Legends Golf Day 2025

2025 Aussie Legends Golf Classic

We are excited to announce Aussie Legends Golf Classic inclusion in the Gold Coast Festival of Golf at Sanctuary Cove. Headlined by the Australian WPGA Championship, the Festival will also feature a Golf & Lifestyle Expo, Golf Simulators, Food & Beverage + Entertainment Zones, Street Performers and activations immersing a wide audience in a festival atmosphere while enhancing Aussie Athlete Fund's exposure and fundraising! 

Proudly hosted at the prestigious Pines Golf Course, Sanctuary Cove on
Monday 10th March, 2025 in support of Aussie Athlete Fund!  

Aussie Athlete Fund is a growing movement providing funding and support to grass roots athletes on a pathway to the podium. Far too much Aussie talent is left on the sidelines because they don’t have the resources and financial support to realize their potential. Aussie Athlete Fund are here to help athletes on their journey turning green into gold!
