👇 Why Join the SCGA👇

(Click to Play Video)

Every SCGA Membership Includes a Handicap Index®

You can obtain a Handicap Index® by joining any SCGA golf club (public or private) in Southern California. These groups are great places to make new friends, play more golf and have more fun! Select "Pick a Club" above to find a group near you. Alternatively, you can select an Associate Membership to remove any guesswork. An Associate Membership auto-selects a club based on your zip code.

Why You Need It
GET BETTER: Track your progress!
COMPETE: Access tournaments that requires a Handicap Index.
LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD: Win competitions regardless of your skill level!
FIND GOLFING BUDDIES: Golf clubs help you get connected fast
CHARITY TOURNAMENTS: Play and compete for prizes.
WIN MONEY: Beat friends and go home w/ cash in your pocket!
Why GHIN
Lots of services offer a handicap, but only a GHIN Number / Handicap ID is universally trusted by Southern California golfers for competitive purposes.

That's because a GHIN Number requires membership in an association-certified golf club that guarantees oversight of indexes by fellow club members and a certified Handicap Chairperson. This ensures golfers play and compete with a Handicap Index that accurately reflects his or her ability.
How You Get It
STEP 1 - Join the SCGA and get a GHIN number (you use this number to post scores from your golf rounds).
STEP 2 - Post three 18-hole scores (or six 9-hole scores) at ghin.com (or use the GHIN mobile app) using your assigned GHIN number.
STEP 3 - Your Handicap Index will be established within 24 hours of posting your rounds!
