Call for Greenkeeper Volunteers - Royal Auckland and Grange Golf Club

Royal Auckland and Grange Golf Club – ISPS Handa Japan Australasia Championship, March 5–8, 2026

Royal Auckland and Grange Golf Club is seeking greenkeeper volunteers to assist in the lead-up to and during the ISPS Handa Japanese Australasian Championship, held March 5–8, 2026. Volunteers are ideally available from Monday 2 or Tuesday 3 March.

This inaugural event marks the first major professional tournament hosted by RAGGC and the first men’s tournament of this scale in Auckland in 20 years. The championship is co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour of Australasia and the Japan Golf Tour Organization, follows the NZ Open, and offers AU$1.2M in prize money, making it the fourth-largest event on the PGATA calendar and the second-largest in New Zealand.

Hosting this event continues the proud legacy of Royal Auckland and The Grange, whose predecessor clubs have hosted a combined 13 NZ Opens since 1909.
