Marrum Cup

Entries are now open for the 2023 Marrum Cup week events and can be viewed by clicking here.

Other information about the week can be viewed below.

One of Victoria’s most historic team competitions for women, ‘The Marrum Cup’ has been in existence for almost a century.

It takes place annually at The Barwon Heads Golf Club in early May and since 1925 has attracted generations of women, including the finest golfers from clubs across Victoria and as far afield as the Royals of Adelaide, Canberra, Queensland and Sydney and Lake Karrinyup in the West.

The trophy was first presented by Mrs. Lennox Speirs in 1925 and named after the Marram Grass (Ammophila arenaria) that grows along the dunes and sandy beaches adjacent to the course along the Surf Coast. It was misspelt by mistake but Marrum it has become.

What began in 1925 as a one-day competition now comprises of four days of individual and team events with up to 160 golfers taking part. The Club is extremely proud to hold an historic Victorian event that is a celebration of Australian women’s amateur golf.
