Got questions?

It's simple – this summer you'll play 72 or 100 holes of golf to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

The team captain signs up first, if this is you, then your next step is to invite three other team members via a social link (email, Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp). If you have been invited by your team captain just follow the link to register and join the team. We'll keep in touch with everyone via email.

No, it's absolutely free to register. We just ask you raise as much as you can to help people living with cancer.

Scoring is the best two Stableford scores in the team per hole, with full handicap allowance. Active and inactive handicaps will be accepted.

Anyone who can play golf. You don't need to have an official handicap to join in. Simply gather your team of four.

Under 18s must have at least one parent or guardian in the same team in order to undertake the challenge. Please note that your team will not be eligible for entry into the prize competition to attend the Finals weekend at Boavista Golf Resort in Portugal if any team member is under 18 years old, even if they are accompanied. Please also note, the Competition prize may be subject to change. Terms and conditions apply.

There's no minimum number of team members. More than four team members are welcome to play but only four members (including the captain) can be registered on the website. The Finals competition is only open to teams of a maximum of four people. Terms and conditions apply.

You need to book directly with the club. There are some brilliant ways you can get them on board like offering to host a gathering at the clubhouse after the game and giving them a poster to put up on your behalf. Visit the Location page for more tips and a course finder for your area.

Yes, of course you can. It is up to you how hard you make your challenge, but it might slow down your progress; daylight is key here so as long as you've still got plenty, you're good to go.

To save time you should play off the forward tees.

You can play your Longest Day Golf Challenge in whatever way suits you. Using golf buggies does not affect your eligibility for the Finals competition.

We'd be very honoured! You can check out our Macmillan merchandise from the Macmillan online shop.

While playing on or close to the longest day will give you the most daylight hours, you can play on any date this summer that is suitable for you and your team.

Please make sure all your fundraising is in by 12 September 2025 to be in with a chance of winning a place at the Finals. Terms and conditions apply.

The Finals trip to Portugal is scheduled for the 6-9 November 2025 at Boavista Golf Resort & Spa. More details can be found in our terms and conditions.

The four teams (over 18s only, maximum four persons per team) who have raised the most money by 12 September 2025 will win a place at the Finals, subject to qualifying terms and conditions. Teams with more than four team members will not be eligible for the competition.

All the funds raised, whether that's online or offline, will be factored into teams' totals. To be counted, all funds must have been received by Macmillan by 12 September 2025.

Yes, once you've registered, we'll send you a fundraising pack. Your pack will contain everything you need for the challenge, but for now, you can download sponsorship forms from this website. Please allow a few weeks from registering for your pack to be mailed to you.
