2. Meet New People — Or Bring Your Friends and Family
Golf is better with company. NCGA events are known for being friendly, inclusive, and fun — whether you’re teeing it up with your spouse, your regular foursome, or meeting new players for the first time.
“We’ve been married almost 30 years — and we’re not killing each other on the course! It’s fun to play together and meet other couples who love the game.”
— Mixed Team Series Participants, Ian & Paige Harding
Every NCGA event is a chance to connect — to turn playing partners into lifelong friends and find your people on and off the course.
3. Play Courses You’ve Never Played Before
From Pebble Beach’s Poppy Hills to hidden gems like San Juan Oaks, NCGA events give members access to the best courses in Northern California — including private venues you might not play otherwise.
"[I’ve] got two words for you here: beautiful variety. That’s what the NCGA brings."
