2025 to herald series of events hosted by Ian Woosnam and more
Apes Hill Barbados will welcome golfers from around the world in 2025 with a series of events set to inspire and raise money for good causes in the coming months.
The luxury golf and real-estate community will take centre stage for elite professional and amateur golfers, including tournaments hosted by the former Masters champion and World Number One Ian Woosnam.
This week, The Woosnam Fore Diabetes Golf Cup returns to Apes Hill in support of the Barbados Diabetes Foundation. The exciting charity tournament follows a Ryder Cup-style format, with Team Barbados vs. Team International, inspired by the experiences of the eight-time Ryder Cup player who also captained Europe to victory in 2006. The event, taking place on March 13, will be followed by cocktails, eats, and a silent auction featuring exclusive items as well as fantastic prizes for longest drives and closest to the pin.
“Diabetes continues to be a “monster” here in Barbados,” said Woosnam. “Raising funds to assist the Diabetes Foundation to educate the population about diabetes and how to manage the problems resulting from this disease is of utmost importance. The proceeds from this golf event will continue to assist the Foundation in making a difference in people’s lives.”
Next month the Legends Tour returns to the Caribbean for a second successive year with the Barbados Legends hosted by Ian Woosnam from April 25-27. Last year’s tournament saw England’s Peter Baker, Woosnam’s partner in the 1993 Ryder Cup, secure a thrilling a play-off against Scott Hend.
Baker returns to defend his title alongside many other golfing legends and Ryder Cup stars teeing it up at Apes Hill for the second consecutive year. Beyond the excitement of professional competition, the Legends Experience offers passionate amateurs the rare opportunity to tee off alongside golf’s greatest names, experiencing the thrill of tournament conditions, VIP hospitality, and exclusive behind-the-scenes access.
Later in the year, the Sportingclass Industry Invitational 2025 will feature a series of qualifying events around the UK culminating in a grand final at Apes Hill from October 13-17. Acclaimed as one of the best networking events in sport, Sportingclass delivers to an exceptional standard to guarantee guests are treated to the most indulgent, fun & productive experiences with exceptional hospitality, on and off the course, and a fantastic guest list to circulate with.
In addition to the Ron Kirby-designed championship layout, these events will also shine a spotlight on the opening of the ‘Little Apes’ course. The 9-hole par-3 course is ideal for families and those looking to sharpen their short game with a series of holes, inspired by some of the great holes around the world, ranging from 90-145 yards, offering fun and challenge to all skill levels.
