Our leagues are open to both members and non-members (although members’ fees are discounted — one of the many benefits of joining the EWGA!)

We hold our leagues at courses all around the greater Rochester area — so you can find a league that’s convenient to home or work.

We also give you a number of scheduling choices. You can pick a league that plays at a day/time that is convenient for you as well.

We have leagues to help beginners learn golf rules and etiquette, and leagues where you must have a handicap to play (but since you get free access to the Golf Life Management handicap system as part of your EWGA membership, that’s easy to do!)

All of our leagues have one thing in common, however: they are friendly and supportive places for women to socialize, network, and play golf.

We’re in the process now of planning our 2010 leagues.

We’ll have league sign-up sheets at our annual kick-off on March 20 at Midvale Country Club.
