About This Event
The NCGA Girls' Junior Championship is Northern California's top stroke-play title for competitive female junior golfers, held July 6–7, 2026 at Lake Merced Golf Club in Daly City. It draws the strongest NCGA-member juniors in the region and serves as a meaningful benchmark for players measuring their game against the best in Northern California. A strong finish here signals readiness for national-level competition and carries real weight on a junior's competitive résumé.
What Advancing Means
Winning the NCGA Girls' Junior Championship earns an automatic exemption into the US Girls' Junior Amateur at Old Chatham GC in Durham, NC — a USGA national championship that carries significant college recruiting visibility and is one of the most competitive junior events in the country.
Coach's Take
If your daughter has the index and the NCGA membership, this is a must-play — the US Girls' Junior exemption alone makes it one of the highest-value events on the Northern California junior calendar.
