Championship Information

The Illinois State Women's Amateur Championship, traditionally conducted annually by the Illinois Women's Golf Association, was first played in 1934 at Evanston Golf Club. Conducted as match play through 2023, the event is now a 54-hole stroke play competition contested over three days. Barrington native and Stetson University golfer Bridget Butler captured her first State Women's Am crown in 2025 at The Grove. Also, for the first time in 2025, the Illinois State Women's Mid-Amateur champion was awarded to Dasa Urbankova as the lowest competitor age 25 and up following 36 holes of competition.

The Illinois State Women's Amateur champion earns an automatic exemption into the current year's U.S. Women's Amateur Championship.
