We have 130 women in a golf group. Our annual tournament was called the Queen's Quest for many years. A member and her guest are a team and compete against 63 other teams of two. Someone said it should be Queens' Quest. Could it be right either way? A single member could be looked upon as the queen and it her quest to win. Or all members are queens and they collectively are in a quest to win. We've listed it both ways and it comes up for debate each year. What is your opinion?
Thank-you very much!

Your analysis of the possessive s is correct. You can have it either way, depending on whether or not "Queen" is plural or singular. Personally, I think you've done the right thing by having it either way because, then, each member can interpret it in her own way.
