Knightsbrook Golf Club was host to the 2011 PING Junior Solheim Cup.

Knightsbrook were very proud to host this tremendously successful event, with the United States retaining the PING Junior Solheim Cup in dramatic circumstances when they came from behind to earn a 12-12 draw against Europe in an intense match which was not settled until the last putt dropped.
