British Open Championship at St. Andrews

Red Squirrel Events is providing official on site corporate hospitality at the 2010 British Open Championship which takes place at St. Andrews between Thursday 15th and Sunday 18th July.

Every Open Championship at St Andrews is special but with the 150th anniversary of this great event being celebrated in 2010, you won't want to miss what is set to be one of the most important occasions in sporting history. Be there and make memories for a lifetime.

Make this a truly unforgettable occasion with a variety of packages to suit you and your guests' needs - giving you the perfect opportunity to spend all day with your guests and clients.

The Red Squirrel Events Open Golf corporate hospitality is official and on site.* Please be aware that a number of hospitality companies are purporting to offer the same at a lower cost but have a track record of misleading clients in terms of the location and status of their facilities. It is important to note that entrance tickets to The Open Championship will not permit re-admission so if you are accommodated outside of the official paygates, you will not be able to move freely between your hospitality facility and the golf course. If you have any doubt, we would be happy to discuss this with you.
