2026 SURVEY RESULTS

42nd Edition!
 

The Rileys Best Ball Ladies Classic is the kickoff to the Calgary Ladies Golf Association season and is the longest running best ball tournament in North America.  It’s a great way to play different courses and meet new friends, all in the name of fun and fellowship. 

Participant Guidelines

Entry is open to all CLGA members and female club pros. Both players that register as a team must be from the same club and one must be an amateur. 

Format Rules

Rileys is a four-ball match play competition. 48 teams are separated into a championship, first and second flight. No strokes are given in the flighted match play. All teams are guaranteed two games. A and B side finals in each flight are played and celebrated on Championship Sunday in July.

​​

Qualification and Ranking Procedure 

Determination of the lowest 48 teams to qualify is based only on the lower index of the two players as updated by Golf Canada on the day after the entry deadline.   

Draw 

The Championship flight is half seeded so that the number 1 and 2 teams do not play each other randomly. A random draw is done within each of the other flights to determine home course advantage and opponents. This will be revealed at the opening cocktail party (with the minor glitch from last year fixed!!) and we have a few other things up our sleeves so you will not want to miss the party! 

Dates 

Here are the notable dates for 2025.  All players are invited in the finals presentations so be sure to mark your calendars regardless of whether or not you make it to the finals. Finals are scheduled later in the afternoon so that everyone can still play in the morning then come out to watch your favorite groups compete for the championship trophies. *New this year – Championship Sunday will be at Calgary Golf & Country Club*

​

Because the draw reveal is not until May, match deadlines are extended in to early summer.
