How to Become an NCGA Member

You can become a member of the Northern California Golf Association in the following ways:

  Golfers can join today via the Internet by registering with an NCGA eClub. The eClub will make it even easier for golfers to join the NCGA while still offering the same great member benefits for golfers throughout Northern California.

  Golfers can join established NCGA Associate Clubs. NCGA Associate Clubs are normally found at places of employment, social groups, etc. They must meet certain qualifications, such as a regular opportunity for members to play golf with each other. Join an NCGA Associate Club.

  Golfers can also join an NCGA Regular Club. Regular clubs are NCGA golf clubs located at golf courses. A regular club can be private, semi-private, public or military. Find an NCGA Regular Club.

  Golfers who are a member of another golf association can join the NCGA via the new Association Membership, and have access to reduced rates at Poppy Hills and Poppy Ridge as well as a host of other benefits (NCGA membership must be purchased before discounted rates at Poppy Hills are available. Membership is not available for purchase at Poppy Hills).

Some regular and associate clubs are actively seeking members. Golfers may also choose to form their own NCGA Associate Club as a path to membership.

While individual pricing for NCGA membership may vary from club to club, the NCGA charges $30 for membership renewals and multi-memberships and $40 for new and reinstated members.
