Membership

Membership in the Kansas Golf Association is open to organized golf clubs and golf associations in the state of Kansas. Individuals are members by virtue of their affiliation with a member club or association. If your club or association is not a member of the KGA, please contact our office to discuss the many benefits. The KGA has a variety of membership types for facilities and can help you get one started.
