Raise’25 Golf Day
The Raise’25 Golf Cup will take place on Frilford Heath’s Red Course on Monday 15th September with up to £10,000 being raised for the ten Raise’25 charities. The inaugural event will also see teams compete for the Colin Rosser Memorial Cup. This is a charity event open to all.
This event is strictly limited to 20 Teams & guests (each team 4 people).
Oxfordshire’s leading golf club, Frilford Heath, has ‘donated’ their Championship Red Course to raise funds for the ten beneficiary charities of Raise’25 (Raise’24 raised £36,100). The winning team will be presented with the inaugural Colin Rosser Memorial Cup in what will be a fitting tribute to a great man who loved his golf, particularly at Frilford Heath where he was a member.
Frilford’s Managing Director, Russell Stebbings, commented. “We are really looking forward to hosting Members of the B4 and wider Oxfordshire business communities to what will be a fantastic day of golf and fundraising for some superb charities. Raise’24 really captured the imagination of the business community and when we first heard about Raise, we knew we wanted to be involved, but started thinking outside of the box as to how we could raise funds. We thought we could fully open one of our Championship golf courses for the 10 charities for a unique Golf Day, so that’s what we’re going to do on 15th September and everyone is welcome. I was personally very sad to hear, as were many, that we had lost Colin last April so it’s the perfect opportunity to remember his life and award the winning team with a trophy in his name.”
It’s such a generous offer to have access to the Red Course at Frilford for the day, but that’s what the team at Frilford are doing. Each of the beneficiary charities will be able to ‘sell’ two teams at £700+VAT with £500 per team going into the Raise’25 fund*, so that’s a whopping £10,000 target for the day.
*Funds raised will be held by Oxfordshire Community Foundation (OCF), CIO no 1151621, in a dedicated B4 Raise Fund, which will allow Gift Aid to be added where relevant. OCF will then distribute funds to the beneficiary charities as grants in 2026.
ABOUT THE RED COURSE
Laid out in 1908 by five-time Open champion J.H. Taylor — whose design expertise also shaped legendary courses like Royal Dornoch and Royal Birkdale — the Red Course is a gem celebrating traditional heathland golf in the club’s 440-acre estate. The Red Course has long been a stage for competition golf as well as Raise’25. The course has hosted everything from elite amateur tournaments to professional tours and we are very proud to be regular hosts of regional qualifying for the Open. In 2022, it reached a new pinnacle by welcoming the English Trophy as part of the European Challenge Tour, the largest event in its 116-year history. With its rolling fairways, elevated greens, and thoughtfully designed layout, the Red Course invites golfers of all levels to enjoy a rewarding challenge, combining precision with strategy for an unforgettable round.
