THE WORLD'S BIGGEST LONG DRIVE CHAMPIONSHIP

Blending competition and spectacle, the Endless Summer Championship brings long-drive energy to the Bay of Quinte.

As summer takes hold in late June, Trillium Wood shifts into something even more electric. The Endless Summer Long Drive Championship brings an extra surge of energy to the course, where distance—not score—defines the moment.

Endless Summer has quickly turned into one of the most exciting sporting events in Ontario—and honestly, it’s not your typical golf tournament. Held at Trillium Wood Golf Club in Belleville, this thing is all about big energy. We’re talking 400+ yard bombs, music pumping, crowds right on top of the action, and a true stadium feel. It’s golf, but reimagined. If you’ve never experienced long drive in person, this will completely change how you look at the game.

What’s been really special is the growth. This started as a smaller pro-am concept and has now evolved into what many are calling the biggest long drive event in the world. We’re now welcoming over 1,500 spectators across two days, close to 300 golfers in our pro-ams, and more than 60 of the top male and female long drive athletes on the planet. Every year we’ve raised the bar, bigger stage, better production, more buzz, and 2026 is shaping up to be our biggest yet.

The reach of this event is something we’re incredibly proud of. Belleville becomes the stage for a truly international competition, with hitters coming in from Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Australia, Germany, New Zealand, Japan, and growing into new markets like Asia. It’s the best in the world competing right here in our backyard, and it’s putting the Quinte Region on the map in a big way.
 
One of the most exciting additions this year is the expansion of the Canadian Armed Forces Military Long Drive Championship. What started as a strong partnership with 8 Wing Trenton has now grown into a national military competition, with qualifiers happening across the country leading into our event. It’s a powerful piece of Endless Summer, bringing competition, pride, and community together in a way that really means something.
 
At the end of the day, Endless Summer is about creating something people feel. It’s the energy, the crowd, the sound, the moments. It’s world-class competition mixed with a vibe you just don’t get anywhere else in golf. Whether you’re a hardcore golf fan or just looking for something fun to be part of, this is one you don’t want to miss.
