Carnival Outline
The Carnival offers a total of ten rounds of golf over 15 days played on five Wide Bay courses in late August early September each year. All ten rounds are played as individual events. Players may enter in either the Carnival (seven rounds or more) or play a lesser number of rounds as a Non Carnival player.
Eligibility
To participate in the Carnival and to be eligible for Carnival prizes a player must complete a minimum of seven rounds of golf at four different courses and pay each round fee ($30) and the Carnival fee of $50.
Non Carnival Players
Alternatively players may nominate for individual events in which case they will pay only the round fee for that event and not the Carnival fee. They will not be eligible for Carnival prizes but will be eligible for prizes given by clubs for that day’s event. Players may enter individual events by using the Spring Carnival Entry Form.
Local Players
After the Carnival Closing Date participating clubs may fill any remaining vacancies in their fields with local players. Clubs will provide a separate Entry Form for these players.
Please read the Conditions of Play before lodging your entry.
The Draw
The Draw for each round will be published on this website and on the relevant club websites not less than one week before the round. The club websites are detailed below.
