The Northern Golf Association (NGA) is a non-profit organization representing golf courses across Northern Ontario. Our member clubs span a vast region—from Katrine on Highway 11 and Parry Sound on Highway 69, west along Highway 17 to Sault Ste. Marie, north to Wawa, east to Mattawa, and further north along Highway 11 to Hearst. The NGA and its member clubs are active in the territorial districts of Algoma, Cochrane, Parry Sound, Nipissing, Sudbury, and Timiskaming, collectively representing an area of approximately 269,802 square kilometers. The association has proudly operated continuously since 1926.
 

Our mission is to promote the growth of golf in Northern Ontario by supporting our member clubs, managing tournament scheduling and resource allocation, fostering the development of women’s and junior golf, and conducting NGA Championships for men, women, and junior players. We work in collaboration with Golf Ontario and Golf Canada to uphold the integrity and advancement of the sport throughout the region.
 

The Northern Ontario Amateur Championship has been a proud tradition since 1926, held annually with the exception of three years during World War II and one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
