“We have a strong field of Canadian and international talents ready to compete for our prestigious national championship. We are proud and excited to begin play at the 2025 Canadian Junior Girls Championship, presented by BDO at the beautiful Club de Golf Sainte-Marie,” said Golf Canada Tournament Director Connor Doyle. “We would like to thank the incredible staff and volunteers for all the work in the lead up to ensure those competing this week are treated to a memorable experience.

Founded in 1962, the Sainte-Marie Golf Club is set in a stunning landscape with mature trees and views of the Beauce Valley; the Sainte-Marie Golf Club offers greens and fairways of unmatched quality. Thanks to the partnership of two visionary businessmen, Mr. Benoît Vachon and Mr. Roland Lacroix, land located on Rang St-Étienne in Sainte-Marie caught their attention due to its proximity, terrain, and vegetation. Together, Mr. Vachon and Mr. Lacroix fully committed to realizing this great dream, investing their time and generously contributing significant financial support. From 1968 to 1969, under the supervision of architect Howard Watson, a series of major works were carried out to expand and improve the original nine-hole course.

The Canadian Junior Girls Championship has a long list of distinguished past champions that have etched their name on the Brokenshire Trophy. Past champions include, Canadian Golf Hall of Famers Sandra Post (1964-66), Betty Stanhope (1956), Judy Darling (1957), Gail Harvey Moore (1958-1960) and Gayle Borthwick (1961). In addition, LPGA Tour players, Alena Sharp (1999), Brooke Henderson (2012) and Maddie Szeryk (2013). Stollery Family Team Canada Women’s Head Coach Salimah Mussani (1996) is also a past Canadian Junior Champion.

The 2025 Canadian Junior Girls champion will receive an exemption into the 2026 Canadian Women’s Amateur Championship and the 2026 Canadian Junior Girls Championship and 2026 U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship, if eligible.

“We have a competitive and proven field teeing off at our Canadian Junior Boys Championship this week,” commented Sam Brown, Tournament Director, Golf Canada. “Gowan Brae Golf & Country Club is a premier golf facility on our country’s east coast and will offer a unique challenge to Canada’s best young talent. This opportunity is made possible through the skilled staff and volunteers working the event and we are excited for play to get underway.”   

Located on the shores of New Brunswick’s Bathurst Harbour, Gowan Brae Golf & Country Club parlays picturesque views with a stiff challenge for golfers of every level. The surrounding water and windy conditions that Gowan Brae Golf & Country Club is known for can be spotted and experienced on 14 different holes throughout the golf course, maintaining the natural test envisioned by renowned Canadian architect C.E (Robbie) Robinson when he designed the property in 1958. 

Coupled with slick greens and breezy weather, the 6,700-yard property was considered to be one of the most demanding courses in Atlantic Canada following its 18-hole completion in 1962. The 243-yard par-three 17th into prevailing winds and 447-yard par-four 13th featuring sloping fairways in addition to a three-tiered green are among the most vigorous tests one will find on the property and help differentiate Gowan Brae Golf & Country Club in Canada’s modern golf landscape.  

Since 1938, the Canadian Junior Boys Championship has brought together the top junior talent in the country for four rounds of entertaining competition. Those to have previously claimed the Silver Cup have gone on to serve memorable careers in the game of golf, including Canadian Golf Hall of Famers Doug Silverberg (1950), George Knudson (1955), Gary Cowan (1956) and Doug Roxburgh (1970), as well as current PGA TOUR stars Nick Taylor and Adam Svensson who each won the tournament in 2006 and 2012 respectively.  

Both Junior and Juvenile championship rounds are played concurrently over 72 holes and are open male amateur golfers that have not reached their 19th and 17th birthday respectively by August 1st. All competing players, no matter their division, must have their Handicap Index below 10 to be eligible to compete in the tournament.
