JI Ladies Golf Association
Golf on Great Jekyll Island Courses
Jekyll Island Ladies' Golf Association is open to all
female golfers. Members play every Tuesday on one of the three
18-hole golf courses with tee times starting at 9 am (October-May) and at 8:30
am (June-September). Monthly hostesses select the game for
each Tuesday and make the pairings, therefore we ask members to sign
up before 5:00 pm Sunday if they wish to play. Association
members also compete in a number of tournaments including
the "Queen Bee", Member/Member, Guys & Dolls, and the Ladies Club
Championship. At the end of March, members also have fun playing in the
"Millionaires Cup" where the Red Rockefeller team & the Blue Goodyear
team battle for the Cup in a Match Play format.
Visiting female golfers are welcome to play on Tuesday playdays as
a guest of JILGA. As a guest, they may play without paying
association fees, but are ineligible for prizes. Guest status is limited
to four weeks.
Annual membership fee is $35 and includes the USGA handicap system
fee. Membership forms are available in the Pro Shop.
USGA Golf Handicap System
Like most club golf JILGA uses the USGA handicap system to ensure that
differing levels of skills can play competitively with each other. For new
members who have never had a handicap, they will be enrolled in the USGA system,
and will create a starting one, based on the results of their first few weeks of
play. Jekyll Island being a place of active recreation encourages those who want
to walk while they play to do so. For those who wish to use a cart, they are
available at the golf Center Clubhouse.
