Early Bird registration is now open for the 2026 Skyline Charity Golf Classic, to be played at Queenstown Golf Club on 28 & 29 November.
For nearly 50 years, the Skyline Golf Classic has brought golfers together in Queenstown. Since adopting its charity format in 2023, the event has raised more than $100,000 for our community — and this year, we want to reach even higher.
Our 2026 beneficiary is Branches Charitable Trust, helping ensure the much-loved Branches Camp remains accessible and affordable for young people across the Whakatipu Basin.
As Branches Charitable Trust Chair Carlyn Bell explains:
"As student numbers continue to grow, support like this has never been more important. The support received through the Charity Golf Classic makes a meaningful difference, helping us keep camp affordable for local families."
Every dollar raised through our Charity Raffle, together with the net proceeds from tournament entries, will go directly to Branches Charitable Trust.
But it's also going to be a great weekend of golf...
The Skyline Charity Golf Classic has always been about bringing people together, and 2026 will be no exception.
Expect two days of great competition, plenty of prizes, meals on Saturday and Sunday, and a fantastic social weekend — culminating in our huge Charity Raffle draw on Sunday night (note: raffle tickets will be sold separately online in October subject to licencing approval and are an additional cost).
And this year's raffle prize line-up is shaping up to be something special.
Raffle winners could find themselves heading to Singapore, playing at Te Arai, enjoying a Skyline Rotorua getaway, dining at Michelin-starred restaurants, and much more.
It's going to be a Sunday night worth staying around for!
