WELCOME TO
AVGU NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP 2024
Murray River Golf courses over three of Australia’s states come with a
wonderful reputation, and you will not be disappointed with the three exceptional Riverland courses chosen for this event. The Riverland area is situated close to the SA – VIC border in the east of South Australia and is on the major road route between Adelaide and Sydney being the Sturt Highway.
You are invited to come on a road trip to enjoy a week of golf and enjoy the pleasures that the region will offer you. The region portrays the Murray River at its best with smooth waters and unbelievable scenery, where you will see wonderful aquatic birdlife and wildlife reinvigorated by the recent high river levels. Houseboats and water sports are popular in the region with opportunities to cruise, paddle or sail the waters of the Murray, tributaries, and backwaters. The river brings life to a very fertile agricultural region which has the reputation of being Australia’s largest wine production area and the fruit and nut bowl of South Australia. The region is home to many national wine producers as well as boutique wineries, distilleries, and breweries. So, come and partake some of the best wines, food and produce in Australia.
The 2024 Australian Veteran Golfing Championship will be managed by Veterans Golf South Australia in conjunction with the Riverland Veterans Golf Association.
Your AVGU Championship 2024 Event Committee now advises that the Event has reached capacity and that entries are now closed. Late entries may now only be accepted at the discretion of the event committee. See the contact page on this website.
