Volunteer with the NCGA
Our incredible team of more than 300 volunteers make everything we do possible. We invite you to join us in our efforts, and become eligible for fantastic benefits!
There are two volunteer categories: Tournament Officials and Course Raters. Tournament Officials administer all of our NCGA events and Course Raters visit golf courses to evaluate the course rating and slope.
Once your application is accepted, you will be onboarded through our training program to familiarize you with our systems and processes. This ensures you have the confidence and knowledge to get out there and collaborate with the wider NCGA team.
