CSGA Tournaments

Connecticut Women's Open
Innis Arden is an exceptional site for the CT Women's Open and the CSGA is making this a 20th Anniversary to remember! They have two four-star hotels with rooms blocked off for the event at substantial discounts to make this a perfect Ladies Golf Getaway! Last year the out-of-state participation exceeded the in-state and they are hoping to broaden the participation and have a strong contingent from CT representing CT in our own Women's Open.

CT Women's Tournament of Champions
The eligibility for the CT Women's Tournament of Champions has been widely expanded from just 18-hole Club Champions to include current or former Champions from a variety of tournaments. For the CWGA, these titles include the Individual, Junior, Senior and Legends Championships as well as all Endicott Cup Individual Champions from CT.

CSGA Women's Series
Everyone who signs up by the Early Bird Registration deadlines for the CSGA Women's Series (i.e. Open, TOC, and Am) will receive a complimentary gift! Any player that participates in two of the three events in the Women's Series will be eligible for a grand prize drawing! Click here for more information on the CSGA Women's Series.
