Connecticut Women's Golf Association

providing competitive golfing opportunities for its members since 1919


WELCOME TO CWGA

The Connecticut Women’s Golf Association was founded in 1919,  and the purpose of this non-profit association is to provide competitive golf opportunities for its members, to promote understanding of the rules of golf, and to encourage female golfers statewide. Beginning each spring, members can enjoy several rounds of golf, meet new friends and experience many levels of competition during the season.

Competitive events include individual stroke play and better/best ball tournaments. Member Championships and other competitions involving teams from surrounding states are held annually. Each fall, teams from our member clubs are invited to take part in the CWGA Presidents' Cup Team Matches, a highly competitive and exciting series played in match-play format. 

CWGA Closing Day Announcement

There was an important announcement made regarding the CWGA scholarship program at the CWGA Closing Day Tournament and Lunch held at Highland Golf Club on October 3, 2024.

"A perpetual scholarship to honor Marion Hyde is now being created due to a very generous donation from an anonymous donor."
