The women’s golf championships on Oct. 28-29 will add a new venue again this year as the 1A/2A Championships will be played at Sapona Golf Club in Lexington. The 3A Championships will return to Longleaf Golf and Family Club after being contested at Foxfire Golf Club in 2023. The 4A Championships will be played at Pinehurst No. 6.
