Three new venues will host stages of the European Tour Qualifying School as part of this year’s exciting schedule.

The Players Club in Bristol, England, and Bom Sucesso Resort in Portugal will host First Stage events, while Alenda Golf in Alicante, Spain, will become a Second Stage venue as all three locations join the Q-School network.

The Championship Course at The Players Club has held many professional events – primarily on the EuroPro Tour and Jamega Tour – while The Championship Course at Bom Sucesso is a European Tour Destination located around 50 minutes outside of Lisbon which boasts spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Lumine Mediterránea Beach & Golf Community, which made its bow as a Final Stage venue last year, will again host the conclusion of Qualifying School from November 10-15 after a successful first staging in 2017.
