The Leveret Trophy
The Leveret Trophy 2025
Formby Ladies will again be holding the 36 hole Ladies Open Leveret Trophy early in the season on Saturday 5th April 2025. For the past several years The Leveret has presented a good opening test to the domestic season and we aim to present a course that is fair but challenging.
Leading women golfers from England have an even greater incentive to play in the Leveret as from 2017 England Golf combined 10 of England’s 36 hole events into five new 72 hole competitions, with the intention of helping its top players improve their positions on the World Amateur Golf Ranking. Prior to this amalgamation of events these 36 hole competitions didn’t qualify for WAGR points, but the five new combined 72 hole competitions do.
The Leveret is combined with the Comboy Scratch Cup, which is held at Delamere Forest. Both events are run separately with their own prizes, but the combined totals qualify for the 72 hole event known as the Comboy Leveret for the purposes of WAGR points. To find out more about this initiative, go to the England Golf website, and to find out more about the World Amateur Golf Ranking click here.
There is no official prize giving, which enables those travelling long distances to better plan their schedules.
All correspondence will be conducted via e-mail.
