Join the MGA

Golfers can obtain a Handicap Index by joining any MGA member club. The MGA is composed of private, public, and eClubs throughout New York, New Jersey, and parts of Connecticut. Any member of an MGA member club is entitled to all membership privileges including an official GHIN Handicap. See which membership makes the most sense to you below.

Join at a Member Golf Course

Join the MGA through your local public golf facility. The MGA has more than 200 member clubs that play at public golf courses. These clubs are usually inexpensive and are very simple to join. For more information, visit your favorite public course.

Join or Start Your Own Club

Do you play regularly with a group from your office, your firehouse, your neighborhood or your local golf league? It’s a perfect scenario for becoming a “club without real estate.” Organized groups who are not affiliated with a single golf facility can form their own club and join the MGA.

Please note: We are moving to a new 365 day membership model for the 2023 Season. Renewal will occur 365 days from the date of joining. Any golfer who does not auto-renew or renew manually will be inactivated.
