Welcome

The Ken McDonald Women’s Golf Association began as the Tempe Women’s Golf Club with the first formal season in 1976-77. KMWGA offers league play to its members on Tuesday mornings November through May. The league provides friendly and fun competitions and an opportunity to make new friends. Our events are flighted, so all levels have a chance to win prizes.

Each week there is a fun “Play of the Day”, and the annual membership dues cover prize money; there is no extra fee to participate in the POD. Monthly we have a shotgun start which allows everyone to enjoy lunch together afterwards. Other fun tournaments include 4-person scrambles, an Eclectic Tournament, a Partner Best Ball Tournament along with the President’s Cup and Club Championship tournaments.

KMWGA offers three membership types, Regular Season Membership, Associate Membership (handicap privileges only) and Short Season Membership for our winter visitors arriving after January. We are sanctioned through Arizona Golf Association (AGA) and membership includes USGA handicapping services (GHIN) through the AGA.

We would love to have you come join the fun! To find out more, contact our Membership Chair, Jodie Garth at kenmcdonaldwga@gmail.com
