A championship more than a century old will be hosted by the Victoria Golf Club next summer. The 120th B.C. Women’s Amateur, Mid-Amateur, and Mid-Master Championship will be held June 23-26, 2025.
The provincial championship for the three classes will feature 54 holes of stroke play with a field of up to 75 players. The top finishers in the provincials will advance to the 2025 women’s Canadian Amateur and Mid-Amateur championships at Riverside Country Club in Saint John, N.B.
It marks the first time the B.C. Women’s Amateur will be hosted by Victoria Golf Club since 2005. Other recent events hosted by Victoria Club, established in 1893, include the PGA of B.C. Women’s Championship last year, the regional qualifier for the U.S. Women’s Amateur in 2021 and the Men’s Canadian Mid-Amateur in 2018.
“We have a proud history of hosting provincial and national championships and are very excited to once again be able to showcase our club and to see the best players from across our province play our course,” Victoria Golf Club lead professional Lindsay Bernakevitch said in a statement.
“Our course is a very strategic course.”
The B.C. Women’s Amateur Championship was last hosted on the Island in 2023 at Arbutus Ridge with Chelsea Truong of Victoria, now an NCAA Div. 1 sophomore with the University of New Mexico Lobos, the winner.
Amy Seung Hyun Lee of Langley, 16, won this year’s 119th B.C. Women’s Amateur at the Balfour Course in Nelson to advance to the 2024 Canadian women’s Amateur championship that was hosted by Royal Colwood over the summer.
