The Australian Boys’ and Girls’ Amateur Championships and Interstate Teams Matches will return to Queensland in April 2019 for the first time since 2012.
The Australian Girls’ Amateur will be played on the River course at Coolangatta & Tweed Heads Golf Club, April 10-12. The teams will then move inland to the home of the Queensland PGA championship, City Golf Club in Toowoomba for the Interstate Teams Matches April 15-17. Both clubs will be hosting the respective events for the first time in the club’s history.
The challenging layout of Coolangatta & Tweed Heads will be sure to test some of Australia’s and the world’s best young golfers, all hoping to add their name to the trophy next to the likes of Jan Stephenson, Minjee Lee, Su Oh and defending champion Maddison Hinson- Tolchard.

Further north of Coolangatta & Tweed Heads, the boys will be contesting the amateur championship at Southport Golf Club, who will also be staging the championship for the first time.
