English Open

A tournament with a proud history, the English Open will return on Sunday 28 June 2026 and will be hosted at Peterborough Minigolf on the T12 Course. The tour has visited Peterborough on numerous occasions, with former club Sussex Wasps previously hosting their open there annually and the venue is once again set to welcome players from across the field for one of the standout events of the season. The current English Open champion remains David Woodcock, who claimed his maiden title in 2024 at Taunton with a commanding five-shot victory over Michael Smith and Seve Kukielka. The T12 course at Peterborough, designed by tour sponsors UrbanCrazy, provides a technical yet highly rewarding test, and as with all of their layouts, precision and opportunity conversion will be essential, particularly given the 12-hole format where every ace opportunity can prove decisive.

The 2026 event will be played over five rounds of 12-hole stroke play, with access from 08:40 and first tee-off scheduled for 09:20. Entry fees are set at £25 for members and £30 for non-members, with places limited and early entry strongly advised. There is expected to be significant prize money on offer alongside trophies and medals for leading performances.

Refreshments and food will be available on site at Dobbies throughout the event, with live scoring provided across all rounds and live streaming also planned, with further details to follow.

The English Open has a long-standing and distinguished history, having first been held in 1999 and staged at a wide variety of courses since its inception. Previous winners include Michael Smith, Seve Kukielka, Tim Davies, Sean Homer, Chris Harding, Joseph Vallory, Nick Chitty, Peter Parr, Ted McIver and James Shaw. The question now is who will rise to the occasion in 2026 and add their name to this illustrious list when the English Open returns to Peterborough. Entries are now open, and competitors are encouraged to secure their place early.
