The team and I are really looking forward to welcoming legends of the game and past heroes to our Jack Nicklaus Signature Design Course, which will prove an enjoyable and challenging test for all, particularly for those making their first visit to the course.

“We’re thrilled to have OFX as the title sponsor, and their partnership will undoubtedly play a key role in ensuring the success of this event,” he added.

The event will kick off on Wednesday with a celebrity pro-am, where stars including Robbie Fowler, Teddy Sheringham and more icons to be revealed, will have the chance to showcase their golfing talents.

The course provides players with plenty of challenges to avoid with five lakes, which come into play on six holes, and 80 bunkers which are strategically placed around the course.
