How to become a member of the VGA

Currently the Vermont Golf Association charges no fees for membership.
If you meet the following eligibility requirements, you are automatically a member of the Vermont Golf Association!

• Vermont Resident – Any male amateur golfer, as of the first day of the tournament, who is a legal resident of the State of Vermont and is a member, in good standing, of a member club of the Vermont Golf Association and maintains an active, valid GHIN handicap at that club.

*All participating players are required to have an active GHIN Handicap card with an up-to-date Handicap Index.  Non-Vermont Residents with active, valid GHIN handicaps from other states are welcome to participate in any VGA event without restriction with the exception of the 3 Major Championships – the Amateur, the Mid-Amateur and the Senior Amateur.  In order to participate  in the Vermont “Majors” the  player must also meet the following eligibility requirements:

• Non-Vermont Resident* – Any male amateur golfer, as of the first day of the tournament, who is not a legal resident of the State of Vermont, but has been a member in good standing of any Vermont Golf Association member club for the past three years, has an active GHIN handicap issued by a Vermont Golf Association member club and has posted a minimum of 10 rounds of golf in the last 12 months outside of the major championships at any VGA member club.
