The Rose Series, a series of single-day stroke play events culminating in the Rose Ladies Open, was begun in 2020 at the height of the pandemic by Justin Rose and his wife Kate Rose in order to grow the women’s game. It returns to Brocket Hall’s par-72 Melbourne Course, which was designed by former Ryder Cup golfers Peter Alliss and Clive Clark. Family activities are also planned, including garden games, face painting, and fun food stations.
