• Each team is responsible for recording their gross score on a hole on a single scorecard. The system will calculate the net scores at the scoring table.
• Maximum handicap per player is 20.0 at time of draw
• We will also take 85% of the handicaps as recommended by Golf Canada as an allowance in a Four-Ball Stableford Competition.

Gross Division

• The form of play where sides of two partners compete, with each player playing his ball.
• A side’s score for a hole is the lower gross score of the two partners on that hole.
• Maximum handicap index per player is 9.9 at time of draw

“We are thrilled to welcome a strong field with several past champions to compete for our Canadian Women’s Senior Championship title this week at Nanaimo Golf Club,” said Golf Canada Tournament Director, Madeline MacMillan. “We’d like to sincerely thank the course staff and volunteers for their warm hospitality in the buildup to this national championship and we can’t wait to get action started this week.”

The Canadian Women’s Senior Championship features a pair of competitive divisions, the Senior division and the Super Senior division that run concurrently throughout the competition’s 54 holes. Female with a handicap index of 16.4 or less are eligible to compete in the 2026 Canadian Women’s Senior Championship

An Inter-Provincial Team competition is held throughout the event’s first 36 holes as players accumulate scores for their province over the course of their opening two rounds. Each day, the two lowest scores of the three players representing each province will count towards the team’s total score, with Team British Columbia leading that charge in 2024 to claim their second Katherine Helleur Trophy in the last three years. The province will look to add another title this week when they tee off in front of a home crowd at Nanaimo Golf Club.

Opening in 1962 with 14 of their 18 holes ready for action, Nanaimo Golf Club has since become one of the finest courses on Vancouver Island through its championship-caliber test and year-round accessibility. Designed by revered course architect A.V Macan, Nanaimo Golf Club features superior putting greens and exceptional course conditioning that continues to stand as a true reflection of the vision set out by the well-known Pacific Northwest designer from the early 1950’s. 

The course has undergone several major renovations over the years, to maintain the excellence that Nanaimo Golf Club is known for and as of 2025, features a covered driving range, two putting greens and a 12-year-old clubhouse that offers a picturesque view of the Strait of Georgia.

Conducted since 1971, the Canadian Women’s Senior Championship has featured many of the country’s top senior golfers. Canadian Golf Hall of Fame members Marlene Streit, Gayle Borthwick, Marilyn O’Connor and Margaret Todd all own senior championship titles.

The event’s historic past is paired with a notable list of exemptions awarded to the winner of the Canadian Women’s Senior Championship, including a spot in the field at the 2025 U.S. Senior Women’s Amateur Championship set for September 13-18 at the Cascades Course at Omni Homestead Resort. Additionally, a spot in the 2026 U.S. Senior Women’s Open, 2026 Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship, 2026 Canadian Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship and 2026 Canadian Women’s Senior Championship will be claimed by the winner. This week’s champion will also earn a 10-year exemption into the Canadian Women’s Senior Championship and can compete in the competition if eligible.

Charmaine Hayden (Breezy Bend Country Club) is one phone call away from competing in the 2025 U.S. Women’s Mid-Amateur Championship.
