The Par 3 discipline is a scaled down version of golf that came about to help with training and coaching, helping to focus on basic core principles such as technique and tactics. Playing a Par 3 course helps to hone and develop skills that will stand any golfer in good stead in the full form of the game, and in particular works on their short game.
The Farmfoods British Par 3 Championship offers amateurs the unique opportunity to play alongside a celebrity in a televised tournament.
Teams are made up of 3 amateurs, joined by a celebrity, all compete in the celeb-am event.
Each team registers at Nailcote Hall and enjoy complimentary breakfast and lunch in the VIP marquee.
Tee times are assigned in advance with 3 slots available – 8:30am, 11:30am and 2:30pm.
The course is 9 holes and every team plays the course twice with the best two nett Stableford scores counting per hole. Maximum handicap for amateurs is 18, half allowance.
After the round, guests enjoy a complimentary lunch with their celebrity before using our shuttle service to a nearby hotel to freshen up and get ready for the black-tie celebrity ball, featuring a champagne reception and 3-course meal.
*Please note that each amateur is able to bring one guest with them to the evening ball.
Tournament host, Tony Jacklin CBE, will say a few words at the beginning of the event which is followed by a 3-course meal, charity auction, prizegiving and live entertainment.
Following the conclusion of the evening, our shuttle service will be on hand to take you back to the hotel.
