The 18-hole event around the par 72 grass-greened course tees off as a three-person ambrose from 10.30am, and is open to all. It can also be played in groups of men and women, mixed and with juniors as well.
All funds raised will support the WRHS, which attends accident sites, treats and transfers patients to hospital, and helps to find missing people. The helicopters, sponsored by the NSW Government and Westpac Banking Corporation, fly nearly 2,000 missions a year.

Guyra Bowling and Recreation Club's Betty Bourke is organising the day, and welcomes all.
"You don't have to be a member to play," Ms Bourke advised. "It is open to men and women, members or non-members. There's always good prizes, and the volunteers provide fantastic lunch."
Playing costs $25 per person, including a BBQ lunch. Booking isn't essential; players can simply turn up to play on the day.
Kim Newling, support group co-ordinator of the New England and North West division of the WRHS, is delighted and thankful for the efforts of all concerned.
"It is great to see small clubs and towns supporting the WRHS like this," Mrs Newling said.
"We want to thank the community, local businesses, and Guyra Bowling and Golf Clubs for their support. Also the local support group volunteers who work so hard for us.
"All the money raised from the golf day stays in the New England and North West, and ensures no one ever has to pay to use the service."
All enquiries to Betty Bourke at the Guyra Bowling and Recreation Club (6779 1499) or Kim Newling at the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service (0427 667 787).
