Early life and amateur career

When Stackhouse was a 2-year old, her father cut down a set of golf clubs for her. "I began to practice alongside him, and he never stopped taking me. I guess I developed a liking for the game, I kept practicing, and here I am now," says Stackhouse.{{cite news |work=NPR |title=Teen Golfer: Don't Compare Me To Tiger |date=July 21, 2011 |url=https://www.npr.org/2011/07/21/138576098/teen-golfer-dont-compare-me-to-tiger}} She played in her first tournament at age 6 and tied for first.

Stackhouse graduated from North Clayton High School in Riverdale, GA, where she was elected class president two years in a row.{{cite magazine |magazine=Sports Illustrated |title=Mariah Stackhouse has potential to become golf's next big thing |date=May 9, 2013 |url=https://www.si.com/more-sports/2013/05/09/mariah-stackhouse-stanford-golf}}

In 2013 as a freshman at Stanford, Stackhouse shot a 61 at the Peg Barnard Invitational Tournament which set an NCAA scoring record. Her round of 61 included a front nine score of 26 (−9).{{cite magazine |last=Williams |first=Julie |title=Stackhouse sets NCAA scoring record with 61 |magazine=Golfweek |date=February 18, 2013 |url=https://golfweek.com/2013/02/18/stackhouse-sets-new-ncaa-scoring-record-61/ |accessdate=June 23, 2018}}

At the 2015 NCAA Division I Championship, Stackhouse finished 6th in the individual competition and led her team to the team title.
