Golf is open to all
The Women's Amateur Championship is one of the leading championships in amateur golf for female golfers.
The championship, founded in 1893, attracts an international field with an impressive list of former winners including McCormack Medal winner Leona Maguire and major champions Georgia Hall and Anna Nordqvist.
