Some of Victoria’s leading women’s golfers will arrive in Horsham this month as the city prepares to host the 2026 Victorian Women’s Spring Golf Tournament at Horsham Golf Club on 16 and 17 November.
The prestigious Golf Australia event brings together metropolitan and regional players from across the state, celebrating women’s golf while providing an opportunity for high-quality competition and connection.
Competitors will contest the Ruby McKenzie Trophy and Vi Teesdale Trophy across 36 holes, honouring two women whose contributions helped shape the game in Victoria.
Mayor Cr Brian Klowss said the tournament would provide significant benefits both on and off the course.
“Sporting events bring energy and excitement to our community, and we’re delighted Horsham has been chosen to host one of Victoria’s premier women’s golf tournaments,” Cr Klowss said.
“We know competitors and their families will receive a warm Wimmera welcome and enjoy everything Horsham and the surrounding region have to offer during their stay.”
The Victorian Women’s Spring Golf Tournament forms part of Golf Australia’s commitment to growing participation and strengthening connections between female golfers across Victoria, creating opportunities for players from metropolitan and regional communities to come together through competition.
The Ruby McKenzie Trophy is awarded to the tournament’s scratch winner, while the Vi Teesdale Trophy recognises the leading net performer. Both trophies honour pioneering women who made significant contributions to the development and administration of golf in Victoria.
The tournament is expected to attract players and supporters from across the state, supporting local accommodation providers, hospitality venues and retailers, while showcasing Horsham as a destination for major sporting events.
Horsham Rural City Council looks forward to welcoming players, supporters and visitors from across Victoria and celebrating a tournament that showcases the talent, sportsmanship and enduring strength of women’s golf.
