UGA memberships

Junior memberships are for players 18 years of age and under. Both adult and junior memberships include the same core benefits — an official Handicap Index®, access to UGA events, GHIN app features, partner discounts, and golf media. 

We often get calls from members who have renewed their membership with the USGA instead of the UGA. The USGA, or United States Golf Association, is the national organization that writes the Rules of Golf and Handicapping Manual, and they also conduct various amateur and professional competitions.

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.

Adult members 19 years of age and older pay $38 for a 365 day membership. Junior members 18 years of age and younger pay $25 for a 365 day membership.

Your UGA membership is valid for 365 days from the date you join or renew. 

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.
