CLUB & MEMBER SERVICES

The New York State Golf Association was originally established in 1923 to conduct a sanctioned state amateur golf championship and help promote the game across New York.

A century later, the golf landscape has changed and adapted, and so has the NYSGA. Our association now offers an array of member and club services that support our statewide community, promote the competitive spirit, and support the best interests of the game.

We proudly serve our member clubs in several ways including Course Rating, Handicapping, Tournament Management support, and offer various playing opportunities hosted at their facilities.

Among the hundreds of member clubs, over 38,000 individual golfers are now using their USGA GHIN Handicap Index licensed through the NYSGA. Beyond that, we offer playing opportunities to members of all ages across the state, whether it be vying for a championship crown or competing for net and/or gross prizes in an Amateur Series event.

Each spring, we hold free Rules of Golf training seminars available for members to ask questions, get involved and become better-educated golfers.

Lastly, we keep our members informed and up-to-date on all that’s happening in our state golf scene through digital communications.
