State Amateur
About
Prestige meets prestige when it comes to the annual Nevada State Women’s Amateur.
UNLV star Veronica Joels won in 2018 and 2019, and the 2020 tournament is at the beautiful Reflection Bay Golf Club, one of many top Nevada courses to host the tournament over the years.
This is the best of the best in several divisions and the top prize in women’s golf in Nevada. History oozes from the this tournament, which was won by LPGA Tour Hall of Famer Patty Sheehan from 1975-78. Sheehan was also a three-time Nevada State High School champion and a native of Reno. Sheehan went on to win 35 times on the LPGA Tour.
Another top champion was Las Vegas Golf Hall of Fame member Brenda Knott.
