One of the most exciting parts of Golf Canada’s calendar is when national championships pop up from coast to coast through the golf season.
Winners get to hold everything from bragging rights to history – like Nick Taylor and Brooke Henderson.
The Golf Canada championship schedule will see 37 professional and amateur championships, and qualifiers, held across eight provinces at 36 different golf courses.
In 2025, Golf Canada’s championships calendar is chalk full of exciting events at some of the most iconic courses in the country.
Plus, a few new additions as well.
“We look forward to hosting our tournaments at some incredible golf clubs across the country,” said Mary Beth McKenna, the director of amateur championships and rules at Golf Canada. “We could not be more appreciative of the support from each club’s membership and their continued interest and commitment in giving back to the amateur game.”
Here’s nine things to know about the 2025 Championships Schedule!
RBC CANADIAN OPEN DEBUTS AT TPC TORONTO
Set to be contested June 5-8, the RBC Canadian Open will be played for the first time at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley’s renovated North Course. The course will become the 38th layout in the event’s 121-year history to host Canada’s national open. The club underwent a major golf-course renovation project under the guidance of renowned architect Ian Andrew with consultation from the PGA Tour for the venue to host large-scale, global championship level competition.
“We have long envisioned that Osprey Valley would become one of Canada’s greatest golf destinations, and becoming the host venue for our country’s national championship is a tremendous component of that vision becoming a reality,” said Osprey Valley President Chris Humeniuk.
CPKC WOMEN’S OPEN RETURNS TO MISSISSAUGUA
The 51st playing of Canada’s National Open Championship returns to the Greater Toronto Area for just the third time since 2001, and in hosting the 2025 CPKC Women’s Open, Mississaugua Golf & Country Club becomes only the eighth club in history to host Golf Canada’s four premier events: the CPKC Women’s Open, RBC Canadian Open, Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship, and the Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship.
MEN’S AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP HEADS TO OTTAWA FOR A RECORD TIME
The Royal Ottawa Golf Club will make history in 2025 when the club becomes the first in history to host 10 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championships.
With support from co-host, Club de golf Rivermead, the 264-player field will be put to the test to earn the national championship title and an exemption into the 2026 RBC Canadian Open.
Royal Ottawa also hosted the 2000 CPKC Women’s Open.
WOMEN’S AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP WILL TAKE PLACE IN NEW BRUNSWICK
The 111th Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship presented by BDO heads to Riverside Country Club in New Brunswick. Established all the way back in 1897, Riverside is a design from the iconic Donald Ross and hosted the 1929 Canadian Open.
10TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE WORLD JUNIOR GIRLS
This year marks the 10th playing of the World Junior Girls Championship, set to be contested in 2025 at St. Catherines Golf & Country Club. The Republic of Korea will return to defend their title after beating Team Canada 1 via a tiebreaker last year. Emerging talent from around the world will once again compete for the team championship and, individually, for a spot in the 2026 CPKC Women’s Open.
Designed by the legendary Stanley Thompson, the club celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2024.
WOMEN’S CANADIAN COLLEGIATE INVITATIONAL ADDED
Added to the calendar for 2025 is the new Women’s Canadian Collegiate Invitational.
“The excitement is palpable this season with the addition of the new Canadian Collegiate Invitational women’s event,” McKenna said. “The invitational is being held at Beacon Hall Golf Club and will bring together 11 NCAA Division I teams and our 2025 Canadian University/College champions, as they compete for the team title and one 2026 CPKC Women’s Open exemption spot.”
This unique event merges the top collegiate talent, with several Canadians in the field and our NextGen Junior Girls Selection camp running concurrently.
The Women’s Canadian Collegiate Invitational will be the final event on the championships calendar for 2025.
The Men’s Canadian Collegiate Invitational will return to Öviinbyrd Golf Club.
JUNIOR BOYS HEAD TO NEW BRUNSWICK
Gowan Brae Golf and Country Club will host its sixth national championship with the Canadian Junior Boys Championship presented by BDO heading to New Brunswick in August. It last hosted a Golf Canada event in 2018 – the Canadian Men’s Senior Championship. The course, opened initially as just a nine-hole club in 1958 but quickly expanded to 18 holes in 1962 by legendary Canadian architect Robbie Robinson, has long been ranked as one of the best in Eastern Canada
JUNIOR GIRLS TEE IT UP IN QUEBEC
The Canadian Junior Girls Championship presented by BDO heads to the Club de golf Sainte-Marie in mid-August. The club, which opened in 1962, is just outside of Quebec City. The club hosted the Canadian Junior Boys Championship all the way back in 1982.
EASTERN CANADA WITH A BIG SPOTLIGHT IN 2025
Quebec and the Maritimes have prominent hosting duties for Golf Canada National Championships in 2025 with six of the events this year (Women’s Amateur, Men’s Amateur, Women’s Mid-Amateur, Junior Boys, Junior Girls, and Canadian Men’s Senior) being hosted at clubs in the eastern part of the country.
