The SCGA — Your Golf Community
Let’s face it: It can be difficult to gather three golf friends for 18 holes every week; even every month! The SCGA has solutions.

SCGA Golf Leagues and One-Day Series Tournaments occur across Southern California and provide fun and friendly competition. As a member of the SCGA, you’ll also have access to exclusive Member Outings at premier Southern California courses.
