The Men’s and Women’s Champions of the 2026 Portsea Open Amateur.

After playing in the final group in 2025 and coming up just short, Edward Sargeant returned to Portsea in 2026 and played scintillating golf across the three days, including a course-record 9-under 62.

67, 62, 73, 69 (-13)

Returning as defending champion, Feiyu Xing yet again outclassed the field with her consistency to go back-to-back as the Women’s Portsea Open Amateur Champion.

70, 71, 70, 70 (-7)

Spring Valley’s greatest strength lies in its routing’s ability to keep golfers engaged with a relentless run of high-quality golf. Holes are routed in a number of triangular loops, keeping the golfer constantly off balance as they switch directions, whilst swathes of short grass connect greens with tees making for a seamless stroll.

There is an admirable simplicity to its strategy as it tests with an assortment of doglegs whereby golfers prepared to take on the fairway bunkers find themselves rewarded with a clean angle of approach, whilst those who bail out face an approach contested by greenside bunkers and slippery run-offs. Though simple in theory, when paired with firm and fast conditions, Spring Valley’s strategic consistency and variety of questions posed from tee to green spawns a very strong spread of two-shot holes. Thoughtful and considered golf is rightfully rewarded, but the carrot for the daring is always dangled near a looming hazard.

COURSE REVIEW: Quietly elite on Australian golf’s most famous strip, Spring Valley Golf Club is stepping from the Sandbelt shadows, pairing pedigree design with pristine presentation as a bold, multi-stage renovation aims to sharpen its standing.

⛳️ Hole-In-One Alert! ⛳️

Congratulations to Peter Schonewill on an incredible achievement this morning, scoring a spectacular hole-in-one on the 3rd hole! 👏

Stepping up to the tee with confidence, Peter produced a shot to remember, striking his 5 hybrid perfectly and watching it roll straight into the cup. 🎯

A fantastic effort and a special highlight for everyone at the club today. Well done, Peter! 🍾🏌️

First frost of the year. ❄️⛳
A crisp autumn morning has transformed the course into a white blanket of frost, one of those rare scenes that reminds us just how special early mornings at Spring Valley can be.

Despite Spring Valley’s persistent quality of par fours, its diverse set of one-shotters will likely live longest in the memory of the travelling golfer. Spread evenly throughout the layout, each of the quartet asks for completely different shots.

Whilst the cute but nasty tenth and its postage stamp green will steal the headlines, the uphill fifth commanding a sweeping draw and long fourteenth which begs for a ball on the ground make an excellent pair of running mates.

What a fantastic day at Spring Valley Golf Club for the 2026 Women’s Challenge Bowl! ☀️⛳
