Mass Golf provides a GHIN # and Handicap Index to all members. A Handicap Index provides every golfer – regardless of age, gender, or skill level – with a universal measure of playing ability under the World Handicap System.

Designed for golfers of all ages and playing abilities, Member Days are open to all Mass Golf Members. These one-day events offer access to some of the state’s finest private courses for an affordable, casual and fun experience.

The Massachusetts Golfer is a print publication available exclusively to Mass Golf Members and delivered to their doorsteps free of charge. Each volume will contain carefully considered stories and artful photography, representing a series of love letters to the game we adore, in the state that does it best.

Each season, Mass Golf sponsors and conducts nearly 60 events and 18 statewide championships for juniors, seniors, men, and women. Mass Golf also conducts Qualifying for several USGA Championships.

Mass Golf offers everything from Women’s One Day events (social, non- competitive, casual and fun events) to Women’s Team Tournaments (friendly and competitive) and Women’s Cup Matches (inter-club competitions).

Mass Golf conducts several Parent Child, Mixed Team, and Women’s Tournaments each year. Additionally, Men’s Team Matches were introduced in 2024, allowing members to participate in a competitive and social inter-club format.

By way of programs like First Tee -Massachusetts, Youth on Course, and the Student Member Program, Mass Golf is committed to helping young golfers develop and gain access to life-changing opportunities through golf.

As a way of celebrating this achievement, Mass Golf sends each member a customized and distinctive bag tag and certificate that commemorates the accomplishment.

Whether you have questions about Rules information, score posting, handicapping, event registration, or junior development, Mass Golf’s staff is ready to assist any active member.
