Your entry fee covers the 18-hole Stableford competition at Royal Wellington Golf Club’s Heretaunga Course, a premium Duke of Edinburgh Cup merchandise gift bag valued at $100, the prize-giving ceremony, and the opportunity to qualify for the World Finals at Windsor Castle.

The tournament is open to all amateur golfers holding a valid handicap. You must be 18 years or older at the start date of the World Finals (27 September 2026) to qualify for the main prize. Players under 18 may compete but cannot qualify for the World Finals.

Maximum handicap is 28 for men and 36 for women. Playing handicap is calculated at 90% of your course handicap after slope adjustment.
