What level golfer are you?
Golf should always be fun regardless of your playing level. Take a minute to assess your experience to ensure you get placed in the appropriate league. If you have any questions feel free to contact our League Chair Corrine Grandolfo at golfleague@ewgawestchester.com.
For business or for fun, weekly Leagues are a great way to play & enjoy golf. Based on feedback from many members, each league is designed to offer players the best possible experience.
Our Rookie League gives new players without a handicap an opportunity to play with a mentor and learn course management, golf etiquette, and more.
Beginners and Intermediate players with handicaps can choose to play at either Saxon Woods or Sprain Lake Golf Courses.
Our Doral leagues give lower handicap players the opportunity to play on a more challenging course and in a more competitive atmosphere.
Note: If you are interested in playing in a league and do not have a handicap, you will be required to play a nine hole round with one of the league captains or board members who will determine which league may be right for you. Additionally, you will be required to establish a handicap during the season. Download our league handbook for more information.
