The Heights Golf Club has more than a dozen informal men’s golfing groups for players of all abilities that meet weekly and are open to all who are interested.

Women's Golf Association at The Heights
Mission Statement
The Heights Women’s Golf Association welcomes, encourages, supports and inspires women of all golf abilities and ages. We provide competitive and non-competitive golf opportunities, foster friendships and promote the game of golf.
Dues
Annual dues for membership in the WGA is $40.00, payable before January 1 of each year. With membership, a player is eligible to apply for a USGA handicap and participate in all golfing events at the club, including 18-hole play, Half Rounder (9-hole) play and club tournaments. The USGA handicap fee is billed separately in June.
Organization
The WGA is organized under member-approved Bylaws and guided by Rules and Regulations adopted by its Executive Board of Directors. The Board of Directors consists of eight members, elected annually in November. While the Half Rounders are all members of the WGA and the HR chair is a member of the Board of Directors, they also have their own Board of Directors to oversee their various programs, which are open to all WGA members.
WGA Golf Program
The WGA has reserved tee times open to all members, whether playing 9 or 18 holes, on both Tuesday and Thursday mornings beginning at 8:00. The Half Rounders play every Tuesday with an organized game twice a month, and 18-hole competitions are held every Thursday for those who wish to participate. Both groups schedule a monthly luncheon and meeting following a morning of golf.
