With an exciting year ahead, the schedule highlights a mix of renowned and new venues, spanning the province to provide a platform for Ontario’s top talent to shine.
“We’re thrilled to present one of the most dynamic and inclusive championship schedules in amateur golf, designed to cater to Ontario’s competitive golfers while partnering with some of the province’s most prestigious golf clubs,” said Golf Ontario Director of Competitions and Performance, John Lawrence. “The 2025 venues promise an exciting season, bringing the spirit of competition to communities across Ontario. We extend our sincere gratitude to the clubs that have graciously agreed to host our events.
Highlights and Important Notes for the 2025 Championship Schedule:
- Golf Ontario’s championships remain true to their core mission, but their names have been updated to ensure consistency across events and alignment with the standards set by golf’s governing bodies. These updates enhance clarity and continuity, making it easier for players, partners, and media to engage while preserving the rich traditions of the sport.
- The 2025 Championship season will officially begin on March 10-11 with the highly anticipated return of the Ontario Junior Players Invitational at Legends Golf Resort – Parkland Course in Myrtle Beach, S.C. This 54-hole competition will once again grow its field, welcoming 84 of Ontario’s top junior boys and girls.
- The Ontario Champion of Champions tournament will return to The Club at Bond Head on May 14th, utilizing both the North and South courses. This prestigious event is open to Men’s, Women’s, Senior Men’s, Senior Women’s, and Junior Boys’ & Girls’ club champions from the 2024 season. Clubs are encouraged to submit their champions to Golf Ontario to facilitate registration and approval for the event.
- The 2025 Ontario Junior Boys’ & Girls’ Spring Classic marks its 30th anniversary as one of the province’s most esteemed junior tournaments. Consistently drawing Ontario’s top young golfers, the milestone event will take place at two exceptional courses—Wooden Sticks Golf Club and FireRock Golf Club. This tournament continues to serve as a proving ground for rising stars, offering a world-class stage to showcase their talent and a critical step in their competitive golf journey.
- New for 2025, the Ontario Women’s Match Play Championship will debut the Senior Women’s Match Play Championship, open to players aged 50 and older. Featuring a shorter yardage setup, this new division provides a competitive yet accessible environment for senior golfers. Qualifying rounds will determine the top eight players who will advance to match play, expanding inclusivity and creating more opportunities for senior women to compete.
- The 2025 Ontario Men’s Senior Amateur Championship introduces expanded qualifying for the 70-and-older division, with separate east and west qualifiers offering more entry opportunities. This enhancement eliminates the need for a practice-round qualifier, with 70-and-older spots determined through the two regional qualifiers.
Golf Ontario extends its deepest gratitude to the clubs hosting our championships and qualifiers in 2025. Their unwavering support is instrumental in the continued success of amateur golf in Ontario. We greatly value these partnerships and look forward to another exceptional championship season.
