Former Canadian National Open Championship venues,
Wascana Country Club and TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley
to host prestigious national amateur championships
OAKVILLE, Ont. – Golf Canada is excited to announce the host venues for the 2026 Canadian Junior Boys Championship and 2026 Canadian Junior Girls Championship, both presented by BDO and running August 10 – 14, 2026.
The Canadian Junior Boys Championship will take place at Wascana Country Club in Regina, Sask. and the Canadian Junior Girls Championship will be contested at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley (Heathlands course) in Caledon, Ont. The 2018 CPKC Women’s Open, won by Brooke Henderson was contested at Wascana, while the 2025 RBC Canadian Open was held at TPC Toronto on the North course.
“Golf Canada is incredibly proud to hold both of our Canadian Junior Championships at properties with such prestige and experience hosting both the CPKC Women’s Open and RBC Canadian Open,” said Mary Beth McKenna, Director, Amateur Championships and Rules, Golf Canada. “We appreciate all the work and enthusiasm from both Wascana and TPC Toronto for their continued support of our amateur championships and we are excited for both fields to compete at two of the top venues in our country next summer.”
The Wascana Country Club has a proud history dating back to 1911. Founded by a small group of Regina residents, Wascana was envisioned as more than a golf course, it was created as a true country club, a place for recreation, relaxation, and connection just beyond the growing city.
Today, the lush par-72 Wetlands Course stretches over 6,900 yards from the Championship tees, spanning 170 acres of natural beauty. Designed to both challenge and inspire, the course offers multiple tee options, ensuring an enjoyable experience for golfers of all skill levels.
“Wascana Country Club is honoured to host the 2026 Canadian Junior Boys Championship, one of Golf Canada’s premier national events and a proud milestone for our club. This championship is a chance to showcase our championship-calibre course, vibrant membership, and commitment to developing Canada’s next generation of golf talent,” said Craig Prentice, General Manager, Wascana Country Club. “We look forward to welcoming players and families to Regina for a true prairie experience, and to delivering a first-class event through the dedication of our staff, volunteers, and entire Wascana community.”
Inspired by Ireland’s Portmarnock Golf Club, the Heathlands course’s fescue-covered dunes, pot bunkers and severely sloped greens pay homage to classic golf design with one of the truest tests in Ontario.
Opened in 1992, the Heathlands course harkens back to golf’s beginnings and the dune-swept hills of traditional Irish links. Once the carefully guarded secret of local aficionados, the course has become a favourite of those seeking a traditional golf experience and a stirring challenge that pays homage to the simple-yet-brilliant creativity of classic golf design. Heathlands is ranked in the top 25 for public golf courses in Canada and has been the long-time host venue of the Osprey Valley Open, a PGA TOUR Americas event.
“We are incredibly proud to welcome these outstanding young golfers to TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley for the 2026 Canadian Junior Girls Championship. Hosting this prestigious event on our Heathlands course is a tremendous honour, and we look forward to showcasing not only our championship venue but also the warm hospitality of our community. This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the global growth of the game and inspire the next generation of players,” said Chris Humeniuk, President, TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley.
The Canadian Junior Boys Championship was established in 1938 and has seen those who claimed the Silver Cup go on to serve memorable careers in the game of golf, including Canadian Golf Hall of Famers Doug Silverberg (1950), George Knudson (1955), Gary Cowan (1956) and Doug Roxburgh (1970), as well as current PGA TOUR stars Nick Taylor and Adam Svensson who each won the tournament in 2006 and 2012 respectively. The Juvenile division has featured in the tournament since 1970, with the winner receiving the Jack Bailey Trophy. Only 12 players have claimed both the Juvenile and Junior championship in the same year, with Dawson Lew of Toronto, Ont. the most recent to accomplish the feat last month.
The Canadian Junior Girls Championship was first contested in 1955 and operated by the former Canadian Ladies Association (CLGA) until the amalgamation of CLGA and Royal Canadian Golf Association (now Golf Canada) in 2005. The Canadian Junior Girls Championship has a long list of distinguished past champions that have etched their name on the Brokenshire Trophy. Past champions include Canadian Golf Hall of Famers Sandra Post (1964-66), Betty Stanhope (1956), Judy Darling (1957), Gail Harvey Moore (1958-1960) and Gayle Borthwick (1961). In addition, LPGA Tour players, Alena Sharp (1999), Brooke Henderson (2012) and Maddie Szeryk (2013). Stollery Family Team Canada Women’s Head Coach Salimah Mussani (1996) is also a past Canadian Junior Champion. Last month, Shauna Liu of Maple, Ont. successfully defended her title to become the ninth multi-time winner of the national championship and the first back-to-back winner since Heather Kuzmich in 1982.
The full 2026 Canadian Amateur Championship schedule will be announced in the new year.
