About WGA

Established in 1974, the Women’s Golf Association of the Wilmette Golf Club was formed to promote the best interests and true spirit of the game of golf.

To this end its primary objectives are to:
  • Provide administrative support for WGA leagues and their members, including registering for WGA memberships and events
  • Guide members in applying the rules of golf, as approved by the USGA, as well as local rules of play
  • Subscribe to the World Handicap System, and to use the current course rating and slope, for women, certified by the local rating body
  • Sponsor the annual Guest Day
  • Facilitate the annual WGA Championship, in cooperation with the WGC
  • Arrange meetings and social gatherings of the WGA membership, such as the Closing Cocktails event
