Jointly conducted by the Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) and the Northern California Golf Association (NCGA), the California Senior Amateur Championship represents the absolute pinnacle of competitive senior golf in the Golden State. Each year, this prestigious event brings together the finest players aged 55 and older to battle for the ultimate crown of state champion.
Spanning 54 holes of stroke play, the championship rotates annually among California's most iconic and demanding layouts. It is far more than a showcase of elite skill; it is a classic North-versus-South showdown, fueling a deep-rooted regional rivalry where every shot carries the weight of state bragging rights.
With USGA exemptions on the line and a field packed with former mid-amateur standouts and battle-tested champions, hoisting the trophy means etching your name alongside the legends of West Coast golf. For the elite competitor, the California Senior Amateur is the ultimate stage.
