Magnificent Magenta to host Women’s NSW Open | Inside Golf. Australia’s Most-Read Golf Magazine as named by Australian Golfers


2023 NSW Women’s Open winner, Momoka Kobori.

THE magnificent Magenta Shores Golf Course on the NSW Central Coast will host the $500,000 Women’s NSW Open for the first time in 2024.  

A championship which tees off on March 29, the event is set to attract over 120 elite female golfers from across Australia and around the world, with the co-sanctioned Women’s NSW Open featuring around 90 international players from the Ladies European Tour (LET), 30 WPGA competitors, plus a contingent of Australia’s elite female amateurs. 

Golf NSW CEO Stuart Fraser, said the organisation looked forward to the Central Coast showcasing some of the brightest talent in women’s professional golf. 

“Golf NSW, with the support of the NSW Government, is thrilled to be able to bring the Women’s NSW Open to a fabulous venue like Magenta Shores,” Fraser said.

“It will be exciting to watch some of the sport’s best female athletes from around the globe competing in regional NSW for one of Australia’s most prestigious state Open championships.”

Golf NSW, with the assistance of the NSW Government, secured the event through the Department of Regional NSW and tourism and major events agency Destination NSW, as part of a three-year agreement to ensure tournaments of this stature remain in regional NSW until at least 2026.

The NSW Government also supports the NSW Open Regional Open Qualifying Series through its tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW, and the Department of Regional NSW.

The Venue

Magenta Shores Golf & Country Club is a Ross Watson-designed 18-hole links golf course offering an idyllic seaside location. Magenta places a premium on position as much as length off the tee and will be a worthy challenge for the competitors vying for the Jan Stephenson Trophy.

History

First held in 2006, the tournament has been the catalyst for some of the brightest stars in the game to begin their careers, while for others, victory in the Women’s NSW Open helped underline their legacy to the sport.

Dame Laura Davies, widely acknowledged as one of Women’s golf’s greatest-ever players, lifted the trophy in 2008. 

Kiwi Lydia Ko, a former women’s world number one, claimed her first professional title in winning the NSW Open at age 14 in 2012.

While two players have successfully defended their women’s NSW Open crown, Sarah Oh in 2009/2010 and England’s Meghan MacLaren who defended the 2018 title which she won at Coffs Harbour, with a hard-fought victory at the Queanbeyan course in 2019.
