The Northern Golfer Champion of Champions events will return to The Longhirst Club for the sixth time on Sunday September 13, 2026
The events for men, women and juniors will take place concurrently over the Old Course at Longhirst for the first time, and entries are open now further down this page. Open to reigning (2026) club champions, there is no charge for competitors for the 18-hole tournaments, which bring together elite fields of amateur golfers from clubs in Northumberland, County Durham and Teesside along with selected clubs in the Scottish Borders, Cumbria and Yorkshire within Northern Golfer’s circulation area. While players can enter themselves online now if their club championship has been played, all eligible clubs will also receive invitations via email later this summer.
The region’s best amateur golfers have lifted the three trophies since Northern Golfer launched the junior event in 2015, following the success of that tournament with the launch of the ladies’ event and the return of the men’s Champion of Champions in 2017.
