About This Event

The North Carolina Junior Girls' Championship, now in its 30th year, is the Carolinas Golf Association's premier stroke play championship for competitive junior girls in the Carolinas region. A top finish here establishes a player's standing among the best junior girls in North Carolina and South Carolina and carries real weight on a college recruiting profile. Winning a state-level CGA title is a career milestone that signals readiness for the next level of competition.

What Advancing Means

Capturing the North Carolina Junior Girls' title earns a player the official CGA state championship designation, a credential that college coaches in the ACC, SEC, and beyond recognize as a meaningful competitive benchmark. While this event does not offer USGA exemptions, the state title and CGA ranking points contribute directly to a junior's regional competitive résumé.

Coach's Take

This is one of the most important events on the Carolina junior girls' calendar — if your daughter is serious about playing college golf in this region, she needs to be competing here and building her CGA ranking over multiple years.

About State Golf

State Golf offers competitive junior golf events. Check their tour page for full schedule and eligibility details.

Scheduled in late June, this championship lands at the heart of the summer junior season, after many AJGA invitationals have begun but before the USGA Junior Girls' Championship concludes — making it an ideal proving ground and confidence builder at a critical point in the recruiting calendar. Unlike AJGA events, this is a state association championship, so it carries a different kind of credibility: it is the definitive ranking event for junior girls within the CGA footprint.
