Golf Manitoba, in association with St. Charles Country Club, is pleased to announce the 2026 Diamond Athletic Women’s Amateur Championship will be held Sunday, July 5th and Monday, July 6th.

“Due to the unfortunate circumstances at Gilbert Plains Country Club this week, we were forced to pivot and are grateful to the members of St. Charles for their support in hosting the event” said Golf Manitoba Executive Director Jared Ladobruk. “With the Canadian Women’s Championship starting July 21st, it was imperative to play our Women’s Amateur as soon as possible.”

Details on the Diamond Athletic Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship will be announced when they are finalized.

Due to severe rainfall, widespread overland flooding and the forecast for additional significant precipitation, Golf Manitoba made the decision to cancel the 2026 Diamond Athletic Men’s Mid-Amateur and Women’s Amateur Championship at Gilbert Plains Country Club scheduled for Wednesday, July 1st to Friday, July 3rd.

Several roads between Neepawa and Gilbert Plains have been impacted by flooding, and the Rural Municipality of Gilbert Plains has declared a State of Emergency. After carefully considering the safety of our players, volunteers, and staff, we have determined that cancellation is the only responsible course of action.

Information regarding next steps, including any decisions and potential rescheduling of the championships, will be communicated as soon as they are finalized.

We would also like to thank the staff, board directors, and volunteers at Gilbert Plains Country Club for their dedication and hard work in preparing the course to host these provincial championships.
