The 2025 Ontario Women’s & Women’s Senior Four-Ball Championship heads to St. Thomas Golf & Country Club on September 18, bringing top amateur talent to one of Canada’s most historic and highly ranked courses.
Located in Union, Ontario, St. Thomas G&CC has a long and distinguished history in Canadian golf. Established in 1899, it stands among Canada’s oldest golf clubs, proudly celebrating 125 years of excellence in 2024. Originally a 9-hole layout, the club relocated twice before settling into its current site in the early 1920s. There, the legendary Stanley Thompson was commissioned to design the 18-hole masterpiece that opened in 1926. In recognition of its classic design and rich legacy, St. Thomas was ranked 35th on ScoreGolf’s 2024 list of the Top 100 Courses in Canada.
The club is no stranger to high-level competition, having previously hosted the Men’s Amateur in 2018 and the Women’s Amateur in 2015. Its storied fairways will once again provide a perfect backdrop as some of Ontario’s finest amateur talent takes center stage.
The 2025 field is filled with notable competitors and returning champions:
- Ivy Steinberg and Sandy Byckowski return to defend their title in the Women’s Senior division.
- Golf Ontario Hall of Famer Mary Ann Hayward pairs with fellow club member Andrea Lai, bringing a wealth of experience to the event.
- Rising stars Riviera Lindholm — 2025 U13 Girls and Junior Girls Champion — will tee it up alongside Evelyn Li.
- The dynamic Park sisters, Nobelle (2024 Ontario Women’s Amateur Champion) and Kaprice, return as a formidable duo for Team Ontario.
- Runner-up team from 2024, Alex Taylor and Meredith Fairburn, reunite with eyes on the top spot this season.
- 2025 Ontario Women’s Public Amateur Champion, Elaine Surjoprajogo, partners with former Humber College teammate Susan Chen.
With a field rich in talent and a venue steeped in tradition, the stage is set for another great championship at St. Thomas G&CC.
