Why Women Love This Game
Six Reasons Golf Is
Made for You
A Community Like No Other
Golf builds lifelong friendships. Whether it's a casual nine holes on a Tuesday or an AGA event, the women you meet on Alaska's fairways become some of the most meaningful relationships in your life.
Wellbeing — Body & Mind
A single round of golf involves miles of walking, hours of fresh air, and a kind of focused calm that's genuinely hard to find elsewhere. Golf is one of the most effective low-impact activities for long-term health.
Professional Networking
Golf is where Alaska's business community meets. Learning the game opens doors — to relationships, conversations, and opportunities that simply don't happen in a conference room.
Alaska's Natural Beauty
Playing golf in Alaska means mountain backdrops, glacial air, and the kind of scenery that makes every round unforgettable. There is nowhere else in the world quite like this.
A Skill That Grows With You
Golf is a lifelong sport. The better you get, the richer it becomes. Unlike almost any other athletic pursuit, the game rewards patience, intelligence, and dedication at every age.
Time That's Truly Yours
Four hours on the course is four hours away from screens, schedules, and noise. Golf gives you permission to be fully present — in a place of extraordinary beauty — with people you enjoy.
Your AGA Membership
Everything You Get
From Day One

AGA membership gives you everything you need to play golf properly and confidently in Alaska. Your GHIN Handicap Index® is the universal language of golf — it lets you play with anyone, anywhere, at any level.

And because junior membership is completely free, there is zero barrier to getting started. Adults pay a modest annual fee that includes everything below.

Official GHIN Handicap Index®
Your recognized, portable handicap accepted everywhere in the world. Post every round; watch your game grow and be measured fairly.
GHIN Mobile App
Score posting, Handicap tracking, and course lookup in your pocket. Simple, clean, and genuinely useful every time you play.
AGA Women's Community
Access to AGA women's leagues, events, and a growing network of women golfers across Alaska who share your love of the game.
Member Events & Socials
From casual scrambles to women's clinics and member-guest events — the AGA calendar has something for every level and every schedule.
USGA Membership Benefits
As an AGA member, you're also connected to the USGA — with access to national qualifying events, resources, and the world's most respected golf body.
Tournament Access — On Your Terms
AGA tournaments are open to all members — but never required. Compete when you're ready, or simply enjoy everything else membership offers.
The Social Side of Golf
Golf Is One of the Best
Ways to Connect
Women's Leagues & Group Play
AGA women's leagues are the heart of the community. Regular group rounds, team scrambles, and member-only events create a consistent circle of women who play together season after season. No experience level required — all that matters is showing up.
Clinics & Skill Events
From beginner clinics to rules workshops and short-game sessions, the AGA runs women-focused golf education throughout the season.
Member-Guest & Charity Rounds
Bring a friend who's never played. Charity scrambles and member-guest events are low-pressure, high-fun introductions to competitive play.
Course Exploration Across Alaska
AGA membership gives you a reason to explore Alaska's diverse golf courses — from Anchorage to Fairbanks and beyond. Every course is a new adventure.
The Network You Didn't Know You Needed
Alaska's most interesting, driven women play golf. The AGA is where professionals, entrepreneurs, and community leaders connect — on the fairway, where walls come down.
Never Played Before? Perfect.
Starting From Zero
Is the Best Place to Begin
1
Join the AGA & Get Your Handicap
Start with a free AGA membership (juniors) or affordable adult membership. Get your official GHIN Handicap Index® so you have a baseline to grow from.
2
Take a Few Lessons
A handful of lessons with a local PGA teaching pro will accelerate your progress dramatically. Many Alaska courses offer beginner women's programs — fun, friendly, and completely judgment-free.
3
Play Your First Round
Start on a par-3 or executive course — or just play nine holes at your local track. Post your score to GHIN. That's it. You're a golfer.
4
Join a Women's League or Group
Playing with others is how the game really comes alive. AGA women's events are welcoming to all handicaps. You'll find your group quickly.
5
Keep Playing. Keep Improving.
Golf rewards consistency. Post every round, take occasional lessons, and play as often as Alaska's seasons allow. You'll be amazed how quickly you improve.
A Note for New Players
You Don't Need
to Be Good to Start

The most common thing we hear from women who finally try golf is: "I wish I had started sooner." Golf has a learning curve — but the curve is where all the fun is. Every woman who has ever played her best round started somewhere.

The AGA community is patient, encouraging, and genuinely excited to welcome new players. Alaska's golf culture is warm, not intimidating. Come as you are.

Do I need my own clubs to join?
No. Many courses offer rental sets. Start with a small set of basics — you don't need 14 clubs to enjoy the game.
What does a GHIN Handicap cost?
Junior membership (18 & under) is completely free through the AGA. Adult membership is available at a low annual rate that includes your GHIN Handicap.
Will I feel out of place as a beginner?
Not here. AGA women's events are specifically designed to be welcoming at all skill levels. Beginners are celebrated, not sidelined.
How short is Alaska's golf season?
Typically May through September in most of Alaska — longer in some areas. Short seasons make every round feel more precious. Alaskan golfers have a reputation for passion precisely because of it.
When You're Ready to Compete
Women's Tournaments
Built for Every Level

Remember — competition is optional. These events are here for you when you want them.

AGA Women's Scramble & Casual Events
The perfect entry point into AGA competition. Team formats, low pressure, and a whole lot of fun. Ideal for women new to tournament golf who want to dip their toes in with the safety of a team around them.
Great for Beginners
AGA Women's Stroke Play Championships
The flagship women's individual competition in Alaska. Multiple flight divisions ensure every skill level has a fair and exciting competition. Winning an AGA championship is a genuine accomplishment that follows you for life.
All Skill Levels Welcome
USGA Women's Qualifiers
AGA members can compete in USGA local qualifying events held right here in Alaska — including the U.S. Women's Amateur and U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur. These are world-class events with a pathway to the national stage.
For Serious Competitors

Not ready to compete solo? Most AGA events include team and net divisions, meaning your Handicap Index® levels the playing field. You don't need to be scratch to win — or to have an extraordinary time.

Golf gave me four hours outside, five new friends, and a reason to come back to Alaska every summer. Nothing else does all three at once.

The Alaska Difference
Playing Golf in Alaska
Makes You Different
Weather That Builds Resilience
Variable conditions, cool temperatures, and short seasons forge a particular kind of golfer — adaptable, focused, and genuinely tough. Alaska women golfers are noticed.
The Most Beautiful Courses in the World
Glaciers, mountains, and midnight sun. Nowhere else offers golf scenery like Alaska. Every round here is an experience that golfers from the Lower 48 can only dream about.
You're Rare — That's a Strength
Very few women golfers nationwide have played in Alaska. Whether you're heading to college, a new city, or a business event — being an Alaskan golfer is a story that opens rooms.
A Community Rooting for You
The AGA women's community is tight-knit, warm, and deeply proud of Alaska golf. When you join, you're joining a group of people who genuinely want to see you thrive.
