Wecome to Rhode Island!

Whether you are a new golfer or you already know your way around the links, if you're interested in playing golf, networking, and connecting with other female golfers in the RI & southern MA area, our chapter of the Executive Women's Golf Association is for you! 

We are a chapter of women from all professions; we are executives, non-execs, college students and retirees.  And we embrace all the skill levels - but have a particular soft spot in our hearts for the beginners, because we were all beginners once!  We are very inclusive, offering both friendly and competitive events. 

One thing we are certain of, you will feel welcome!  Take a look around...  Need more info?  Please email our current
membership chair.  Hope to see you soon!
