Our Leagues
The WGA offers five different weekly golf leagues. Our individual leagues have many things in common, yet each has its own unique culture. Our players have a wide range of handicaps, from 10 to 54, but none of our members are new golfers or absolute beginners. If you’d like to know more about your readiness to join one of our leagues, please review these Golfer Ability Levels before registering. If you still aren’t sure, please contact the Membership Director of the league in which you are most interested.
Every WGA league follows the same Bylaws and League Rules, is led by a Board of Directors with similar Board Job Descriptions, and adheres to the USGA Rules of Golf. Our season begins the first week of May and concludes the last week of September. Click here to view calendar. We sign up on a week-by-week basis, and are scheduled in threesomes, follow golf etiquette, count every stroke and keep pace by playing ready golf with no mulligans. We all enjoy weekly on-course events with prizes, season-long competitions and monthly league social luncheons, in addition to the opportunity to participate in the WGA Club Championship. There’s a league for everyone!

Tuesday 18 (Also known as "SWG")
2025: REGISTRATION OPENS FOR 2024 WGA MEMBERS ON MARCH 1. REGISTRATION OPENS TO EVERYONE ON MARCH 15. ALL REGISTRATIONS MUST BE MADE ONLINE.
Tuesday 18 offers an exciting opportunity for a more competitive league experience. In fact, our league has produced the WGA 18-hole Club Champion more times than any other league! While our members may have the lowest average handicap amongst WGA members, we welcome all experienced golfers up to a membership cap of 54, with preference given to current WGA members. Tee times begin around 7:30 am on Tuesdays. Founded in 1953, the Tuesday 18 league also hosts the Wilmette Golf Team within its membership. This smaller group of skillful players competes against teams at other north suburban golf clubs through the Inter-Suburban Golf League. You’ll find that the majority of our members enjoy playing golf several times a week, and often participate in more than one 18-hole league. If you’d like to become a part of a great group of experienced golfers, come join Tuesday 18!

9-Hole Leagues
Monday 9 (Also known as "WK9" formerly "W-K 9")
2025: MONDAY 9 IS FULL FOR THE 2025 SEASON. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE PUT ON A WAITING LIST FOR MONDAY 9, PLEASE MAKE THIS REQUEST IN AN EMAIL TO registrar@wgawilmette.com
Monday 9 is a warm, fun and social group with one of the largest memberships in the WGA. We tee off on Mondays somewhere between 8:30 am and 10:30 am. Most of us joined this league to connect with other women golfers and have a great time while improving our game. WK9 has a wide range of handicaps, including plenty of members looking to establish a handicap for the first time. As a 9-hole league, we do have many advanced beginners, though we do not have any absolute beginners! Despite our easy-going nature, our league is not an avenue to start learning to play golf if you’ve never really played before. While we don’t take ourselves too seriously, we do take our golf seriously and enjoy rooting for each other in friendly competition.

2025: TUESDAY 9 IS FULL FOR THE 2025 SEASON. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE PUT ON A WAITING LIST FOR TUESDAY 9, PLEASE MAKE THIS REQUEST IN AN EMAIL TO registrar@wgawilmette.com
If the word “league” is daunting, consider joining Tuesday 9! We tee off on Tuesdays between 9:30 am and 10:30 am. Come enjoy playing golf in a friendly, low-stress, 9-hole league where you can improve your game and make new golf buddies. We are the smaller of the two 9-hole leagues, and our members’ tee time pairings rotate weekly, so that every golfer in our league will have played with all members by the end of the season. This fosters a fun and social atmosphere. All levels of ability are welcome, including advanced beginners, but as with all of the leagues, members of TAGS 9 must possess a basic knowledge of golf and golf skills. If you are brand new to golf, come join us after you’ve put a few more shots in your bag!
