Originally launched in 2007,

the Trilby Tour quickly became one of the most popular amateur golf events in UK. Following several successful years, and following the global pandemic Covid-19, the Trilby Tour ran into financial trouble and folded.

Having had a previous association as host venues, and seeing the potential the Trilby Tour still had, Darwin Escapes acquired the brand in 2021 and launched a new version of the Trilby Tour that was bigger, better and most importantly, more inclusive.

After enjoying a memorable return in 2022– a season that saw men and women compete together for the first time in the competition’s history, more changes were implemented in 2023 which included a new live streaming partnership with LIVE Sport Now meaning the Trilby Tour has been even more accessible. In 2024 the Trilby Tour will consist of four Championships across Great Britain before making it to the Grand Final in September at Dundonald Links. The tour is delighted to see Saddleworth Golf Club making it’s Tour debut in 2024.

The Trilby Tour is played across a series of venues in the Home Counties and the north of England and Scotland, with the best players from each Championship event making it to the Grand Final at Dundonald Links, host venue of the 2023 FREED Women’s Scottish Open and Final Qualifying for The Open Championship and will continue to stage this event until 2026. In the past Dundonald Links has also been home to the Aberdeen Asset Management Ladies Scottish Open, the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open and the Trust Golf Women’s Scottish Open.
