What is a Member Club?

A Member Club is a "golf club," incorporated or not, that is made up of residents of Alabama. The club must be an organization of at least 10 individual members that operates under by-laws, with committees appointed to supervise golf activities and to maintain the integrity of the USGA Handicap System. The club’s members must have a reasonable and regular opportunity to play golf with each other and be able to return scores or scorecards for posting. An organization of amateur golfers at a public golf course is considered a "golf club," provided that it satisfies these same conditions. A Member Club must also provide to its individual members the handicap service offered by the AGA.
