FAIRMONT, W. Va. - The Mountain East Conference will host the 2026 Women’s Golf Championship on the Palmer Signature Course at Stonewall Resort in Roanoke, West Virginia. The tournament will be held October 11-13. 

The three-day event begins Sunday at 9 a.m. ET, with the MEC Women’s Championship first round. The championship will feature 54 holes of stroke play featuring a field of up to 50 student-athletes across 10 conference institutions.

The University of Charleston looks to defend the conference crown, after clinching the 2025 MEC Women’s Golf Championship title. The Golden Eagles were led by a trio of all-conference golfers a year ago, as junior Mari Filippa Larsen and senior Lucia Martin both finished the event at +16. Additionally, then teammate Gabrielle Harrison finished third overall. 

In addition to Larsen and Martin, 2025 runner-up Glenville State returns two all-conference golfers including sophomore Moa Lindgren and junior Elaina Seeley who finished fourth and fifth overall, respectively.

Set along the shores of Stonewall Jackson Lake in north-central West Virginia, the Arnold Palmer Signature Golf Course at Stonewall Resort is regarded as one of the premier golf venues in the region. The resort features an adirondack-style lodge along with full-service amenities.
