The USGA Women’s State Team Championship, in 1995, like the men’s version, grew out of the celebration of the Association’s Centennial and was fashioned after the biennial World Amateur Team Championship. Each state was invited to send its three best players, and 43 states sent women’s teams to compete for the new title at the Lake Buena Vista (Fla.) Club.

This year’s championship will be held September 26-28, 2017 at The Club at Las Campanas (Sunset Course), Santa Fe, N.M.

The format will be 54 holes stroke play, with a cut after the first 36 holes. The cut will be the low 21 teams and ties, plus any individual who is within five strokes of the lead.
