About This Event
The Maryland Girls' Junior Amateur Championship is the premier state-level stroke play championship for competitive female junior golfers in Maryland and DC, hosted by the Maryland State Golf Association. Now in its 52nd year, this event carries real weight on a junior's resume as a recognized state title. A strong finish here signals readiness for regional and national competition, and a win earns direct entry into a USGA championship.
What Advancing Means
Winning the 52nd Maryland Girls' Junior Amateur earns an exemption directly into the US Girls' Junior Amateur Championship, to be held at Old Chatham GC in Durham, NC — a USGA national championship that draws college coaches and scouts from programs across the country.
Coach's Take
This is a state title with a direct USGA exemption attached — for any serious junior in Maryland or DC, it belongs on the schedule.
