players, family supporters, and tournament officials will be at each venue for several nights.

And for those who can’t attend in person, fear not because the tournament will be broadcast live, reaching fans across Australia and Europe.

Whether watching from the gallery along one of the Coffs Harbour layout’s beautiful fairways or tuning in from afar, you won’t want to miss a moment as these elite athletes compete for a prize pool purse of $500,000 from March 13 to 16.

The Coffs Harbour Golf Club is no stranger to hosting a Ladies European Tour event having been the venue for the Women’s NSW Open back in 2018 when Meghan MacLaren claimed victory.

The club’s general manager Paul McAra said the success of that event and several others the club has held since laid the platform for being able to host another international tournament.

“We’ve run successful tournaments in the past and proven that we have the capabilities in management and support and the course itself is up to international standard,” McAra said.
