ABOUT Moore County Women's Amateur
The Moore County Women's Amateur was first competed in 1978 and the champion was Anne Brechtelsbauer.
In 2013 the committee recognized the challenges of limiting the competition to just Moore County, NC residents and opened the event to any woman wishing to celebrate the home county of golf in the US.
In addition, it was decided to take the opportunity of this competition to support the local organization Friend to Friend
which serves women and their families in distress.
We are proud to say that through support of our players and local businesses we have raised over $100,000 to date.
The Moore County Women's Amateur offers excellent competition and the added benefit of helping women less fortunate than ourselves.
