Charlie had rounds of 74 and 78 for a 36-hole total of 152 over the testing Dave Thomas designed course.
She won the championship trophy by one shot from Charlotte Dalton (Ladbrook Park) who scored 78 and 75.
Third was Ellis Keenan (Sunningdale) with 76 and 78 for 154.
Anna Carling (Vale of Glamorgan) won the premier handicap award with net rounds of 72 and 77 for 149, playing off four of a handicap.
Irish legend Mary McKenna (Donabate) won the senior title with scores of 84 and 80 for 164.
The Murcia Under-16 girls´ championship was won by Hayley Davis (Ferndown) by two shots from her good friend Hannah Turland (Tidworth).
Hayley had rounds of 77 and 74 for 151, overtaking Hannah, the first round leader with a 73, over the second round.
Young Amber Ratcliffe (Royal Cromer), who has slashed her handicap from 16 to seven over the past 12 months, won the Under-16 girls´ handicap top prize with net ronds of 69 and 76 for 145.
