Classic De Joyenval

Australian amateur golf tournaments, including national and state championships, are typically administered by local golf associations such as Golf Australia and respective state bodies. Events commonly feature formats of either stroke play or a combination of two rounds of stroke play followed by match play. For example, the Amateur Championships of WA in 2025 are held at Sun City Country Club, with two rounds of stroke play followed by match play for the main amateur field, and two rounds of stroke play for the mid-amateur division. Entry is usually open to amateur golfers who meet handicap requirements (for WA: men maximum 6.0, women maximum 13.0) and qualification may involve state or national ranking, direct registration, or progressing through earlier qualifying stages. Typical field sizes range from 70 to 156 players, and competitors qualify by meeting handicap criteria and, in some cases, by invitation or performance in other state and regional events
