Forming your own golf club with Golf Ontario is an easy and rewarding way to bring golfers together and elevate your playing experience.
By creating a club, group, or golf society, you gain access to:
- An official Handicap Index for all members—making it easy to track your game and add a layer of friendly competition
- The ability to schedule your own events, establish your own culture, and build a community that fits your group’s interests—whether competitive, social, or casual
- The opportunity to list your events on the Ontario Golf Events Hub
As a recognized Golf Ontario club, you’ll also receive support, resources, and guidance to help you run events smoothly and confidently. Members benefit from scoring tools, digital recordkeeping, and the added value and protection of a Golf Ontario / Golf Canada membership.
Starting a club is simple, flexible, and designed to fit the way you and your group already play.

Here are a few great examples of golfer-led clubs and communities across Ontario:
Local Legends Golf
Local Legends Golf is a standout example of how Ontario golfers can build meaningful communities without owning a course.
As a premier two-man amateur match play tournament, Local Legends brings players together through region-based brackets, flexible scheduling, and a fun, competitive format that runs throughout the summer. Golfers compete locally for a chance to advance to the finals—an all-inclusive championship experience in Los Cabos, Mexico.
Local Legends embodies what’s possible when passionate players come together: connection, competition, and unforgettable golf experiences.
LPGA Amateurs – Greater Toronto Chapter

Canadian Caribbean Amateur Golfers Association (CCAGA)
The CCAGA is a long-standing and vibrant community that showcases the power of culture, connection, and shared passion for the game.
Founded in the early 1980s and formalized in 2002, the association brings together Caribbean-Canadian golfers through weekly competitions, skill-building events, and a welcoming environment rooted in camaraderie.
Through tournaments, charity events, and a 20-week season, CCAGA demonstrates how meaningful golf experiences can be built entirely by the community itself.
Bogey Golfers Association (BGA)
The Bogey Golfers Association (BGA) is one of Ontario’s fastest-growing golfer-led communities.
Founded in 2018 with just eight golfers, BGA has grown into a 300-member league supported by more than 30 partners. With 14 events each season, BGA delivers a tour-style experience at top courses across the GTA.
Built on a foundation of fun, competition, and community, BGA proves what’s possible when golfers take the lead.
