How to join the SCGA

To join the Southern California Golf Association, you must join one of our 1,200 member clubs. You cannot join the SCGA directly without joining a club. When you join a club, you'll automatically become a member of the SCGA. Dues vary from club to club and include the SCGA's annual dues of $30 (as of 2006).

Your options include:

Golf Course Facilities
Every private golf and/or country club in Southern California (defined as San Luis Obispo and Kern County south to the Mexican border and east to the Arizona/Nevada border, plus a dozen clubs in Baja California) and nearly all public golf facilities in the region have clubs that belong to the SCGA.

Affiliate Clubs
There are more than 800 SCGA affiliate clubs (often called "golf clubs without real estate") throughout the region. Some are connected with courses (in addition to the regular club at the course) but most are not. Some clubs are connected with business, churches, synagogues and fraternal organizations. Others are just groups of people who band together as a club through their common love of the game. To find a list of affiliate clubs near you, click here.
