The National Golf Club Challenge - now in its sixth year - is the UK's largest charity golf competition.
Clubs stage events in May, June and July 2015.
The top-performing clubs will take part in regional qualifiers and be in with a chance of making the National Final at Turnberry.
There is no registration fee - the only requirement is that participants do their best to raise as much money as possible for Help for Heroes.
Lee Westwood and Sam Torrance are among the event patrons.
"Together we have the chance to change the lives of those who have sacrificed and endured so much so we might live fill and free lives," said Westwood.
