MISSISSAUGA, Ont. – Golf Canada is excited to announce that The Toronto Golf Club in Mississauga, Ont. will host the 112th playing of the Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship, presented by BDO set to take place July 20-24, 2026.
Amateur Championship golf returns to The Toronto Golf Club for the first time since 2017. That year, The Toronto Golf Club matched the record for hosting the most Canadian Men’s Amateur Championships, previously set by the Royal Ottawa Golf Club in Gatineau, Que. a year prior.
“Golf Canada is very proud and grateful to be returning to the historic The Toronto Golf Club for the 112th playing of our Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship next summer,” said Mary Beth McKenna, Director, Amateur Championships and Rules, Golf Canada. “The Toronto Golf Club has hosted numerous professional and amateur championships over its storied history. We appreciate the club’s continued commitment to hosting amateur golf and we look forward to welcoming a field of elite amateur talent to one of the most prestigious golf courses in the country.”
Notably, it will be the first time since 1947 that the course will host the nation’s Women’s Amateur Championship – formerly the Canadian Ladies’ Golf Association Championship – and the eighth in its illustrious history. The Toronto Golf Club has also opened its doors to 11 Canadian Women’s Senior Golf Association Championships, two Canadian Professional Golfers’ Association Championships and five RBC Canadian Open’s between 1905 and 1927.
“As one of the natural homes of golf in Canada, we are delighted to have the Canadian Women’s Amateur at The Toronto Golf Club next July,” said Hugh Christie, President, The Toronto Golf Club. “Our commitment to golf in Canada is steadfast and longstanding. We look forward to the tournament.”
Founded in 1876, The Toronto Golf Club is the third-oldest golf club in North America and currently located on the banks of the Etobicoke Creek. In 1911, the club commissioned renowned golf architect Harry Colt to design the current 18-hole course and in recent years, has brought back Colt’s heathland design to continue to cement itself as a Canadian masterpiece.
Renowned for its demanding layout and natural surroundings, The Toronto Golf Club offers a historic, memorable and challenging experience for players to uphold its place as Canada’s first-ever championship course. The club will be celebrating its sesquicentennial anniversary in 2026 and 113th year in Mississauga, Ont. while adding another prestigious national championship to its acclaimed history.
Having debuted in 1901 at the Royal Montreal Golf Club in Montreal, Que., the Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship stands as one of the oldest amateur golf events in the world. Current LPGA Tour stars Ariya Jutanugarn (2012), Brooke Henderson (2013), Hye-Jin Choi (2016), Jennifer Kupcho (2017), and Yealimi Noh (2018) have all lifted the Duchess of Connaught Gold Cup – the trophy presented annually to the Women’s Amateur champion – though none have matched Marlene Stewart Streit’s 11 victories that helped her become the first-ever Canadian inducted in the World Golf Hall of Fame.
The 111th playing of the Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship, will take place July 21 – 25 at The Riverside Country Club in Saint John, N.B.
