Where is the tournament being held this year?
Dundonald Links will play host to the tournament, four years since South Korean golfer Mi Hyang Lee was crowned champion in 2017. The Kyle Phillips design is a modern yet deceiving links course, with many ‘upturned’ greens at various holes. Renowned as one of the most beautiful golf courses in the country, the deluxe area also covers an unparalleled clubhouse, luxurious lodges and hotel suite accommodation. The Dundonald Links are also nearby to the iconic St. Andrews, which hosts the Men’s Open Championship.
The course will be played across 72 holes after previously being a 54-hole event from 2007 up till 2016.
