The Alberta Women’s Senior Championship is largely seen as the most consistent group of competitors, as every year the championship brings together many of the same golfers every year. The women always show up for three days of competition, but most importantly the camaraderie. The group cheers each other on, stay for food after each round as they wait for other players to finish, and are always excited for the next year. This year the group will be treated to a trip up north from July 29-31 to The Ranch Golf & Country Club, one of Alberta’s premier tournament facilities.
The Ranch Golf & Country Club is a top level facility within the province, famed for its commitment to player experience. The course has hosted multiple Canadian Tour events in its time, but most recently hosted the 2024 Alberta Men’s Super Senior Championship and before that hosted the 2019 Alberta Women’s Amateur. The Ranch features a full-length, par-71 course that will challenge and delight even the most experienced golfer. In 2021, Score Magazine ranked The Ranch Golf and Country Club #1 Best Value Public Golf Course in Edmonton,
and #2 in Alberta. Designed by Western Golf Projects to offer the golfer variety, the course features traditional challenges that test your skills with mature natural forest, ponds, and stone creek beds. For a little taste of Scotland, the architect has interwoven numerous links style holes.
As the course still lays under the recent snowfall that hit most parts of Alberta, the competitors are surely still gearing up for the event. In 2025, Daniela Pacheco won her first Alberta championship with an impressive final day score of 71 to rocket up the leaderboard. Alberta Golf Hall of Fame Jackie Little won the Super Senior Championship in 2025, continuing to add to her trophy case, while Ena Spalding won the Diamond Division for the second time in three years. This year, those same names will look to repeat their success but there will be a long list of players looking to play the role of spoiler. Kim Carrington returned to the event after a long stint of injuries, now with a year under her belt the killer instinct is undoubtedly back. Gisselle Willimus returned to competitive golf after an extended period away. Other favourites include the consistent Lynn Kuehn, Lisa Hall, Connie Evans, two-time champion Celina Lam, and plenty more. The eventual winner will have to navigate a tough test at The Ranch with so much variety to the course players will need to stay on their toes.
