Just on the hotel, Hilton are saying whilst the price is low now it will sky rocket closer to the event (same for other hotels in the area - this location is apparently a base for some football teams!).

Would it be possible to come just the Saturday, and play in qualifiers for the open, and classics II ?
Or is it full weekend only
