Membership FAQs
Memberships can be renewed up to 60 days early. You will receive a renewal notice 30 days in advance of your expiration date. If you renew early, you will not lose any days of your membership — your current expiration date will simply be extended by one year.
The USGA supports organizations like the UGA by providing handicapping and tournament software, providing answers to rules and handicapping questions, researching agronomy in the various regions of the nation, and by growing this game that we all love.
Your membership with the USGA also provides you benefits, but the only way to get your Handicap Index is through a state or regional golf association like the Utah Golf Association.
