Ontario Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship Heads to Sarnia

Ontario’s Top Mid-Amateurs Set to Compete at Sarnia Golf & Curling Club

June 16–18 | Sarnia, ON

The 2025 Ontario Men’s Mid-Amateur Championship will take place June 16–18 at Sarnia Golf & Curling Club, bringing together many of the province’s top amateur golfers aged 25 and older. Over three days and 54 holes of stroke play, competitors will navigate a challenging layout. 

“We’re excited to be back at Sarnia Golf & Curling Club, an established Stanley Thompson design with a deep golf history,” says John Lawrence, Tournament Director at Golf Ontario. “The course always provides a true championship test.”

Past Champions 

This year’s field features a strong mix of past champions and rising talent.

Notable former winners include Garrett Rank (2015, 2018), along with Ontario Golf Hall of Famers Stu Hamilton(1993, 1998), Kelly Roberts (1997), and Dave Bunker (2007, 2011, 2014, 2021). Charles Fitzsimmons and Cam Burke, both consistent contenders will also be in the mix.

“The Men’s Mid-Am always brings a unique intensity,” said Lawrence. “With such a seasoned group, there’s an elevated level of competitiveness. Every shot matters.”

More Than One Title on the Line

In addition to the overall championship, the event also includes the Mid-Master division, contested by players aged 40 and older.

“There’s great excitement around the Mid-Master division,” said Lawrence. “Players take a lot of pride in competing for that trophy, and the added layer of competition makes the event even more compelling.”

 A Community and Club Steeped in Golf History

The championship’s return to Sarnia Golf & Curling Club brings the spotlight back to a respected course known for its strategic layout and deep-rooted golf culture.

“Our course is fair but challenging,” said Jamie Parkinson, Head Golf Professional at Sarnia G&CC. “Many of the Mid-Am participants have played in our Men’s 2-Day Invitational and know what a treat it is to play here.”

Sarnia Golf & CC also has a proud legacy in this event: club members Dan Houlihan and Graham Hill are both past Mid-Am champions.  Hill will tee it up again this year.

“The community is really excited to host,” added Parkinson. “We have some talented local players in the field, and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see one of them in contention.”

With strong local support, a competitive field, and a classic venue, this year’s Mid-Am promises to be one of the highlights of the summer golf season.
